The Silmarillion Akallabêth The Adûnaic name for Vingilot, the ship in which Eärendil sailed to Valinor, and in which he later sailed the pathways of the sky. By extension, it was also used by the Númenóreans to refer to the brilliant Star of Eärendil in the sky, as in the reference above. The name Rothinzil is an exact translation of the Elvish Vingilot, with both words meaning 'Foam-flower'. The Adûnaic word inzil, 'flower', is seen in various other names besides this one, include Inziladûn and Inzilbêth. Notes 1 I 534 is the year in which Eärendil first set sail aboard Rothinzil from the Havens of Sirion. This is therefore the latest possible date on which the ship might have been built, but in principle Rothinzil might have been constructed before this date. Accounts of Eärendil's journey, however, tend to move directly from the building of the ship to its setting out, which would seem to imply that there was little or no delay in the launching of the vessel.
