Talk:Tuor

Etymology

Linguistics isn't by strong suit, so I wouldn't mind some guidance on this section. I couldn't find any explicit etymologies of Tuor given by Tolkien in the Letters, Silmarillion or UT, nor could I find any elements of it in the Silmarillion's appendix. So all the information comes from The Etymologies in HoME and I don't know how to treat that in terms of canon. —Aulë the Smith ^(Tk·Cb) 12:37, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Oh, here are the two relevant entries from HoMe. I'm not sure that the section as it currently stands is using them properly:

GOR- violence, impetus, haste. Q orme haste, violence, wrath; orna hasty. N gormh, gorf impetus, vigour; gorn impetuous. [Apart from the removal of the form gormh this original entry was retained, with these additions:] Cf. Celegorn [KYELEK]; and cf. Huor, Tuor: Khōgore [KHŌ-N], Tūgore [TUG].

TUG- *tūgu: Q tuo; ON túgo, N tû; Ilk. tûgh, tû; muscle, sinew; vigour, physical strength. Cf. name Tuor (older tūghor = tū-gor 'strength vigour', see :GOR).

So to recap, my questions are a) how does The Etymologies stand canonically? and b) is the information above currently being used accurately in the "etymology" section"? —Aulë the Smith ^(Tk·Cb) 12:47, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
