Hey, he earned that name in battle! Wear it proudly!

What did he do to earn his real name?

Sanctus@lemmy.world on 29 Oct 2024 17:26 next collapse

Idk my brother is the Lotr buff and this sent me down a rabbit hole. I guess its just his name in Telerin, but now I can say my brother is wrong about something he is passionate about and that in itself is worth it.

Maybe he found some interesting new uses for a Palantir.

First you have to crank the shaft to get some power & establish signal, then proceed to tell some 75%-of-minimum-wage operator in Mordor who you wish to contact, and only then explain in great detail a rather hot sexual encounter that borders on fantasy.

Such is the daily life of a junior teleporner.

No really, your parents named you that?

Real time ultra fast (self-?)censorship directly on the data input bus to the brainhole.

Nothing is prefect, let us just pretend this didn’t happen just now & lets enjoy the work further.

I’m guessing.

They also have this weird cousin named Nhentai that nobody wants to acknowledge.

Is it pronounced differently? Like Tokyo Sexwale isn’t pronounced like you just did in your head.

Uncurious3512@lemmy.world on 30 Oct 2024 21:21 next collapse

Sorry, as someone who frequently mispronounces everything, I’m not the right person to ask.

BearGun@ttrpg.network on 01 Nov 2024 02:05 collapse

I don’t think so, at least not meaningfully. Obviously it has a different meaning: tel- is seemingly a prefix that means “finish, end, be last”, and orn means tree (can also be seen in his other name, Celeborn). So the meaningful pieces would be tel and orn, which means that the p might be less pronounced than an English person would normally do it, but it doesn’t make much of a difference.

Tl;dr: he’s just named Teleporno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Where is that mentioned? I don’t remember it from the books.

It’s in the appendices. It tells us the authentic Westron names of all the main Hobbits we follow.
