On another note, look at Apendix B in RotK, it is noted that Thranduil and Celeborn renamed Mirkwood Eryn Lasgalan. Sounds Irish to me. I'm trying to find an equavalent to
Lasgalan.
Okay, Las means Light in Irish, gael means people, and an is the. A rough translation would be The Light people. Eryn could be a purposefull mispelling of of Erin, which is the old name of Ireland [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] Just a thought.
