I was curious about the in-universe etymology of their names:
Boro-: Derived from the Sindarin word boron, meaning "steadfast", "trusty man", or "faithful vassal".
Fara-: Derived from the Elvish root far-, meaning "sufficent" or adequate".
-mir: Derived from the Quenya word mírë (or Sindarin mîr), meaning "jewel", "precious thing", or "treasure"
Ouch.
Oof...
THIS MY SON OF BELOVED BORON WOULD HAVE KICKED YOUR ELVISH ASS
