Great. It's good to have you back, Beren87.

What is Gollum's original, untranslated name?

Bah, call me Beren. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Since Smeagol is mannish for Trahald whcih means burrowing in, I guess that's what you want. So, my answer is Trahald.

Question

Quote:
It is not to be wondered at that he became very unpopular and was shunned (when visible) by all his relations. They kicked him, and he bit their feet. He took to theiving, and going about muttering to himself, and gurgling in his throat. So they called him Gollum...
Sooo... his relatives?

I couldn't find anything more specific.

I believe it has officially been ten days.

What was Gollum's last word(s)?

You're right! He didn't provide any deep-seated wisdom that should be passed down through the generations. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I'm sorry... please name the ones who captured him (I know it was not in the question, but it's a bit hard to control the answer otherwise)

I recall five times: Sauron's servants (Ringwraiths? can't remember), Aragorn, Frodo and Sam (twice, I think; Gollum tried to escape but they caught him again) and Faramir's soldiers.

Oh, thank you, lathspell! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
So, what names did Gollum use for the moon and the sun?

P.S. Gollum tried to escape soon after Frodo and Sam caught him the first time; they were testing him by pretending they were sleeping and Gollum tried to flee (but didn't really get far).

Maybe this is more or less right.

'Where iss it, where iss it: my Precious, my Precious? It's ours, it is, and we wants it. The thieves, the filthy little thieves. Where are they with the Precious? Curse them! We hates them.'

From - The taming of Smeagol - page 599

Nope, not that either. It is something that he says word for word in both books but in LoTR it's part of a longer line.

Thanks, Malva.

OK, on a slightly different tack:

Who provided the voice for Gollum in the Bakshi cartoon film of LotR?
