Etymology
This article had: "Aros ([[Doriathrin]] *"redness"; root YAR "blood")" . There doesn't seem to be enough info in the Etymologies for this claim - have I missed some other reference to the name Aros? --Morgan 20:57, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
- "Redness" is never given as a direct translation. Under the root YAR, the connection to blood and the red colour of the river are mentioned. I think the removal of "redness" is legitimate. -- Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 22:41, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
page numbers in references
Are there two different editions of the Lost Tales with different page numbers? In my paperback edition the page numbers are 236 and 244 note 15.--172.70.214.166 12:30, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
- Mine too, both in my Unwin paperback edition and the hardback. That's why I changed Akhorahil's edition. --LorenzoCB 12:34, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
- I thought it was my mistake. Maybe Akhorahil was using his German translations. Is there a convention to write in past tense?--172.70.210.214 12:49, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
- Yes. Please, check the Tolkien Gateway:Manual of Style, as well as the OVOTL sections to keep consistency. These important details apart, you are adding good info! --LorenzoCB 13:01, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
