I´m working on a fic about Erestor such as where he´s from, his family, and what could have led to him only being of enough importance to be named in the third age if he is from the first age
Here is some translations I´ve done for the fic in writing - QUENYA and ROHIRRIC (the langue of the people of Rohan)
Quenya:
Cullo = Red gold: Quenya
Carne = Red: Quenya; Carne is the word for red but if it´s a word holding more it changes to Carni-(other word) therefore it´s Carnistir and not Carnistir as Caranthir´s Quenya name
Sen = Child: Quenya
Carnisen = Red child: Quenya
Mori = Dark: Quenya
Attea = second: Quenya
Moriatfinwe = Dark second Finwe: Quenya; I don´t think I abbreviated it right but I did try
Yon = Son: Quenya; The reason why I don´t use Yondo is that Tolkien had some problems with the meaning so it ended up meaning both great grandson, child, and son, descendants, personal I like it to just mean great grandson
Meles = Love: Quenya; That is in “old Quenya” the one Tolkien ends up changing it to is Melme, although Meles seems to hold a meaning og more platonic than Melma
Eldarion = Son of the Eldar: Quenya; Yes it´s also the name of Aragorn´s son I just think it fits as a sharp remark of defense
Atan = Men/second (people): Quenya; Yes it´s more or less a way to say second in all and not just second born
Rohirric:
Theo = People: Rohirric; I am never going to try and find around in Rohirric, what a nightmare! Tolkien did imply that the Haladin were the forefathers of the people of Rohan so that´s why I´m using Rohirric
Eo = Noble: Rohirric; Eoh means horse (usually war horse) and Eorl nobleman and looking into the importance of horses for the people of Rohan I´m translating Eo to noble (yes I like the idea of them calling all their horses noble)
Red = Counselor/Wiseman: Rohirric; this is taken from the name Theodred which means folk counsel and we know that Theo is the people so Red must be the counsel
