OK as we jumped intp this one a bit earlier than Aiwendil wished, I propose:

1- that we go ahead and use the vote we come up with, but only provisionally. That is until a such time as we vote on changes to effect the entirety of "Translations from the Elvish".

2- that expires on the same day as the Legolas vote [ Oh I just found an old interview w/ TOlkien in a fanzine dated 4/1/71 wherein he emphatically states that as Glorfindel and Legolas both appear in Gondolin and later M-E that he decided to Have Glorifindel be one and the smae but that Legolas' name would change to................................................ .................................................. .................................................. .....Legolust!

there that was my fun for the day

I will vote on this soon, I just want to re-read the quote of JRRT's on his orkish intentions.

I am leaning infavor of orc, unless he specifically said he wanted LotR to remain orc and Silm Ork.
