{Longbeards}[Long-beards] per LotR if the Dwarves of Moria a meant. I am not sure about this, but I think it is longstanding general change, that I took up without lookking up the source. I will compare some editions of LotR later and come up with a proposal. Mostlikley the 50th-Aniversary edition will rule.

'c' for 'k' in evish names: It is clear that we are systematic with this change than Tolkien ever has been (or could be, due to his way to write and work with manuscripts). If any name strics you as 'resisting' change, meaning that there is never found an example of it writen with 'c' or some good argument why it would not be changed to 'c' like in 'orkish' we could take that name out.

Respectfully
