What does the writing on Narsil mean in plain English?

[Lomelinde]

Could anyone tell me what (in English, lol) what is written on Narsil?

 

[Celebthôl]

Fire something....Nar means fire...

 

[Boromir]

My friend could tell you in a second, but I don't remeber what he said it said. Sorry.

I really don't know what you mean, so I'll tell you what I think you mean:
On the movie sword there is tengwar on the Narsil:

My name is Narsil, a mighty sword;
Telchar made me in Nogrod

I hope that answers your quesiton

 

[Lomelinde]

Yeah thanks, that's what I was wondering. I saw on the RotK poster (w/ Aragorn) that there was Tengwar on the handle. Glad I finally know...my curiosity was killing me,lol

Ah ha!

In the back of the Sil:

Nar = "fire"

sil = "shine (with white or silver light)"

Celebthol, I think you're sniffing up the wrong tree!

He/she was asking what was writting on Narsil, not what Narsil meant.

 

[Celebthôl]

BAH!! darn it, read it wrong

It was still written on Narsil...maybe...kinda...prolly not....*runs and hides*

 

[Lomelinde]

Yes, thank you, I'm horrible at gender-guessing. I can't count how many times I've mistaken prominent people on this forum for a man/women, where they're actually vice versa!

 

[Lomelinde]

eak! that's something I've done before...gender confusion. only it's worse when you do it in person. this lady got really mad at me once because I called her little girl a boy. woops! it's not MY fault tho! it was halloween and the child was dressed up in a very nuetral costume (a clown *shudder*)...so I took a wild stab and guess it was a boy. oh well, it's not like I'll ever see them again.
