Salmar (Q, pron. [ˈsalmar]) was a Maia serving Ulmo. He followed him to Arda, and made the Ulumúri for his master, the great conches which produce the music of the sea.

Other versions of the legendarium

In earlier conceptions of the legendarium Salmar is often called by the title Noldorin, and sometimes Lirillo. He was mentioned to be the brother of Ómar.

Etymology

The Q(u)enya name Salmar is derived from salma (“lyre, small harp”). Lirillo is a Qenya name meaning “Valu of the Song” (containing either glîr “a song, poem” or lir- “sing” + masculine ending -illo).
