I know it is no Hobbit song...and even tough I love the whole soundtracks through....this is the one song that will probably always be the most special one fer me. It was the first song I really heard when I first saw FotR and I loved it a lot....

This would have to be my favourite song, too. I lose sense of time and the harshness of reality when I listen to Enya.

This would have to be my favourite song, too. I lose sense of time and the harshness of reality when I listen to Enya. For me it is the other way round....I start travelling in my mind when I listen to it....it has not really something to do with my environment I'm usually in then....I'm just off

I know this is random, but I'm going to tell you anyway. The elven language we hear in Enya's song reminds me of Finnish. mornie utulie ( darkness has come) in Finnish: pimeys tuli ( darkness came) compare the two words: uTULIe - TULI mornie alantie ( darkness has fallen) in Finnish: pimeys lankesi ( darkness fell) aLANtie - LANkesi mornie ( darkness) includes the word stem MOR- meaning "dark, black". Finnish word mörkö ( a ghost, specter, a creature of darkness) includes the word stem MÖRK- which literally translates as "dark". I think it actually makes sense. Mornie -> mor -> mörk -> mörkö -> Mordor.... *suddenly gets up and runs after Frodo* Frodo, wait! You can't go into Mordor for it's the land of great MÖRKÖ! (lol Okay, enough randomness for one night.)

That's very interesting! thanks fer sharing! I think Tolkien new quite a lot about the northern languages...He knew lots of languages in fact! So he surely knew something about finnish too. Once I read that Frodo the name exists in a similar form "Frode" in the northern countries

It think it's actually Norwegian/Swedish. For there are thousands of Frodes in Norway and Sweden. The name comes from the word "fred" ( peace). The name has many variants, Freda (female), Frode (male), Frodo (male), etc. Now that I think of it, the whole thing starts to make sense..... A Hobbit named "Frodo" is the only one who can thwart the plans of the evil lord Sauron, and so bring PEACE to Middle Earth. The name is an omen. ;D

Yeah...your interpretation makes sense Although the encyclopedia of arda says something else on Frodo's name: Which makes sense too in sort of way...altough yer idea is nicer But it's maybe more probable that he took it from the old english

I didn't know about the old English "frod". But now that I do, I'm starting to think Tolkien probably took it from there. Not that it really matters, the both interpretations are very good and I'm glad to know that Frodo's name carries a meaning with it. And not just one! The book of Old Norse names includes the names Frode, Froda, and Frodi. Here's what it says about Frodi: Frodi, male, Scandinavian, meaning: "peace", "the peaceful one". Frodi was also a name of an ancient Scandinavian kingCoolness. ;D *likes Frodo even more for he has an awesome name fit for kings*

lol frodo is a king in a way i guess. not like aragorn or Théoden king, but like a king or prince among hobbits. he did do alot and for his home as well as all that is good in middle earth.

Yeah totally agree...I talked about this to a friends. I said that Aragorn is a very classical hero....ye know going to battle, skilled with the blade, handsome..... But I like Frodo much more because he's a hero in another way.... Ye know what I mean? btw...I've got nothing against Aragorn
