I know toll-KEEN is right, but I still say toll-KEE-en most of the time because it was my original interpretation. Just like I can't bring myself to say SOW-ron.

&quot;Tolkienist&quot; sounds more like someone who performs Tolkienistic feats, like an &quot;alienist&quot; or a &quot;hypnotist&quot;. There's an air of charlatanism about it. How about &quot;Tolkienite&quot;? &quot;Tolkienism&quot; as a form of government?

Here are a few more terms to describe different Tolkienistic disciplines:
&quot;Tolkienology&quot;
&quot;Tolkieneneology&quot;
&quot;Tolkienography&quot;
&quot;Tolkienophonics&quot;
