dramborleg

proper name. Thudder-sharp

The axe of Tuor, translated “Thudder-sharp”, appearing in various early name lists along with its shorter form Drambor (LT2/203; PE13/103; PE15/22). This name seems to be a combination of drambor “thudder” and leg “sharp”, as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT2A/Dramborleg; LT1A/Tári-Laisi). Its Elvish name did not appear in later works (UT/172).
