If it using the -iad really turns Doriath --> daoriad, then I vote no, for any iad changes as I see this as already a fixed element in my LotR index Doriath appears 2X, so I see it as yet another case [ like Celboern as teleri] of JRRT forgetting/ not considering the textual ramifications. [and ... just doriad sounds lame]
So I guess I am voting no for any iath [--> iad changes [ Echoriath, Doriath, etc all should stay -iath]

As for the Legolas change somewhere way back in the jallanite era we covered it pretty intensly w/ out [ in my opinion resolution] I was of the opinion that like mechanical dragons and scores of balrogs, Legolas greenleaf would not have lasted, so any feasible and justifiable name change was an improvement. I met some resistance on that, but it was left an resolved issue. as for the actual justifying it linguistically, perhaps Aiwendil or Antoine can explain, I am dashing off for now, but if it remains un-answered till tonight I wll try and dig it up. BoLT Fog has some good info in the back notes if I recall.

I see your point about greenleaf = redundancy, but Ido not think L. greenleaf appearing in BoLT has anything to do w/ CRT editorializing. perhaps I misunderstand.

btw Tirned it is great to have another activemember here, W/ aiwendil, yourself, antoine and Maedhros [all recently invoved] we have a good nucleus to work with. [sorry if I forgot anyone!]

as for the orc/k thing we were close to having a member poll before, and unless there is an overwhelming consensus either way we should do it up on the TftE forum.
