Well, what exactly would you like us to do, Makar? Add references to the books? Add other creatures?


Estelyn, Makar has also included the Easterlings, certainly the race of men. I wonder if this would lead into a discussion of what constitutes a beast or sentient life in Middle-earth. But I am not sure what is meant by this phrase:

Quote:
There are no book and chapter references yet and the races and subraces of men, vala, and elves are really included.
They aren't listed, so are you trying to include all forms of animate life, Makar? Given that orcs--or some of them--are twisted elves, it becomes difficult to define them as beasts without including unfallen elves also, doesn't it?
