Bindbole Wood: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 13:04, 9 October 2014

Bindbole Wood was a small wood in the southern part of the Northfarthing in the Shire.^[1]

The name appears in the map of the Shire, but the letter o in the 1954 edition was not very clear; thus the name has been rendered Bindbale in many later maps (e.g. by Barbara Strachey and Karen Wynn Fonstad), and elsewhere, like in Robert Foster's The Complete Guide to Middle-earth (s.v. Bindbale).

Even Tolkien himself referred to Bindbale in a manuscript note when he was preparing the document later known as Nomenclature.^[2]

The name presumably contains bole "trunk of a tree".^[3]
