OrgaladhThe day of the White TreeThe fourth day of the Númenórean week, the name Orgaladh was adapted from the Sindarin usage 'Orgaladhad' ('Day of the Trees', referring to the Two Trees of Valinor). The Númenóreans held the White Tree Telperion in special reverence, and Nimloth, the tree that grew in the King's Court at Armenelos, was its descendant. Hence, they changed the name to Orgaladh ('Day of the Tree', referring to Telperion only). See also...Indexes: About this entry:
