Tolkien fact of the day

There is a name in Telerin, the language of the Elves of Lindar, that means silver-tall

the Telerin word for silver is Telepi

the Telerin word for tall is Orno

the name

is Teleporno

It sure is.

There is a whole-ass elf that narrowly avoided being named this, he appears in the actual published books and is married to Galadriel.

Which would have been one hell of a trade-off, honestly. Like if God said "you can be married to a beautiful and brilliant sorcerer-queen who rules over a magical woodland kingdom, but you have to live with being named Teleporno for the rest of your life", I'd have to think about that one.
