And, IIRC, Mormegil means 'Black Blade' or something like that. [img]smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]Indeed it means ''The Black Blade''

An other Quote out of the Silmarilion:

Mormegil: The Black Blade, Name that was given at Túrin as leader of the army of Nargothrond.

People should ask thereself what is Nargothrond then?

Nargothrond: The great under ground fortress along side the great river of Narog, Raised/Made (?) by Finrod Felagund and Destroyed by Glaurung; also the realm Nargothrond that was located east and west of Narog.

My last and final add up:

Glaurung: The first of the Morgoth Dragons, Also called The Father of the Dragons. (Killed by Túrin in the Cabed-en-Aras)
