In Sindarin..

[Aaliyah Baggins]

In Sindarin how would you say Satan or by others the Devil and Demons?

[Wilwarin]

Um.......this question should have been asked in Elvish Phrases for Everyday life, or in the Sindarin thread........so why don't you head on over to The Sindarin Thread and I'll answer your question there.

Please take the time—it you haven't already—to read the sticky "About Elvish and this Forum", there I have listed a few guidelines for posting that help to make this forum run smoother. Thanks!

I think this question should be in the weapons section, but Glamdring is the sword that Gandalf wields:

We don't know a lot about Glamdrings early history, but we can work out from Elrond's words that it it was forged some time during the second to fifth centuries of the First Age (the centuries when Gondolin existed), and that it was borne by Turgon. We must assume that Turgon wielded Glamdring incredibly fiercely, as many thousands of yours later the name of Glamdring still stuck fear into the Orcs. Glamdring then passes out of knowledge for about 6,000 years, before turning up in the hands of the trolls in the Hobbit, after which it was claimed by Gandalf, who carried it with him throughout the War of the Ring (and it came back with him after the Bridge of Khazad-dum), until he took it with him when he sailed into the West.

Orcrist is another matter. We know even less about this blade, save that it was also forged in Gondolin, and also managed to find its way into the troll-hoard (the same one as Glamdring. Also, that's where Sting was found), where it was discovered by Thorin Oakenshield, and was buried with him after his death in the Battle of five armies. Now there's an interesting thing to note here - we are toldin the hobbit that the sword was placed ON Thorin's tomb (by Thranduil), and that it 'gleamed ever in the dark if foes approached', but in LOTR we are told there that Orcrist '...lay now upon the breast of Thorin...' we seems to indicate that it was buried with him. Orcrist isn't seen in the films, so there are no film pictures for it.
