Not if you're Quenya obsessed...
![]() ![]() I'd tell you how I remember, but I don't think it would make much sense... ![]() Can you remember Silmaril itself?

Alright. Spontaneous Elvish lesson: From... you guessed it, the Silmarillion: Sil means "to shine" Silima is what Fëanor called the substance he used to make the Silmarilli. I suppose it's fairly normal that the second I would get dropped. Ril means "brilliance" So, you've got "Silmaril". Now, repeat it every day for a month, and you'll figure out how to say it. ![]() The name "Silmarillion" itself comes from the fact that the full name for Silmaril is Silmarillë. Plural in Quenya is Silmarilli. Add -on- as a genitive plural suffix. Basically makes the word mean "of the Silmarils" Silmarillion. Add "Quenta" to the beginning, and you've got "History of the Silmarils" or some such thing. Did I lose you? ![]()

Well, try it without cut and paste!
![]() ![]() How about, "sil" and "ril" rhyme. So all you've got between is "ma". Sil-ma-ril. Sil-ma-ril.

![]() Hey? Can anyone tell me why Ancalagon the Black is called that? It seems kind of... paradoxical to me. ![]()

No, no, no.
What I mean is the name strikes me as odd. It reminds me of Ancalima, which means "exceedingly bright" and the second half of Turgon and Fingon, which is a ridiculously meaningless version of "cáno" for "commander" or something of the sort. So... Ancalagon the Black. Who would call a black dragon "exceedingly bright"?
