(the picture is as close as I could get)

OOOooo! Cool pic of Boromir! My daughter informs me I'm a member of the BOMB Squad (Boromir's Obsession Mad Babes; from ringbearer.org) I AM a big fan of Sean Bean; just saw "Don't Say a Word" last weekend. It was REALLY good!

One of my favorite parts of the FOTR soundtrack is the part I call "the redemption of Boromir", from 'Amon Hen'.

An elven language question for anyone on the thread. I know "Amon" is hill, and "Anon, or Nar" is sun, but what would the adjective 'sunny' be in the elven tongue? We're fixing to do a remodel on our house and we want to name it "Sunny Hill", but would love to do a nice sign using the elven language.

I'm not sure that there's enough known about Elvish to give you an adjective; I'll look though, but "Amon Nar" has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

I think Nia means "sparkly clean." So you could name your house Amon Nia for "Sparkly clean hill." ;^)

"Anon, or Nar" is sun

That should be ANOR or Nar is sun.

"would love to do a nice sign using the elven language"

As someone who was for many years in the sign business and loves signs and lettering, that strikes me as a delightful idea.

Found an online Elvish dictionary; here are all the entries having to do with "sun":

sun star (flower) elanor
sun-waning narbeleth
sun anor
Sunday (2nd day) Oranor
sunrise amrun
I would say Amon Anor would translate to "Hill of the Sun"... but hey, make it what you want. Nobody really speaks Quenya anyway...
