Here's one for the HoME experts.
Meril-i-Turinqi is the great-granddaughter of Ingwe. Aside from Indis, did Tolkien ever give names to Ingwe's wife or and of his other female relatives? _________________ Books would not be read, and pipes would not smoke.

I remember it mentioning his son and the group of Vanyar who were descended from Ingwe - the Inwir, I think? But I don't remember any women mentioned other than the Lady of Eressa. I'll take a peek through and see just to make sure, but I don't think there's anything.
This is one of the many times when an Index of the History of Middle-earth would come in handy. Just a one stop look up for all the volumes of HoMe. I can't find it for sale at the US Amazon site - only the UK. Guess I'll have to quit being cheap and just pay the extra shipping to order it from there.

Thanks, Andreth.
I was afraid that none of them had names. I guess this means I'll have to head to the Quenyan name generator and do the best I can.
The Inwir sound like Ingwe's close family.
He had at least one son. It's debatable if there were more of them or of the Professor just kept changing his mind and renaming the one. _________________ Books would not be read, and pipes would not smoke. The day slipped out of his hand, running aimlessly to waste. JRR Tolkien. The Lost Road |
