Terminology
Tolkien devised several constructed languages with terms for types of weapons.
- Sword: Noldorin Sindarin: magl, magol, North Sindarin magor, Quenya: makil, macil, Noldorin Sindarin: crist.
- Dagger, Knife: Noldorin Sindarin: sigil, Quenya: sicil
- Axe: North Sindarin: hathol, Quenya: pelekko, Khuzdul: baruk (construct state: reconstructed singular burk )
- Spear: Quenya: hatal also ehte
- Bow: Noldorin Sindarin: peng also poetically cû ("arch"), Quenya: quinga.
Tolkien also devised terms for specific makes of weapons, like lango (broad sword), eket, ecet (short sword), and lhang (cutlass, sword). Lhang was used for a large two-handed, curved-bladed sword with a long handle used by Elves in the Lord of the Rings film trilogy.
