History

During the Years of the Trees, after most of the Valar had withdrawn completely from Middle-earth and hidden themselves in Aman, Oromë was the last who came to Valinor, and even then he still hunted in the forests of Middle-earth on occasion.[1] He visited Middle-earth during the Sleep of Yavanna, hunting monsters and fell creatures and the shadows fled temporarily until he left.[2]

Thus, he was responsible for finding the Elves when they awoke at Cuiviénen, and was the first to name them the Eldar. Seeking to ensure their safety, Oromë accompanied the Elves from Cuiviénen to Beleriand. Being a powerful huntsman, he was active in the struggles against Morgoth.

Because Oromë was the only Vala who travelled in Middle-earth during the Elder Days, it was believed, even during the Third Age that the wild oxen found near the Sea of Rhun descended from his Kine.[3]

Béma was the name used by the Northmen for Oromë. As the great huntsman and horseman of the Valar, he and his steed Nahar were known to the horse-loving people of Rohan, who claimed that their great horses, the Mearas, had ancestors brought out of the West by Béma himself.[4]

Etymology

The name Oromë is said to be derived from his Valarin name Arōmēz.[5]

His name is translated as "Horn-blowing" and "Sound of Horns".[6]

Other names

Araw ([ˈaraʊ]) was the Sindarin form of the name of the Oromë,[7][8] while its North Sindarin form was Arum.[5]

Tauron was an epithet used by the Sindar for Oromë.[9][10] In the Valaquenta, Tauron is translated as "Lord of Forests".[9] Another translation is "The Forester".[11][10] The language, to which the name pertains, remains non-explicit in Tolkien's texts:

  1. Quenya word? The root of the word could be taure ("great wood") plus the ending -on. The name would thus have the sense "One of forests".[12]
  2. Sindarin word? This would be suggested by its usage among the Sindar and by the Noldorin form it replaced (see below).

Tolkien used at least two earlier forms of the by-name Tauron:

  1. Tavros - the form Tauros replaced - used in such early texts as the Lay of Leithian.[13] The name is Gnomish, defined as "Chief wood fay 'the Blue Spirit of the Woods'".[14][15][note 1]
  2. Tauros - the form Tauron replaced - is a Noldorin word defined in the Etymologies as meaning "Forest-Dread" (roots TÁWAR + GOS).[16]

The name Béma is from the tongue of Rohan (Tolkien was inspired by the Old English word béme "trumpet").[17]

In Eriol's Old English translations, Oromë is referred to as Wáðfréa "Huntinglord", Huntena fréa "Hunting Lord and Lord of Hunters" and Wealdafréa "Lord of Forests". The name Béaming is a translation of Q. Aldaron.[18]
