Hint: He is normally know by a different name; and N’mo means 'Ordainer, Judge' according to The Silmarillion.
Mandos, the name of the place of his dwelling. He was what Namo says, the Judge.
He is also the Keeper of the Houses of the Dead. So Finow’ gets the Pseudo-Silmaril.

(When I got on there were 350 people on
, I've never seen P-T that busy! )No Mellon, I wasn't looking for Merry's first words when he awoke in the chapter entitled 'The Houses of Healing; those words were uttered when he was sitting on a doorstep still in the streets of Minas Tirith, where Pippin found him. The desired answer is Merry's first words expressed when he awoke after being minister to by Aragorn in the actual Houses of Healing after Aragorn had already ministered to Eowyn and Faramir with athelas. 
Merrys' first words was :"I'm hungry !""What time of the day is it ?"My first answer was
