Names of The Nazguls

[Legolas]

It is not *anywhere" mentioned that the lieutenant of Minas Morgul would be a Nazgûl, thus *it is* likely that he would be of the same race as the lieutenant of Barad-dûr, the "Mouth of Sauron".

You might also note that Khamûl is the Lieutenant of Dol Guldur.

Now you see the problem.

One lt. is a Ringwraith, one is a corrupted man (but not a Ringwraith), and one's race is not given. This is the conclusion of every Gothmog discussion that comes about. I think he's a man on account of Tolkien not stating he was a Nazgul, but that's all the basis I have. Search to see more - this has been done quite a few times.
