FG-TG-12: Okay, I agree to remove the philological passages. Maybe we should add here only the save information that both names were Quenay:
Quote:
In these days came to pass the fulfilment of the time of the desire of the Valar and the hope of the Eldalië, for in great love Idril bore to Tuor a son FG-TG-11.5 and he was called Eärendil, <Shibboleth 'sea-lover'>. FG-TG-12 {Now thereto there are many interpretations both among Elves and Men, but belike it was a name wrought of some secret tongue among the Gondothlim and that has perished with them from the dwellings of the Earth.}<Shibboleth He had this name as father-name, and as mother-name he was called Ardamírë,> <Shibboleth 'Jewel of the World'>. <Shibboleth His names were{, however,}both given in Quenya.>
