Thank you for the link.

Rog eldarissa name is said to be Rōka. It is also said that he is 'lord of thlim gothodrum', traduced by eldarissa Kosartami.

We must notice that in the Early Chart of Names (seemingly contemporary) appear : RAUK(I) demons Rôg(i)
MALKARAUKI fire-demons Balrogs
The qenya forms tend to show elements rôg and rog are not connected etymologically (or at least not closely).
Moreover, in the Gnomish Lexicon, in addition of the entry rôg 'doughty, strong', there is en unglossed entry rog. And in the early noldorin compositions (word-lists, texts, grammars…) forms in –(r)og (or more generally in –g) are omnipresent (and are still present in later sindarin : gorog in Q&E).

I am a fervent upholder of the absolute respect of Tolkien invented languages (some say I am rigid and obdurate ^^).
