Quite from left field: Tolkien was apparently unable to decide what to name things, as EVERYTHING he mentions in the Silmarillion has AT LEAST two names, most have three or four at least. Yes, language is all nice and peachy, but for crying out loud!!! That just annoys me. Just like how those platform thingies when the Fellowship comes to Lothlorien has to be given three names right off the bat, one of which was flet.
