}}'''Sarmo''' was a [[Noldor|Noldorin]] [[Elves|Elf]] and the father of [[Nerdanel]], the wife of [[Fëanor]].<ref name="Feanor">{{S|Feanor}}</ref>
 
A skilled smith in [[Valinor]], Sarmo learned the arts of metal and stone work under the [[Valar|Vala]] [[Aulë]], and for this Sarmo was also called '''''[[Aulendur]]''''' ("Servant of Aulë"). He wore a [[copper]] circlet around his head and was known for his fondness for the metal. Thus he was called [[Urundil]] - 'copper-lover'.<ref name="Name">{{PM|Shibboleth}}, note 61</ref> Sarmo in turn taught Fëanor,<ref name="Feanor"/> the greatest of all Elven craftsmen, who—to Sarmo's regret—used this knowledge to forge the first weapons and armour in Valinor.<ref>{{S|Unrest}}</ref>
 
Sarmo had a beard, which was unusual for an Elf, especially one as young as he. Elves could only grow beards from the third [[Elven_Life_cycle|cycle of their lives]], while Sarmo was an exception in being only early in his second.<ref>{{VT|41b}}, p. 9</ref>
==Etymology==
His devotion to Aulë had earned him the name '''Aulendur''' ("Servant of Aulë")<ref name="Name"/> from ''[[-ndur]]'' ("to serve"). The earlier form of this name was Aulendil, which was later used by [[Sauron]] during his treachery to [[Númenor]]. His other name '''Urundil''' means "Copper-lover"<ref name="Name"/> from ''urun'' ("copper") and ''[[-ndil]]'' ("lover, friend").<ref>{{S|Elements}}</ref> His other [[epessë]] '''Rusco''' means "Fox", a reference to his red-brown hair.{{fact}}
