Well, they're just recapping past episodes on 'Survivor' now, so I think I can squeeze this in. (It's a comedy, not a reality show, no matter what anyone says. :) )


Rider/Citizen of the Brass Storm-city - no word for brass or whirlpool

The Vortex/Whirlpool of Raging/Angry Fire - no words for votex or void

The Black Crawling Demon Tower - Tel' Raukobaradmor Tanyabel
- Tel' Raukominasmor Tanyabel
(the black demon tower that moves)

try to be more broad and less narrow in your description if at all possible, generic words work better, since I can only translate what's in the dictionary.

The Darkness that Burns/Consumes the Sky/Air/Heaven - Tel'huine tanya Vastel'vilya (the darkness that consumes the air)

Sage of the Mist/Clouds - Sintartel'hisie (sage of the mist)

The Horned Wolf - Tel' Draugtilion

A NOTE ON PRONOUNCIATION:

This is straight out of the Silmarillion, so TAKE NOTE.

CONSONANTS

C - always has the value of k, never s; thus Celeborn is 'Keleborn', not 'Seleborn'

CH - always has the value of ch in Scotch lock or German buch, never that of ch in English church.

DH - is always used to represent the sound of a voiced ('soft') th in English, that is the th in then, not the th in thin.

G - always has the sound of English g in get; thus pronounciation is as in begin, not gin.

VOWELS

AI - has sound of the English eye.

AU - has the value of the English ow in town; thus the first syllable of Sauron is like English sour, not sore.

EI - has the sound of English grey.

IE - should not be pronounced as in English piece, but with both the vowels i and e sounded, and sun together; thus Ni-enna, not 'Neena'.

UI - has the sound of English ruin.

AE and OE - ae may be prounced in the same way as ai, and oe as in English toy.

EA and EO - are not run together, but constitute two syllables; these combinations are pronounced: ea - ay-ah , eo - ey-oh[/i].

U - should be pronounced oo.

ER, IR, UR - before a consonant or at the end of a word, should not be pronounced as in enlish fern, fir, fur but as in English air, eer, oor.

E - at the end of words is always pronounced as a disctinct vowel. it is likewise pronounced in the middle of words. pronounced as eh.


Hope this helps. ;)
