Y = Yavanna
The "Giver of fruits". Aulë's wife and one of the Aratar. From her came the trees and the flowers and what grows in Arda, and from her came too the two trees in Valinor.
Re: Tolkien's ABC
By the life of me, I can't think of a Z. Ideas, anyone?
If not, would someone like to start again with A? Or shall we do it backwards this time?
Re: Tolkien's ABC
I was about to say Zharkû (the orkish name for Saruman) -- but then I checked and found that the name is Sharkû. Sooo, let us do backwards, yes! But we can't repeat names!.
Y = Can't find a name, so, unless someone else does...
Re: Tolkien's ABC
Just for the records, and since apparently you gave up:
Yávien:
Daughter of Nolondil the younger son of Vardamir, eldest son of Elros (so, great-granddaughter of Elros).
Zimrahin:
Malach’s wife, mother of Adanel and great-grandmother of Hador Lórindol and Emeldir (Beren’s mother).
Zimrahil:
Adûnaic name of Míriel, daughter of Tar-Palantir. She took the name Ar-Zimraphel and her cousin and husband Pharazôn took the title of Ar-Pharazôn when they became Queen and King of Númenor.
Zimrathôn:
The son of Ar-Adûnakhôr, who was the first King of Númenor to oppose the Valar. The son did the same and when he became King he took his name in Adûnaic (Ar- Zimrathôn) instead Quenya (Tar-Hostamir).
Cai, board's lurker
EDITED:
I thought it would be nice to post for once...:
V = Valandil
Son of Silmarien and the first Lord of Andúnië.
Also,
The youngest of Isildur's Sons and his heir since his brothers were slain with their father. Edited by: Cailleann at: 9/3/05 1:48 pm
Firstborn daughter of Tar-Elendil, from her comes the line of the Lords of Andunië. His father gave her the Ring of Barahir (instead to give it to his son and heir being an heirloom of the Kings of Númenor). She was too the owner of the Elendilmir.
Re: Tolkien's ABC
I think the only "Q" would be Quickbeam -- and he was alreayd posted so... unless someone (ahem) knows of more chars starting with "Q"...
P = Peregrin Took
A hobbit, one of the companions of the Fellowship of the Ring.
Re: Tolkien's ABC
(Nope, I didn't, but I was tempted )
N = Nerdanel
Daughter of Mahtan and wife to Fëanor, mother of Maedhros, Maglor, Celegorm, Caranthir, Curufin, Amrod and Amras. She forsook her husband and refused to join the rebellion of the Noldor.
Re: Tolkien's ABC
Hmm... I can’t remember a name starting with ‘Q’, only Quickbeam. In fact I don’t think 'Q' is used in Quenya to build names (but titles) and less in sindarin since the letter doesn’t exist in that tongue. All I can think –and it is a title, not a name- is “Qalmë-Tàri” (lit. Mistress of Death), one of Nienna’s titles, and it's very old stuff (BoLT I).
