Aiya a mae govannen White Lady,

It is good to see you here at the Barrow-Downs and thank you for finding that passage for me.

Elrian,

The Beornings ARE the descendants of Beorn, hence the name. Why would a race be named after a later member of said race? Beorn is related to the ancestors of Eorl, the men of Rhovanion. There is a bit about these people in the Appendixes following the Return of the King. I'd take a look in there.
