Do we have any botanist amongs us? Great lilies, snapdragons and laburnums?

Tamas Ferencz Apr 01, 2015 (11:23)

Not a botanist.
There is a EQ word for laburnum, lindelokte (in later Quenya probably *lindelohte)

There are also several names for lilies.

Hjalmar Holm Apr 01, 2015 (11:29)

I guess one could use a Q name for a flower in a S text?

Tamas Ferencz Apr 01, 2015 (11:54)

+Hjalmar Holm
which one?

Hjalmar Holm Apr 01, 2015 (23:24)

Like in Mennassir am sui inil dhaer a ninglor a lindelohte  nauren a glingast min i dinnu ned thîn bân! Where I substituted snapdragon for some other flower, which I have a name for.

+Hjalmar Holm if you look at the link I gave above, lindelohte has a cognate, glingol

Hjalmar Holm Apr 02, 2015 (00:35)

Oh, I missed that. It would perhaps be *lingol in S? G is, after all, not S.

Paul Strack Apr 04, 2015 (16:57)

G Glingol has a later Sindarin form S Glingal, with a new meaning "Hanging Flame". Both of these are alternate names for Laurelin. I think S glingal would work for laburnum given its yellow hanging flowers.

Maybe *lhuglanc (lit. "snakethroat") for Antirrhinum spp.?

Hjalmar Holm Apr 12, 2015 (17:23)

Inil, lingol, lhuglanc.
