Re: Orcish Fëar

One must remember that LOTR and HOBBIT are techincally 'translations'.
See Appendix F (II) and HOBBIT Prologue. This is why orc/orcs is used (as it also has a phonetic similarity to orch/yrch) as it also means Demon.

Good point indeed. That's why translating JRRT into Georgian I used kaji instead of goblin, but preserved orc; as well as troll is replaced with devi and so on. Still, that reminds me that I am in great need of book on nomenclature, and Shippey's works too.

Anyone knowing the link to those in a form of e-text, or a site where those can be ordered, please post ir here. thx
