Q. Anaxartaron Onyalië pn. “Of the Ents and the Eagles”
The title of an essay written by Tolkien, glossed “Of the Ents and the Eagles”, earlier labeled
Anaxartamel without translation (WJ/340). This name is very difficult to analyze. There is some consensus that
Onyalië might mean “Ent-people”, and that
Anaxartaron looks like the genitive plural of a word *
Anaxarta (“?Eagle”), but this is all guesswork. For further discussion see the following
