Re: Items In Middle Earth

Sweet! I guess it's just you and me on this thread, Mithaden! Okay. This one might actually bring more people in.

Name all of the "Hills" in Tolkien's works. When I say Hills, I mean a name starting with Amon. Name all the Amons, as it were. I count 11.

First one to get all 11, or the most, posts the next one. <img src=smile.gif ALT="

Re: Items In Middle Earth

Well, this is a really hard question. I can only remember 6:

Re: Items In Middle Earth

I can give you three more off the top of my head.
Amon Anwar (Hill of Awe, where the tomb of Elendil was placed)
Amon Ereb (Hill in the Silmarillion where Denethor (the elf) died)
Amon Obel (Hill in Brethil where the Haladin lived)

Good question, by the way!

Thanks, V.

Ok, I was not thinking of Anwar, so that is 12 now. The other two are correct, so we still have 3 to go that I can think of. <img src=smile.gif ALT="

On a side note: Amon Lhaw, spelled with the H. Just FYI. <img src=smile.gif ALT="

I want to add another Amon to the list:
Lanc (which was later called Dol Gundur)

Re: Items In Middle Earth

Okay, I wasn't thinking of that one, either. I think that's because I know it as Dol Guldur (that's what you meant, right?) and I have never heard it referred to as Amon Lanc. But, nevertheless, there are still 3 more to go that I am thinking of. We can stop soon, but let's see if anyone else wants to play. This is educational. <img src=smile.gif ALT="

Side note: Amon Hen is the Hill of Sight. <img src=smile.gif ALT="

Edit: Good job, Grond, Gwareth is one of those I was thinking of. We are down to 2 to go! <img src=smile.gif ALT="

Re: Items In Middle Earth

That is another one! Just 1 to go! Hmm...a clue, eh? This one is a little more...obscure I think. It was in RotK, and it means 'mount ever-snow-white'. Okay, if that doesn't do it, nothing will...give me the Amon name for it and we'll be done.

Unless anyone thinks it unfair, we'll say that whoever gets this one, can post the next question. <img src=smile.gif ALT="

Re: Items In Middle Earth

The region is close.
But the connection "quite stupid - North European language" certainly would have earned you a grim glance by JRRT.

Re: Items In Middle Earth

getting even closer... but Norwegian had changed a lot since older days compared to the 'ideal' language JRRT thought of. Maybe Norwegian did not have the air of myth which the tongue in question possesses... the names of the dwarves and of Gandalf are taken from a source in this respective language, this might be a reaso why JRRT was so delighted in his late days to here "The Hobbit" got translated.

Re: Items In Middle Earth

I have always believed that Tolkien took the names of the dwarves from some German book with dealed with a Ring or something like that. So, is German the answer?

Maybe Norwegian did not have the air of myth which the tongue in question possesses... the names of the dwarves and of Gandalf are taken from a source in this respective language, this might be a reaso why JRRT was so delighted in his late days to here "The Hobbit" got translated. <h6> Like yapping dogs Blind lead the blind Those who chain the future Are those time leaves behind Is glory now gone?
