According to the Quenya to English wordlists from the Ardalambion site, the singular is possibly:
Úlairë or Úlair Congrats to you! ~*~ Pio

I knew that davem of all people would not hold out against our 'canon' rules concerning Personal Titles for long, although I did enjoy his nonconformity for however brief it was.
 And right, HI a dark and winding one it is. I cannot say which I enjoy more: the thought of davem being an iconoclast, or his new title. It trips lightly and lyrically off the tongue, davem. Nicely done indeed. *goes off to delete that post from Bilbo S. Thompson on the news entry in response to Fordim's scrum*

Well I guess PEDANT will now have to be disbanded .... a short lived but effective NGO ......... And I thought it might be a second Jarndyce v. Jarndyce and Jarndyce....

This was the fastest case of pressure from the people accomplishing something since GDR people spent their Monday evenings chanting, "Wir sind das Volk"!

Finally! I had anticipated davem's being a Ghost Prince and expected that as soon as he becomes one, he shall have a personal title.
But why so dark a title, I wonder? And about the plural thing, I guess it would be quite appropriate, considering the depth and range of his thought equals that of many ordinary people combined! |

Yes, I also wondered why so dark a title. But it's very melodic, it's meant to be an assonance, right? You can't change it to Ulair without destroying a bit of that rhythm. Maybe this will persuade you
