Etymology
Since it is claimed, here goes... (change the US/UK if it's bothering the rest of the article, and the ref numbers too)
Arnor was the colloquial name for the North Kingdom. The North Kingdom, as the land was called at its conception, was also known as Turmen Follondiéva in Quenya and Arthor na Forlonnas in Sindarin. These names quickly fell out of use, in favour of Arnor: the Land of the King, so called for the kingship of Elendil, and to seal its precedence over the southern realm. In full, poetic Sindarin, it was called Arannor, which mirrored its Quenya name, Arandórë[1]. Though technically Arandórë would have a Sindarin form Ardor, Tolkien chose Arnor because it sounded better. This linguistic change was ascribed to a later, Mannish development of Sindarin.[2].

- I don't agree. The battle of Fornost can be said to have a very indirect reference "when Angmar fell", but Arnor is not even remotely referenced. If so, you could say that Glorfindel is also indirectly mentioned, as he participated in the Battle. This is not the right logic to go with. Sage 21:43, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
