Lugburz,

That link to Geography might well be very technical, but quess what I found there. The word 'hamada' means 'desert, bedrock'. Now, remembering what "Harad" is in LOTR, I am even more intrigued by Tolkien's work with language. Unexpected bonus! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Stephanos,

Thanks for that Middle Earth Timeline. That's a good site for several reasons. I would add the Barrow Downs' very own resource here:

Barrow-Downs' Chronology of Middle Earth

PS. Yes, 'substantive' would have had a preferable connotation [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] , but that source of mine didn't use it! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Cimmerian,

Thanks for your clarification. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
