Etymology
Borlas is Sindarin and means perhaps "enduring joy", from Bór + glass.[2]
Genealogy
Other versions of the legendarium
In early versions of the legendarium, Borlas was the name (later changed to Borlad) of a son of Bór.[4]
Since the events of The New Shadow is described taking place during the reign of Eldarion and after the death of Elessar, this dating contradicts to the second edition of The Lord of the Rings, where in Appendix B the date of Aragorn's death was ultimately changed by J.R.R. Tolkien from Fo.A. 100 to Fo.A. 120.
