He followed the tradition of his grandfather Ar-Adûnakhôr, and took his King-name in the Adûnaic tongue (the Elvish equivalent is recorded as Tar-Falassion). Ar-Sakalthôr ruled Númenor for [sixty-nine years](../chronicle.html?startyear=3033&startage=2&endyear=3102&endage=2&c=The Reign of King Ar-Sakalthôr). He was succeeded by his son, who took the Sceptre as King Ar-Gimilzôr. Notes 1 The Adûnaic name Sakalthôr is not directly translated, but the Elvish version of the name, Falassion, clearly includes falas, 'coast' or 'shore'. Assuming that Falassion is intended as a direct translation, then it might be taken to mean 'of the coasts', or alternatively as something like 'son of the coast'. Presumably, Sakalthôr carries a similar meaning, though it may not be intended as an exact translation. See also...
