Welcome fair sorceress!
Sa intzeleg k nickul tau deriva de la masculinul Olorin sau ma inshel io' amarnic ?

sorry fair Olorin dar nu ...desi se pare ca au aceiasi radacina :o

GANDALF Olórin (his name in Valinor, derived from a stem meaning "dream" - not an actual translation of "Gandalf", meaning "Elf of the Wand", a name he was given by people who did not know that he was actually a Maia.) -LotR:391, UT:396 cf. 391

DREAM (noun) olor, olórë, lor; DREAMY olosta, olórëa -LOS, LT1:259, LotR:488 cf. Letters:308, UT:396
