Aeglos (Aiglos)

The spear must surely have been in Gil-galad's possession for some time before the Battle of Dagorlad, and may well have dated back to the First Age or even before. Nevertheless, the Battle is the only situation where the spear explicitly appears.

'Snow-point' is the literal interpretation of the spear's name, but some sources go further and suggest the broader meaning 'icicle'. This might easily be correct, but to complicate matters there's an alternative in the name of a plant that grew in Beleriand, known as aeglos (a name interpreted as 'Snowthorn'). It's possible, then, that the point of Gil-galad's spear represented a thorn of this plant, rather than an icicle.
