Talk:Rohanese

From Tolkien Gateway

Latest comment: 7 July 2015 by Mith in topic Rohanese

I have heard recently that Rohirric is supposed to be spelled Rohiric, with one "r", because while Rohirrim has the "r" in both the -rim and the root word, it is not so with Rohiric. Could anyone find any information on that statement? I think I read it in a forum or something. I don't believe Tolkien actually spelled it out in his books. --Narfil Palùrfalas 22:14, 22 June 2006 (EDT)

Helge Fauskanger writes Rohirric at Ardalambion's page about "Various Mannish Tongues". --Earendilyon 04:21, 23 June 2006 (EDT)

It's a mess, unsourced, and very out-of-universe. Also, in light of above discussion: [1] -- Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 14:45, 29 November 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Rohanese

In PE22:159 (c. 1969), Tolkien uses "Rohanese" in the sentence "Eorlingas must be an interpretation (of the 20th C[entury]) of some other name in Rohanese. The real word was þuron (rel[ated] to Elvish tur- ?), þorunahim. [...]" This article notes that his usage in The Rivers and Beacon-hills of Gondor (VT42:8) "is not clear by the context if the word is the name of a language, or simply an adjective." Do others (as I do) think that its usage in PE22:159 leans more towards the "name of a language" nuance? Unweg 02:07, 7 July 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yes. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 08:28, 7 July 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
