General changes in TftE

[Findegil]

I have taken up {Singollo}[Sindicollo]. But for Orordreth we used the argument that the names must be valid sitll since we have ruler of Gondor called by the same name.

While I see the logic that the fact of the name existing for a lord of Gondor proves it's a valid name, I do not see how it makes it any more applicable to Arothir as a name.

[Findegil]

Well, many (if not all) Truchsess of Gondor were named after 'heros' of the First Age. I would not assume that there was a second charachter call Orodreth after whom Orodreth of Gondor was named. We rather thought that Tolkien if faced by the fact that Orordreth of Gondor existed would have thought that Arothír got the old epithet for the same reasons. (With the Change of the name the charachter does not change, so the feature that warranted the name remains.)

We have to add one change at least:
{Longbeards}[Long-beards] per LotR if the Dwarves of Moria a meant.

Should we then change the other kindreds of the Dwarves to match this? The Fire-beards, Black-locks etc. as opposed to Firebeards and Blacklocks?

[Findegil]

That is a difficult question. But we have used a similar argument of consistency for the ‘Eredlindon’ and ‘Ered-Lindon’ versus ‘Ered Lindon’ case. So I think we should include these changes:
{Blacklocks}[Black-locks] per the use of ‘Long-beards’ in LotR in contrast to ‘Longbeards’.
{Broadbeams}[Broad-beams] per the use of ‘Long-beards’ in LotR in contrast to ‘Longbeards’.
{Firebeards}[Fire-beards] per the use of ‘Long-beards’ in LotR in contrast to ‘Longbeards’.
{Ironfists}[Iron-fists] per the use of ‘Long-beards’ in LotR in contrast to ‘Longbeards’.
{Stiffbeards}[Stiff-beards] per the use of ‘Long-beards’ in LotR in contrast to ‘Longbeards’.
{Stonefoots}[Stone-foots] per the use of ‘Long-beards’ in LotR in contrast to ‘Longbeards’.

A general change found in Tal-Elmar:

{Tal-elmar}[Tal-Elmar] due to the continuation of Tal-Elmar.

Are you sure?

Because in my 50th Anniversary copy of the LOTR, it says:

Durin is the name that the Dwarves used for the eldest of the Seven Fathers of their race, and the ancestor of all the kings of the Longbeards.

- Appendix A, 'Durin's Folk', p. 1,071
