Word of the Week March 24th 2011

[Natalie_R 10]

This week's word-of-the-week is a little tricky because it's not strictly an English word!

 

Here's the clue: It pays homage to the fantasy novel writer JRR Tolkien in celebration of Tolkien Reading Day tomorrow.

 

The word is:

Vedui’ il’er

 

Any Tolkien fanatics out there know what it means?

Wasn't this when Gandalf had to open the door to the gates of Moria, a type of greeting, "Speak friend and enter", something like that?:whistling:

[DestinysAngels 10]

I think it means - "Greetings Everyone!"

 

(Greetings in elvish)

[lilythepink 11]

Obviously a welcome greeting or farewell?

[Natalie_R 10]

I think it means - "Greetings Everyone!"

 

(Greetings in elvish)

 

DestinysAngels is right! (again)

 

It's Elvish for "Greetings everyone"

Those of us who trolls and gnomes also guess right! lol
