Re: The Tolkien Quoting Trivia
Shiny bell, I missed you!

What was the original nickname for Aragorn before Tolkien changed it into 'Strider'?

Re: The Tolkien Quoting Trivia
"Trotter" (HoME passim)
a name with unfortunate connotations these days in the UK..

Re: The Tolkien Quoting Trivia
Sorry about the consecutive posts...

Further to my last answer....as HoME is not one of the allowable sources,
Trotter=Aragorn is also in the Letters, note 2 to No 83 - to Christopher Tolkien.

 Sorry about that - I'll stick to the permitted books in future...

Re: The Tolkien Quoting Trivia
Okay... I'm not sure whether this is even a correct quesiton, but it does provide you with something to search for (I guess).

What is the Elvish word for 'Great Bear' ?

Re: The Tolkien Quoting Trivia
Er, Quenya or Sindar for the constellation, or literally Great Bear?

Re: The Tolkien Quoting Trivia
I habve to say? Oh - hang on isn't a trivia quiz where you know the answer? Looking it up is cheating lol

Er the reference is my brain - yes I'm a bit of an LOTRO geek. Put it like this I have a tattoo of the rohirrim flag on my shoulder.......
I suspect I could dig it out if you like.

*wanders off to search*

edit: Silmarillion, p48.

OK, my question...which elvish river name is rendered border-river in english

Re: The Tolkien Quoting Trivia
Well, I believe he was going to marry her to Aragorn, as Arwen was a rather late addition to the cast - but that was from HoME, which is not an allowable source. I can't find any other source...perhaps Marky knows differently.
