I believe the same translator did Lord of the Rings and rendering Boromir as Bordoni of course caused the same sort of problems due to confusion with the capital city. You would have thought he would have learned his lesson.

I should warn you that the original has eagles not the giant Kwotes... and substituting swarfega for waybread or lembas was not fortuitous either.
