In what follows:
"dh" stands for the sound "th" in 'the',
"th" stands for the sound "th" in 'thief',
"ch" stands for the sound of a stressed "h" in 'hack'.

I read in a magazine fans of Tolkien were designated as 'tolkiendili'! Not only does it sound nice, but it fits into the M-E world. What do you think of it?

I hate to do this, but it's one of the few things I know: it's Isildur & Anárion. These 2 were successively the heirs of Gondor & Arnor. Aragorn is a descendant of Isildur.
