What was unique about the Uruk-hai compared to the common Orc
What was unique about the Uruk-hai compared to the common Orc
Oooh! Weren't they stronger, faster, and all around better fighters, plus they didn't feel pain or fear?
Yes, but there was something even more unique about them that they told Aragorn at Helms Deep.
They could function well under the sun. I think what they say is along the lines of "We are Uruk-hai, we fight at day or night. What do we care for the dawn?"
Yes Turin, the Uruk-hai didn't cower under the sun like normal Orcs and Gollum. You get the Pseuco-Silmaril.

Correct again Thorin, the Pseudo-Silmaril is yours.

It is Turin who got the answer Grondy!
Dag-nab-it! I have been double-checking because I have been catching myself making that error this month; I must have missed that one sorry Turin.
Okay then, Turin gets two pretty baubles: one for his previous answer and another for the answer to my last question.
Thorin gets to keep the one I gave him, that's as a reward for catching my mistake.

What oath did F’anor and his sons swear on the summit of T’na
Answer to F’anor's above oath: 'To pursue to the ends of the World any being or creature that withheld a Silmaril from them.' I guess this was too much a softball for those without having the book. 
In what language did 'Nazgul' mean 'Ringwraith'
In what language did 'Nazgul' mean 'Ringwraith'
The Black Speech I think.
Actually, Feanor's oath was more ' to pursue any Vala, Demon, Elf, Dwarf, or Man unborn, creature and any living thing.'
That's without the book, but I wanted to give someone else the opportunity and not hog the threads.
