<p>70.239.94.220: /* Oversight */ Letter 190</p> <hr /> <div>{{expansion}}&lt;!-- use outside Hooker's texts --&gt;<br /> '''Tolkiennymy''' is a term coined by [[Mark T. Hooker]]. It refers to the lexicological study of place and person's names derived from first world languages.<br /> <br /> ==Oversight==<br /> As a sub section of [[Tolkien linguistics]] in general, the word ''Tolkiennymy'' is used to categorize studies into Tolkien's use of existing languages. One of the most important texts is Tolkien's own ''[[Nomenclature]]'', which grew out of Tolkien's concerns about the Dutch translation of ''The Lord of the Rings'', as expressed in Letter 190, in which he says that the the map of The Shire &quot;is, of course, based on some acquaintance with English toponymical history.&quot; One of the goals of ''Tolkiennymy'' is to provide readers with an acquaintance with the history of English toponyms used in Tolkien's works.<br /> <br /> ==Etymology==<br /> The word is formed on an analogy of ''[[wikipedia:Toponymy|toponymy]]'', the lexicological study of place names.<br /> <br /> {{References}}<br /> * [[Mark T.
