Uruviel

[VanimaEdhel]

Well, it is a lot easier to play a part when you have a name. If I don't have a name in some of the acting I do, I make one up. Also, making up a history and the like helps as well.<P>Well: for the names:<BR>Uru means fire and urúva means like or of fire (in Quenya), so Uruviel is probably fire maiden or something along those lines.<P>Gollor means magician (Sindarin, noun) and golodh means Gnome (as in Tolkien sense: deep Elf) and râd means "path" or "way". So Golradir might have something to do with either deep Elves or magicians and "paths" or "ways".<P>Galdor, obviously "gal" denoting "light" (which we would know from Galadriel...) and dôr means dwelling, although "-dor" is also used as a masculine ending. I guess it could connote "Light-dweller" or something of the like.<P>Calaglinel, "Calad" also means "light" and "glîn" means "glimmer" and "-el" is a female ending.<P>Saelbeth, "sael" means "wise" and I can't find a meaning for "beth" other than "betha-" which means "to trample", which I doubt was what was meant...<P>All I can find for Erestor is eressë, which means "single" or "only", but I'm not sure if that's what was meant...<P>Dinendal, dínen means silent...eep: I thought "dal" was a word. I guess maybe it's just an ending...maybe it means "scout" as it's classified as "Silent Scout" as well...<P>Well, maybe that helps with the names in any event.<P>I think that it is nice that Peter Jackson or the actors gave them names. I would be interested to know the "histories" of the characters...
