Night in Hollin  by Nancy Brooke

Tiro = (Sindarin) Guard!

menel berio men  = (Sindarin) Heaven protect us

Govadhechuir = (Sindarin) Govad meaning ‘to meet,’ or ‘walk together’ + echuir, the season Spring, so a Spring Dance.

Tuilérë:  from the Enclypedia of Arda (http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/): “One of several feast-days that appeared in the calendars of Gondor, Tuilérë lay between the months of Súlimë and Víressë, and marked the beginning of spring.”

Víressë:  as per the Enclypedia of Arda:  “the fourth month of the year, according to the Stewards' Reckoning of Gondor, following the spring feast-day of Tuilérë. On a modern calendar, Víressë ran between 24 March and 22 April.”
