Oropher

[Darth Fingon]

Attention, Jael!

I came across this while working out consonant combinations for the Sindarin Name Generator.

Following conventional rules, Oropher can be created from orod (mountain) + fêr (beech). The DF combination becomes PH. Thus Orodfer -> Oropher.

So he's 'Mountain Beech' rather than 'Tall Beech'?

Edit: By those rules, would Fêrion be 'Son of a Beech'?

Eh, you could go for either meaning. I just thought the DF -> PH thing was kind of neat.

And Fêrion would become Férion (or even Ferion). Circumflex accents shift to acute in compounds.

It is at that! Clears up a puzzlement for me.

This is why I rely on you for all my Sindarin needs. It's just too complicated.
