So MILDOR is "Wine-land" - interesting! I didn't see any discussion of this yet, though there's so much to catch up on from the past few months. I haven't seen any discussion of linguistic/script material from The Art of the Lord of the Rings either, though I'm waiting for my copy to arrive now that I could go online again to buy it. The Gondorian place-name Haeran was mentioned on Facebook, but aside that, I haven't seen anyone go over the linguistic material in Hammond & Scull's new publication. I'll write up a summary once I have the book (if no one beats me to it). ;)

Nice! There is also another indication that Enedwaith should have been Enedhwaith (as indicated in VT42/20), and that the proper Sindarin word for "middle" was enedh.

On a side note, this is the first time I notice Tolkien speaks of camels being possible in Harad, although as far as I know they are never mentioned in LotR or UT.
Incidentally, early Qenya had a word for them (ulun).
