Arod is a Sindarin word meaning "noble," appearing on a sword named Hadhafang, in the book The Lord of the Rings: Weapons and Warfare, by Chris Smith, 2003, ISBN 0618391002. It apparently refers to Arwen, whose name means "Noble Lady," and who receives the sword from her father, Elrond. Literature Arwen was the youngest child of Elrond and CelebrÃan; her elder brothers were the twins Elladan and Elrohir. Character overview Elrond was Lord of Rivendell, one of the mighty rulers of old that remained in Middle-earth in its Third Age.
In Smith's book, the word is mistakenly transliterated as "around," the victim of an over-zealous spell-checker (computer or human). The Tengwar inscription on the sword gives us the correct spelling. Note some of the tengwar used in this article may not display properly unless tengwar fonts are installed
