Are we done with Mr Thingol? Shall we move onto something else? I will repeat that I think it will be a lot more fruitful looking in Rohirric and Westron than the Elvish languages, as any Elvish-English connection is probably going to be coincidental (except perhaps Eldar-Elder).
I'm rereading UT, which has a lot on how Rohiriric words are related to Anglo-Saxon.
Also, has anybody read 'The Ring of Words: Tolkien and the Oxford English Dictionary' - apparently a good source for the linguistically-minded.
