Ar-Sakalthôr was the 22nd King of Númenor. As had now become the custom in Númenor, he took his royal name in the Adûnaic tongue. His name in Quenya was Tar-Falassion. Ar-Sakalthôr ruled Númenor for sixty-nine years.[1]

Etymology[edit | edit source]

Sakalthôr is an Adûnaic name. Its meaning is not glossed, but Paul Strack suggests it means "Shore-son" and is a compound of sakal ("shore") and the suffix -thôr ("-son").[4] The meaning of the Adûnaic prefix Ar- is not glossed, but Paul Strack suggests it means "king" and is a prefixal form of ârû ("king") or derived from the same root.[5]

Falassion is a Quenya name. Its meaning is not glossed, but Paul Strack suggests it means "Shore-son" and is a compound of falassë ("shore") and the patronymic suffix -ion ("-son").[6] Like for all the rulers of Númenor whose name was inscribed in the Scroll of Kings, the prefix tar- ("high") was added to his name.[7]
