Just a curious little fact: "tata" means "father" in Latin (also in Spanish, Italian, Romanian, etc.). I wonder if that was deliberate or just a coincidence? I don't want to edit the main article since I'm new to the site. Here's a reference: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/tata#Latin

Anyone else agree that this should rather be the page which show up when someone searches for "Tata" (rather than our article on the Elvish word)?--Morgan 18:04, 29 January 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Agreed. --Amroth 18:31, 29 January 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Not mentioned in The Silmarillion?[edit source]

I don't recall this character being part of the Silmarillion Legendarium thus was he originally a draft character in Tolkien's earlier inceptions?

If not, where did he end up if it was Finwe he took the Second host of Elves then to be known as the Noldor?--Mibs 02:49, 21 January 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]
