The name was than skipped because it means 'revenge' and as the Belegost dwarves were taken out of the fight in Menegroth the reference for the name was lost.

For me that means when we take the Belegost Dwarves back into the fight, the name is back 'Bodruith' is back as well.

I believe that the etymology of the term bodruith ("revenge") was struck through by Tolkien, as per Parma Eldalamberon 11, p. 23.

However, the term (also meaning "revenge") later appears in the 'Noldorin Word-lists' in PE 13, p. 139.
