Eruanna · 04-24-2003, 04:44 PM

Mithril means True Silver.

Firondoiel · 04-25-2003, 03:27 PM

Sorry Eruanna. Mithril was called True Silver, but it did not mean that.

Eruanna · 04-25-2003, 03:58 PM

The only other name that I know for Mithril is Moria-silver. Is that it?

(Mithril is the Elvish name...mith means grey and ril means brilliance....grey brilliance doesn't sound too good

Sorry for the delay, I've been away on a short break. I'll post my questions later, when I've unpacked etc.

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-26-2003, 08:25 PM

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Gilraen, I love it that you checked the Downs before unpacking. That just about sums up what being a B-D'er is all about. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Surely worthy of mention in the "You know your obsessed with the Barrow Downs when ..." thread in the Barrow Downs forum. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

gilraën · 04-27-2003, 05:33 AM

elven maiden Earwen · 04-27-2003, 10:52 AM

2. ethir Maia or Eru?

gilraën · 04-27-2003, 12:36 PM

You were 'hotter' with your first answer, but it's not specific enough.

elven maiden Earwen · 04-27-2003, 01:01 PM

Alue or Manwe

gilraën · 04-27-2003, 02:00 PM

No [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] If you knew the answer to the first question you'd get this one straight off [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Beren 2
Beruthiel 1

Beren87 · 05-01-2003, 04:27 PM

3.

Quote:

Saruman in his degradation had become, not a dragon but a jackdaw

A jackdaw is a Eurasian bird famous for thievery.

gilraën · 05-02-2003, 12:15 AM

Beruthiel · 05-02-2003, 02:02 AM

No. 6 is 26 but I can't get no. 5!!

gilraën · 05-02-2003, 04:02 AM

Beruthiel, how many before Denethor?

Beruthiel · 05-02-2003, 06:27 AM

Right I'm sorry, that would make it 25 then, correct?

gilraën · 05-02-2003, 07:38 AM

Yes Beruthiel, correct [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Beren 3
Beruthiel 2

Beren87 · 05-02-2003, 02:54 PM

Isn't he one of the members or scholars of The Philippine Tolkien Society? The society is his connection anyway, I found that.

gilraën · 05-02-2003, 04:03 PM

He was a member, but there is another connection.

Beren87 · 05-04-2003, 12:13 AM

I can't find anything really specific. He was on a New York radio show and answered quite a few Tolkien questions...he's apparently a really big scholar, with a special expertise around Quenya.

gilraën · 05-04-2003, 02:45 AM

5/What connection did John Jethro Rashbold have with Lord of the Rings?

Answer - He was JRR Tolkien.

Quote:

Answer - He was JRR Tolkien.

Do explain. I'm curious.

gilraën · 05-04-2003, 05:39 PM

Rashbold is a translation of Tolkien. It is explained in HoME IX. It was a 'fictitious' name used when writing the Notion Club Papers.

"The surname of the apparently speechless undergraduate John Jethro Rashbold is a translation of Tolkien (Toll-Kuhn: see letters no. 165 and note 1)."
