| Hey all! A friend of mine was wondering if there was a possible translation to Sindarin for "phoenix". It doesn't have to be exact - it can be another phrase that clearly refers to the phoenix. Thanks! |

There's no exact word in Sindarin. Couple of suggestions (based mainly on the most lyrical sounding combinations);
Naurthoron
ûrthoron
Thoronlach
(all of these are basically some variant on 'firey' or 'flaming' eagle. I picked eagle mainly because all the other 'bird words' refer to small birds)
If you wanted to use the 'small bird' word (generic for small birds) it gives;
Aew naur
Aewûr
