	Hi guys! I hope you enjoy this quiz! Let me know if there are any errors or if you have suggestions. If you like this, I also have a easier version with strictly Lord of The Rings terms here http://www.sporcle.com/games/cirith/LOTR_meaning.

	I personally found this easier than the Lord of the Rings version -- probably because the Sil tends to give the meaning in the text. The only error can I see is that "Taniquetil" is spelled incorrectly.

	Alright thank you! I fixed the spelling error. And yeah, I only thought it would be easier since most people are more familiar with LotR,but it seems I'm not the only one who obsessed over the appendix in the Silmarillion :).

	Great quiz, well done! I really had to think hard to drag some of these up, so thanks for allowing a good amount of time.

	Excellent quiz.

	Good quiz! One suggestion: 'Gondolin' really means 'stone-song' (from Quenya 'Ondolinde'). Its inhabitants later gave it the folk etymology 'gond dolen', 'hidden rock'. I would go with the original meaning for the quiz.

	@Aiwendil: Thanks for your input. :) As "hidden rock" is the primary translation given in all of the indexes I've seen, I'm going to leave it up. However, I will add in stone-song as an alternate meaning.

	This really should be answer-in-order (if for no reason other than to keep people from accidentally getting "Ea" on the way to "Earendil"). Also, "Feanor" isn't really Quenya; it's the rendering of a Quenya name into Sindarin phonology. You should either change the language or also accept "Feanaro".
