Tolkien explicitly says an intervention of Eru would be necessary for that reading, and then declines to ever give that reading credence. It seems untenable to assume it when he did not take the...

I would like to say I am categorically against changing the name to Avalonde based on a hunch. Even if it seems odd in meaning, it is not for us to make up new names in this way it seems to me.

Those were finalized before my time with the project, but I believe it is included in the Ruin of Doriath narrative.

I am just dropping in to weigh in on the Haudh question. The last word, Arasaith, is not likely to be proper Sindarin. I will try to lay it out here:

Arasaith was Tolkien's Noldorin update of...

For the Tengwesta Quenderinwa at least, the content was considered valid by Tolkien into the late 1960s, as evidenced by its agreement with linguistic material from that date. There are a few other...
