Narsilion

(the song) of the sun and moon

Narsilion (Þ) noun "(the song) of the Sun and Moon"; actually the stems of the words for Sun and Moon compounded (see Narsil above) and a plural genitive ending added (Silm)

narsilion

proper name. (Song) of the Sun and Moon

The tale of the creation of the Sun and the Moon, glossed “Song of the Sun and Moon” (S/99). Like the name Narsil, this name is probably a combination of the primitive roots √NAR and √THIL from which the words for the Sun and Moon were derived (Anar and Isil). The name is in the genitive plural (“of the”), but there is no element corresponding to “Song”, so a more accurate translation would simply be “Of the Sun and Moon”.

Elements

NAR	“fire, fire, [ᴹ√] flame”

Narsilion

In Quenya, Narsil means "Sun and Moon", derived from Anar = "sun" and Isil = "moon", and the –ion suffix indicates the plural genitive. Thus in full Narsilion means "Of the Sun and the Moon".
