Re: New Question!

Prof. Tolkien might very well have gotten the idea for the word Orald from the similar German word. But part of the magic of Middle-Earth is that it is not supposed to be made up. It is supposed to be a translation of actual events that happened in ages past. Suspend your disbelief as the author wanted, forget the modern world, and enjoy the many wonderful 'coincidences' in the spirt they were written.
