Fingolfin of the Noldor has just left Hobbiton.

‡The word Warg used in The Hobbit and the L.R. for an evil breed of (demonic) wolves is not supposed to be A-S specifically, and is given prim. Germanic form as representing the noun common to the Northmen of these creatures. -note to draft letter #297 pg381 The Letters of JRR Tolkien
