Thuras Eolais

About this phrase

Turas is a masculine noun that means journey, trip, tour. It is lenited here because of the preceding simple preposition ar, meaning on.

Eolas is a masculine noun that means knowledge. It is in the genitive case here (eolais) because it is the second noun in a two-noun cluster.

Thus, ar thuras eolais (on an informational trip; literally, 'on a journey of knowledge').
