What is "watchful, vigilant" in Sindarin? I know it's tirítë in Quenya (according to our translator at least). It's the translation of my name and I'm curious what it'll be.
watchful, vigilant in Sindarin?
I forgot to mention - at least as far as Elvish names go, a plain adjective cannot be used as a name. You might need to form some kind of compound from it, or add an agental suffix or some such.
Hm. Neither are terribly inspiring lol
Hm. An agental suffix? I suppose I've personally glossed my name as "Watchman", being a fan of Star Wars EU where they had Jedi Watchmen. What would that translate to? Tirindir?
"Watch-man" can be rendered as Tirnir or Tirdir (note that in this context man = male person).
Hm. Both sound rather repetitive. Tirwe perhaps? Though this seems to be a reconstruction from older, Quenya names (i.e. Manwë>Manwe, per www.elfdict.com
This seems to have mutated into simply "u" as in Elu. Tiru? Ick. I'll stick with Tirwe.
pen/ben seems to mean "one, somebody, etc.". Tíreben? Tírebpen? Tirben?
Tirwe is not possible in Sindarin.
With pen you can have Tirben as a late compound or Tirphen as an earlier compound.
