I always thought he was the Rider of Last Hope.

Take the thread, anyway.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 01-17-2005, 11:10 PM

Perhaps he was. I'd never have figured it out without my handy dandy copy of Hisweloke's dictionary. I must go now and prepare something sufficiently nasty.

Eureka, I have found it: Uilos.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-18-2005, 08:01 PM

Nasty indeed, Sophia. Uilos is the Sindarin form of Oiolosse, which is Taniquetil.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 01-18-2005, 08:12 PM

Ah, but it also means something else. See if you can find it now...

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-18-2005, 08:44 PM

Cruel and nasty, we shall be. As the name may have only referred to the summit, the answer may be as simple as Ilmarin, which are the halls built upon the summit.

However, considering 'Oiolosse' was simply the most common name used, there are also Amon Uilos, Mount Everwhite, the White Mountain, the Holy Mountain, Elerrina, the Hill of Ilmarin, and the Mountain to choose from.

Perhaps I'm nastier than I should be.

There is still another meaning. One I might add (if I wanted to give you a clue) which has personal significance to me. And nothing to do with Oiolosse

Uilos, also know as alfirin or simbelmyne. A pretty white flower

That what you were looking for? I believe that Amon Uilos was named for these flowers that adorned it.
