Posted: Sat Mar 11, 2006 6:21 am Post subject: Two questions about Gondorian names |
|
|
I'm not entirely clear on these subjects:
1. Were all names in Gondor of Sindarin origin or only the names of nobility? In the LotR we have Beregond and Bergil which are Sindarin. Hurin is a historic name that I'm not sure about. And Ioreth is also unclear - I don't think it's Elvish, more in accordance with Haleth, Andreth, which are in what language? And what do they mean, if anything?
Basically, I have to name a Gondorian OFC of common lineage, and I'm not sure if I must stick to Sindarin or invent something more Mannish-sounding.
2. What are the terms of addressing for underage Stewardlings by the men of lesser position - Master X? I have a conversation between Boromir and his teacher and they both address to one another as Master + Name. I think it's a bit clumsy.
I'd appreciate your thoughts. |

Here is a topic that I started a long time ago, where I asked a similar question. And I got some very good answers, so I thought you might want to take a look!  |
