I'm curious about something that probably should be placed in this article. Is Ilúvatar pronounced ILÚ-vatar or il-Ú-vat-ar? I had always pronounced it like the latter, but in the Silmarillion audiobook it was given as the former. --Narfil Palùrfalas 13:49, 7 August 2006 (EDT)
- I've always been terrible with pronunciations but I believe I would say ILÚ-vatar. It seems Ardamir's mp3 had been moved to Eru but it is now back at Ilúvatar to help clarify. --Hyarion 00:53, 8 August 2006 (EDT)
Move
Well, following our current "one concept=one article", perhaps we should move this to Eru?--Morgan 16:37, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
- I follow your drift, and we certainly should not have have two articles for the same concept. However, I'm not certain whether the article should called "Eru" or "Ilúvatar". Which is more appropriate?-- KingAragorn talk contribs edits email 16:46, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
- Kind of a tough choice: The Silmarillion index gives them roughly the same importance: no name is redirected to the other. I guess we a couple of options:
- Frequency - which name appears most often?
- Notoriety - a bit subjective, but perhaps "Eru" (being simpler and easier to spell) would win here.
- Canonicity - do both names appear in The Lord of the Rings? --Morgan 16:54, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
