UK editions.. I'm not up on the publication history though, or what changes occurred when. I just looked at me books & that's what I found - FotR 1st ed text (14th impression 1965) has Hithaiglin - though the word is partly obscured by the illustration (which is why I originally thought it was Hithaeglin) & TT 2nd ed text (4th impression1969) also has Hithaiglin. The earliest paperback I have is from 1976 (again 2nd/4th) which has Hithaiglin. Its Hithaeglir in my 1981 1st/1st hb UT. They're all A&U btw.
