Talk:Celebrimbor

I'm having second thoughts on my assumption that "Celebrimbor" comes from celeb + drambor. While drambor means "clenched fist", as in for punching, paur means a fist as in holding a craft-tool or implement. Does anyone know which is correct? "Drambor" is closer to "-imbor" but the Quenya quárë from Telperinquar is closer to Sindarin paur. --Narfil Palùrfalas 13:24, 19 June 2006 (EDT)

The Languages of Tolkien's Middle-earth defines it as 'Hand of Silver' or 'Silver Fist' as celebrin = silverlike; bor = hand, fist. Unfortunately drambor doesn't seem to be listed in the book. --Hyarion 13:31, 19 June 2006 (EDT)

My Sindarin dictionary (Dragonflame 2.0 by Hiswelókë; excellent downloadable program by the way) has no entry for bor. The entries for "fist" are drambor and paur. I'm not quite willing to accept bor or paur just yet. Does anyone else have any input? --Narfil Palùrfalas 13:37, 19 June 2006 (EDT)

Taking a second look at The Languages of Tolkien's Middle-earth, it mentions paur as meaning first or hand. --Hyarion 13:47, 19 June 2006 (EDT)
