(unofficial) Naming Contest! Win free (green) dice!

Post by Glorelendil » Mon Nov 24, 2014 9:18 pm

Ok, the time has come to change my username. Whoever comes up with the best* translation of "Elfcrusher" in any Tolkien language wins one set of free TOR dice, courtesy of the Crusher of Elves.

And, no, a cryptic rune that translates as "The Poster Formerly Known as Elfcrusher" is not a valid entry.

*'best' as determined by a secret committee, of which I'm the chair and have the sole vote. I'll give it one week and pick a winner. Winner PMs me a mailing address and I'll have the new dice sent.

Why are you changing your username? (no, that's not my submission)
Rignuth: Barding Wordweaver Wanderer in Southron Loremaster's game.
Amroth Ol'Hir: High Elf Vengeful Kin Slayer in Zedturtle's game.
Jakk O'Malli: Dwarven Orator Treasure-Hunter in Hermes Serpent's game.

It's just not very Tolkieny.

Even if I decide not to switch there will be a contest winner.

Hope we're allowed more than one entry.

Edheldamel - elf hammerer (rather, Hammerer of Elves!)
Dringel - elf hammer(er) (or Dringeldir)
Eldringion - elf hammerer (or Eldringor, Eldringon, etc)
Gondeldannen or Edhelgondannen - big rock fallen on an elf
Gondantir - big rock falling on an elf
Norogondant - run from the big, falling rock!
Norolantelgondir - run elf! from the big rock fall (or Norotantelgondir, run elf! from the big falling rock)

There's a start!

Cerediredheldaen (Maker of Elf Corpses, Sindarin)
Golugbarashal (Elf Crusher, Black Speech)
Golugtimorbûrz (Elf Nightmare, Black Speech)
Zanmarzgi (Elf Crusher, Orcish)
Zankoptog (Elf Dismemberer, Orcish)
Lulhaizaduk (Elf Destroyer, literally "flower-folk destroyer", Orcish)

(This is the name of a famous goblin prince, who killed many elves, and is in no way related to Robert.)

My entry is in Klingon:

jubwI' beQmoHwI'
immortal flattener

(Obviously, KIingons have no word for elf.)

What? Klingon isn't elvish? Au contraire! See my Klingon mode for Tengwar.
