See, it's an issue. Gilthalion said TOLL-keen (if I read his post right). H-I says toll-KEEN, as does the BBC dramatization of LotR. I say TOLL-kin or TOLL-kee-in. Oh well.

Btw, the dumbest JRRT mispronunciation I ever heard is in the BBC dramatization of The Hobbit, in which Gollum is accented 2d syllable -- ga-LOOM. I swear to God.
