tolkienlanguages1-7 Exercise 3: Is Lothlorien "Dream-flower"? ============================================================== Not certain. One source gives "Dreamflower Lorien"; another gives "Lorien of the blossom". Both start from loth "flower" and Lorien, but the two readings treat the name differently. What to check: 1. Tolkien's own published or edited notes on the name (the appendices, Letters, and edited papers in the journals). 2. A dictionary that cites its source, such as Eldamo or Parf Edhellen. 3. Whether the entry covers this form of the name or an earlier one. If the sources still disagree, say so, as this chapter does.
