And... uh... *blubs a bit* Well, I hadn't planned on providing them, basically just needed them to sound ok and just scanned through Dragonflame for anything conceivably military-related... And, uh, seeing as my Sindarin is weak and my formal swordfighting knowledge weaker still, I don't know the proper terminology and I fudged a bit, and may be grammatically incorrect but... (oh dear... *facepalm* I must have been sleep deprived to think these made sense...) "edmaeth" is "fighting forth", "dÃrnaith megil" is, well, "dÃrnaith" is a military wedge-formation launched over short distances against an unprepared enemy or against a defensive formation on open ground and "megil" is archaic Sindarin for "sword", and "gellui bronad" is "triumphant survival" EepEep! *headdesk* That's what I get for writing this thing in an hour... although I recall reasoning that sometimes military names for things don't make a lick o' sense, so perhaps it could be forgiven... and thankfully nobody has asked the question of why an Uruk would know Sindarin terms... !!
