Ah yes. Can't remember if we had this one before.

Would that be Turin's sword addressing Turin?

Any more guesses on this? If I recall correctly, it had two names, and either will do!

I obviously can't remember. The only way I would get it would be to look it up...

I'll see if Lali or Dwyn (I'm getting used to that) want to guess first, if not I'll post another.

Where's Berhael? I'd bet a bottle of 16-year-old Lagavulin that she'd know.

Gah! I can't recall now... I *knew* it, though. Let me think about it a bit more.

Gurthang??? (a bit off with Tolkien trivia... but Turin is one of may favourite tragic characters)

Ooh, I'm confused now, I had accepted Ber's answer of Anglachel, but I think it was actually called Gurthang at that time.

Go ahead and ask the next question anyway!

Anglachel was the sword's original name, it was renamed Gurthang (which means dark something - my Elvish has gone rusty beyond recovery), so I will happily concede defeat. I was stumped for a follow-up, anyway!

Really Ber, even I know that Ang = Iron, as in Angmar :)

Gurthang = Dark Iron, or the Black Sword, one of Turins many aliases!

Can you believe that I had identified Ang in Anglachel, but it completely passed me by in Gurthang? I somehow figured out that the "dark" bit was "gur", not "gurth". :roll: <- at self :doh1: Told you I was rusty.

Btw, note to my spellchecker: I really meant "gur", not "guy", and "gurth", not "girth". :roll: <- at Macbook

:D
