Hi Tyler! Quiet follower for a while here. I'm sure you've answered this a million times, but what does Buiamîl mean? Is it a name from Lord of the Rings? Or is that guess way off? Hope you had a happy thanksgiving!
Hello! Thank you! I hope you had a happy thanksgiving as well!
This is actually only the second time I’ve been asked. It is a word adapted from two Sindarin words, which is one of the languages Tolkien devised for the Elves, but I realized just now as I was looking up the exact translations that I languaged wrong. Whoops. It’s intended to mean “To serve, or hold allegiance to, love.” But I just realized it’s improperly translated and I am nerd-shamed. So now I have to find something else.
Anyway, that’s what it is! Thank you for asking!
EDIT: Upon further review, I was not wrong. "Mil-" is the verb "to love." "Mîl" is the noun, "love, affection, kindness." I am no longer nerd-shamed, just tired and forgetting to read.
