aka. fili orc-enshield
+++++++++++++++++++
the scene, as i understand it, is exceptionally well-written. fili (in sort of a callback to the scene with the eagles), calls out "thorRIIIIIIN!!!" just as he sees the pale orc veer in for the kill. he picks up the severed arm of an orc which is lying on the ground, swings it up in desperation, effectively blocking the pale orc's blow. and thus, forever after, fili is known as "fili orc-enshield."
this earns him deep respect from his hard-to-please uncle. as well as a hug. kili wipes his boots on the pale orc's glory box. -- maciliel telpemairo

Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."
"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

Okay... here's a real question/challenge - subject: coat of arms
[In reply to]

What do the terms or abbreviations GU and SA mean in regards to coat of arms? I have this sentence: The coat of arms: Per chevron argent and sa., three water bougets, counterchanged. Apparently 'sa' is a term used often in coat of arms but I can't find a definition of it. I find it a lot with 'gu'.
If it helps any, they're talking about a Kitchen family and I find this when I search for Kitchen coat of arms:
and the quote is from a 1915 book.

"sa" means "sable" (black).
can you find "gu" in a quotable context?

http://www.electricscotland.com/...lans/cairney/157.htm
ah... that wasn't a site I think I saw earlier... I kept finding stuff like this:
Abernethy Or, a lion rampant gu. surmounted of a ribbon sa.
Arthur Ou. a chevron between three rests (or Clarions) or.
Barrett Barry of ten per pale ar. and gu. counterchanged.
Barry Ar. three bars gemels gules.
Bisset Az. a bend ar.
Blake Ar. a fret gu.
Brodie Ar. a chevron gu. between three mullets az.
Browne Or an eagle displayed with two heads sa.
Buchan Ar. three lions’ heads erased sa.
Buchanan Or, a lion rampant sa., armed and langued gu. within a double tressure flory-counter-flory of the second.
Burke Or a cross gu., in the dexter canton a lion rampant sa.
Butler Quart.: 1 & 4, Or a chief indented az., 2 & 3, Gu. 3 covered cups or.
Butter Ar. a cross sa. between four human hearts proper (Gormack).
Callendar Sa. a bend between six billets or.
Cameron Gu., three bars or.
But that site defines the abbreviations! Doik. The answer always seems so obvious when I give up and ask for help.
some common abbreviations are: ar. = argent, az. = azure, betw. = between, gu. = gules, quart. = quarterly, sa. = sable,
qu wasn't used in my text but I kept finding it popping up with sa when I was searching and I was curious.
Still.. you've proven my earlier point about 'there ain't a question one can ask....'
thanks.
(now if I could just sort out all the PA Kitchens such that I can track my ancestors... I will be very pleased. PA doesn't like to put its early documents online.)

"gules" = "red."
i figured since sa = sable, gu = red (gules), but i had forgotten how to spell it.
glad to help. : )
personally, i'm rather fond of all the descriptions of how animals can be displayed: rampant, passant, reguardant, etc.
