Perhaps we can work backwards. The PIE root *serp- gave rise to two separate groups of words (we know about serpent, Sanskrit sarpati, &c). However, the other...
... The root LOK was glossed "bend, loop" in both SA and on PE17/160, though in the Etymologies it was glossed "great serpent, dragon". In one place (PE17/160)...

Hi there, good work :) I am sorry that I can't read all your details and verify them, someone else perhaps could. For starters I would say that the canonical...
One possibility to avoid confusion with dragon is to use the word nosse or nostale with it. The Neo-quenya wordlist at Wikia uses these two terms as 'genus'...

Hello again! I'm writing so soon as there is an idea plaguing my thoughts that haven't given me peace for a couple of days, so I thought that discussing it...

I started playing Lord of the Rings Online about 2 years ago and have made 3 elven characters. I came up with names for them that sounded to me as if they...
Many real-world names are basically meaningless, chosen simply because they "sound nice". Others once had some meaning, but have drifted so far phonetically...
