@ Gil-Estel: Pronounciation is always a problem: Phonetic spelling or comparing with other word, I suggest. I need at first the wordorder, pronouns and a verb, if possible...

Maybe we should open a new topic for each language?

What does "Barrow-Wight Stalker" mean? I know "Barrow" - but it seems not to be the same....

Barrow: un túmulo, un montón de tierra sobre un cadáver, una tumba antigua. Wight: criatura, "pobre hombre". Stalker: acechador, perseguidor, alguien que espera sigiloso a alguien para cazarlo (Sorry, I love it speaking in Spanish xD)

Barrow: Mound of earth over a dead body, some kind of grave. Wight: A living creature, also used as a supernatural being, a Ghost or Witch. Stalker: Someone who prowls around, sneaking to hunt someone or something.

Note: In Spanish, the word for Barrow-Wight is "Tumulario" which is one of my favourite LOTR translated words xD "Tumulario would mean something like "barrow-eer" as in "mountaneer".

Spanish fits very well in this topic. Lo mas probable es que sea "Lingustic  fun!" para hablar un poco espanol.

In german it is something like: Fiend of graves

It is very much like "Barrow-Wight". But in spanish, "tumulario" would mean someone or SOMETHING who lives in the barrows, and it's a lot more misterious, because ¿who the heck would live in the barrows? And you inmediately assume it's some kind of monster grave spirit.

I first knew the creature's name in spanish, and then, when I saw the name in english, it was kinda lame xD
