h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Just wanted to say I like the name! My usual name (Elentari - I'm in anagram mode at the moment) is from Qenya as well.

Thanks!

Quenya is a great poetic way to "translate" your name,I think.

Yeah, I agree, although mine isn't a translation, just thought it sounded cool. I may have to look up what my name would be now - but I'm at uni and don't have my books.

i'll help: give me your name and I'll look it up for you.
I'm at work and things are a little slow right now, so I've got the time.
I'll try to come up with a translation as well, if you like

I'd rather not post my name, but it means "light".

Well, since you use Elentari, I'll asume your female

'-wen' means 'maiden, girl', so I normally use it in female names.
Kinda like -o and -a in Italian. e.g. Lucio and Lucia (they both mean 'light', by the way)

'light' used as a noun:
cala
--> Calawen

'ray of light':
alca
--> Alcawen

'light' as an adjective:
calina
--> I wouldn't add -wen in this case. Sounds fine as it is.

Make your pick

Wow, thanks!

I like Calawen, I'm going to remember that!

Hi again Varindweion.

Just wanted to congratulate you on your front page entry! Very interesting, good job!

thanks Elentari.
glad you liked.

So how's life?
