| Â | Entmoot - The Silmarillion Ch 14: Of Beleriand and Its Realms |
 | | To the west of Thangorodrim lay Hisilómë, the Land of Mist, for so it was named by the Noldor in their own tongue because of the clouds that Morgoth sent thither during their first encampment; Hithlum it became in the tongue of the Sindar that dwelt in those regions. | | | Fingolfin and Fingon his son held Hithlum, and the most part of Fingolfin's folk dwelt in Mithrim about the shores of the great lake; to Fingon was assigned Dor-lómin, that lay to the west of the Mountains of Mithrim. | | | Links to the maps of Beleriand from the published Silmarillion may be handy: |

| | So the Noldorin forms, brought to Middle-earth at the beginning of the First Age of the Sun and Moon, and spoken so predominantly in Beleriand, naturally carried over to the later 'common Elven' - Sindarin - spoken throughout Middle-earth by the Third Age. | | | By the time that The Lord of the Rings was published, all of these distinctions had fairly much melded by late in the Third Age into Sindarin, with the ancient High Elven - or Quenya - surviving as a sort of historical 'root' [much the same as Latin today relates to the Romance languages.] | | | The dynamics of this mix might be best demonstrated in the entry in the Silmarillion Dictionary section, Magor, an early Adan: |

Another motivation was his rejection of modern England. | | | Tolkien also loved to draw, although he was never good at drawing realistic figures. | | | He rarely watched a film, busied himself with the early English dialects of the West Midlands, and enjoyed the company of other professors. |

| | The following passages from TB — chapter 14 “Of Beleriand and Its Realms” — give indications of distances, all consistent with A. | | | In what follows I shall try to achieve a concordance between two regions: Beleriand and adjacent lands on one hand, and the north-west of Middle-earth after the drowning of Beleriand (mainly Eriador) on the other. | | | The same squares, although without any clue about scale, are also present and in good agreement on the first “Silmarillion” map in SoMe, as well as the latter’s west- and eastward extensions. |

| Â | The Grey Havens - Middle-earth: Westron - the Common Speech |
| | Tolkien explains: "The language represented in this history by English was the Westron or 'Common Speech' of the West-lands of Middle-earth in the Third Age. | | | It was in origin the language of those whom the Eldar called the Atani or Edain, 'Fathers of Men', being especially the people of the Three Houses of the Elf-friends who came west into Beleriand in the First Age". | | | In the Second Age, the Adûnaic of Númenor was spoken in the forts and havens that the Númenóreans maintained upon the coast of Middle-earth, "and mingled with many words of the languages of lesser men it became a Common Speech that spread thence along the coasts among all that had dealings with Westernesse" (Appendix F). |

| Â | Do Balrogs have wings, and can they fly? (The Truth About Balrogs, Vol. 6) |
| | As with the first passage the argument is that this should be read to say that the Balrog flew away from Thangorodrim and leave it at that. | | | The passage in The Silmarillion was apparently edited from the original text given in Morgoth's Ring, though it is possible that there was another closely related version of the passage used in The Silmarillion. | | | The reference to 'cavalry' is due to early accounts where the Balrogs rode into battle on dragons. |

| | It was unusual in that, for some nine miles of its middle course, it flowed underground from the wide, enchanted marshland of Aelin-uial beneath the high land known as the Andram. | | | The greatest of the rivers of Beleriand, the Sirion flowed some 850 miles from its source in the cold highlands of the Ered Wethrin to its mighty delta on the Bay of Balar. | | | The Sirion was regarded as the border between East and West Beleriand. |
