Crabannan's just run into Eodwine and Company.

I hope that the singular of "Rohirrim" is "Rohir."

If not, then I just coined a word.

Rohir is a Gondorian term for, I think, "horserider". That's off the top of my head. But rest assured, Tolkien coined the word.

The "Rohirrim" refer to themselves as the Eorlingas. Singular: Eorling.

By the way, Gwath, Eodwine is about 6 ft one inch, Whereas Harreld is 6 ft 4, and bigger of build.

As lmp said, Rohir is indeed the singular for Rohirrim.

It is, however, Elvish - the Sindarin singular for Horse-lord ( roch = horse; hîr = lord from Hiswelókë's Sindarin dictionary).

Well, good. It seemed right, but I couldn't remember actually reading it anywhere.

I got a post started today... I thought I was going to have an hour to write when I ended up only having about 10 min.

So that'll either be up late tonight if I'm not too tired or tomorrow morning.

This is looking absolutely great! Interesting new characters and the old ones seem to be in a good shape (the kids and their fight was plain hilarious!).

So I finally managed to read it all. I'll be sending a post soon on Stigend and the venture for wood. If Lommy can't write something soon I may take Cnebba and continue that scene as well.
