Ehm ... which version of name belongs with which version of the Legendarium?

As far as I can gather from The Shibboleth of Feanor, in the version where one of the twins died in the Shipburning at Losgar, the one who died (remaining the younger twin with the fathername Telufinwë) was Umbarto/Ambarto, and Amrod, was the Sindarin form of Ambarto, the mothername applied to this twin. Subsequently, Tolkien substituted Amarthen, as the Sindarin form of Umbarto. Pityafinwë, 'Little Finwë' was certainly never used for Fëanor's youngest son, since that was the meaning of Telufinwë, 'Last Finwë'. Thus in this version of the Legendarium, Amrod, changed to Amarthen, was the Sindarin name of Ambarto/Umbarto, with the fathername Telufinwë.

Amrod certainly never was the Sindarin version of Pityo, nor was it the name of the twin that survived, and the name Ambarussa was shared by Amrod for a time, not the other way round.

So the article as it stands belongs rather under the title of Amras, or even Amros, with certain corrections to names.
