<br />
He coined the term ''Tolkiennymy''<ref>http://www.lotrplaza.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=234018&PID=7052966</ref> to describe the study of Tolkien’s use of names from existing languages. This branch of study examines the etymologies (origins) of names such as [[Bilbo]], [[Boffin Family | Boffin]], [[The Yale]], and [[Tom Bombadil]].<br />
