tolkienlanguages1-9 Exercise 2: A Mislabelled Word =================================================== What could be wrong: the Etymologies was written in the 1930s and reflects an earlier stage (the old "Noldorin") than The Lord of the Rings. A word listed there may not be valid Sindarin of the later stage; it may have been changed or dropped. What to check: 1. Which stage the entry belongs to (Etymologies, later notes, or The Lord of the Rings). 2. Whether an editor's note or a dictionary such as Eldamo says it carried over into Sindarin. 3. Whether Tolkien used the word in anything published in his lifetime.
