Glad we're agreed. If I get a chance tomorrow I'll go through and update the list of names we're using in the 'General Changes in TftE' thread. |

Well, we don't know when Tolkien wrote the 'Maedron' note; nor do we know when he wrote, 'Most of this fails' on the manuscript of 'Ros'. It seems to me perfectly plausible that the 'Maedron' note... |

I don't deny that 'Maedron' is valid Sindarin (as is shown by the names you quote). Rather, the twofold question is: 1. Was the change of 'Maedros' to 'Maedron' motivated by the elimination of... |

I wanted to bring this thread back up because it seems to me that the names of Feanor's two eldest sons were never resolved. For my part, I am still inclined, as I was a few years ago, to go with... |

There are really three distinct issues with respect to the name 'Maedhros': 1. dh vs. ð - This is entirely an orthographic issue, and it was this that we discussed in the General Changes thread. ... |

Welcome to the project, aravanesse! I think you are right - in any case, the Shibboleth is certainly later than LQ2. Unless we can find another instance of the name 'Amras' in the late writings,... |

Re-reading this thread I noticed something - in note 65 to the "Shibboleth", it is stated that in a note associated with the text, the Sindarization of "Ambarussa" is given as "Amros" rather than... |

That is an excellent point that I never would have caught. One could argue that the presence of the name "Orodreth" in LotR makes the change to "Arothir" a violation of principle 1 - that the... |
