Berelach was the only son and the youngest child of Borlas of Pen-arduin,[1] and the grandson of Beregond.[2]
History
Berelach served in the King's ships, and for many years he was stationed at Harlond, but when he was given a high command, he moved to Pelargir and was often long at sea.[1]
In his youth he was a friend of Saelon, who was somehow connected to the "Dark Tree" – the growing threat of evil in Gondor.[2]
Etymology
The name Berelach is in Sindarin, however its meaning is unclear. According to Paul Strack, the name might contain the element lach ("flame").[3]
In the earlier version of the story (in the Manuscript A) , Berelach's name was Berthil instead, before being changed to Bergil,[4] and then finally to Berelach (in the Manuscript B and C).
