Ooh... try Thushara. That's a hard one.

Hey guys

I'm trying to find a good place to put this link: http://s12gladiatus.com/game/c.php?uid=41402

try it and tell me what you think.

the dude named wulfthesaxon

nimoloth:

I know the basic story, but here goes nothing *backs away from icy stares*

What famous verses come from the Tale of Beren and Luthan? (excusce spelling, you know what I mean!)

That's "Lúthien". The epic itself is called, "The Lay of Leithian". Probably the line that Aragorn repeated in The Lord of the Rings: "Tinúviel! Tinúviel!"

What kind of style were they written in? (Aka how many syllables, lines, in one verse? Does it rhyme?)

Eight syllables per a line; dunno how many lines or verses, (it's very very very very long; hence it's called an epic) and it does rhyme.

Does it use metaphors? Similes? Why? What would they represent?

Duh. There are so many that I can't possible answer your question without spending several months doing nothing but going through the 210 pages of the poem.

Any charaters that hide in the shadows that are actually really awesome?

??? Why don't you read it yourself? You can find the entire thing in a book called, "The Lays of Beleriand."

Place names that aren't used in LOTR that perhaps have been changed?

The Events described in the epic poems are mostly in countries or places that have been destroyed by the time that The Lord of the Rings happens. So, yeah, some names you don't seen anymore.

Okay, translation time!

tpfang56:

I have no idea what “Thushara” means, so could you give the nationality of the person who owns it? I might be able to track it down that way. Meanwhile, Here the phonetic translation: “Thusara”.

Wulfthesaxon:

I tried clicking on the link, but it appears to be broken.

Well, phonetically, my name is actually pronounced "Thoo-sha-ra". And my name is Indian, and it means something along the lines of "dew drop". See if you can find anything.

Sindarin doesn't have the "sh" sound, so it would be turned into an "s".

Indian as in Native American or India?

And, are you Male or Female?

^-^ Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. Especially since I tried looking up translations myself and got pretty much nowhere. ^-^;

I have a kitty named Fergus. He's a boy kitty. Is there anything in Elvish that works for that?

Fergus means "Man Vigor". In Sindarin:

Hurdir-Vigor Man (hûr+dîr)

Hurven-Vigor Man (hûr+benn)

Hurwaith-Vigor Manhood (hûr+gwaith)

Tunir-Vigor Man (tû+dîr)

Thank you that's cool

Um, I know that the last time anyone wrote anything on this topic was May, but I'm curious.

I'm named after the Roman moon/hunt godess Diane and my grandma, Dini- my name is Deanna. Do you know what that would be in Elvish? Um, any or all varieties? ^^

Deanna means "heavenly" or "divine".

And I've added the name to my name list.

Okay my name is kind of strange in the fact that it is a double-barrel, therefore it can be quite tricky to get my full name translated. I usually separate them but I'm not sure if that works properly. My name is Anna-Margaret. Please could you tell me my Elvish name in either Sindarin or Quenya.

xx

In Sindarin, neither Anna (Favor/Grace) nor Margaret (pearl) can be translated exactly. In Quenya it's possible. I'll reconstruct the word for Grace into Sindarin, and give a way around it for Margaret.

Anna in Quenya:

Eruannë-Grace (Eruanna+-ë)

Erulissë-Grace (Erulissë)

Margaret:

Marillë-Pearl (marilla+-ë)

Anna in reconstructed Sindarin:

Eruandeth-Grace (Eruant+-eth)

Eruandien-Of Grace (Eruant+-ien)

Eruanwen-Grace Maiden (Eruant+gwend)

Erulieth-Grace (Erulí+-eth)

Eruliwen-Grace Maiden (Erulí+gwend)

Margaret in Sindarin:

Miraear-Jewel of the Sea (mîr+gaear)

I've now got an entire forum devoted to translations!
