Great sites Lalaith! Very informative.
However, as for the topic, I don't think Tolkien ever intended to state the names of the Dwarves ever in any real detail unless he absolutely needed to. The dwarves were always set up to be "the dark peoples" of Arda, you know. With so much information on the other peoples of Middle Earth i think that it was necessary for Tolkien to give us a group of people to have to guess about. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Maybe I'm just really ignorant on this subject?
