What about the category Westron words? Should it be "Westron nouns" (which actually exists, with only one article, Aran)? Then there are many Westron names which are now included in the category "Westron words". Maybe we should have a category "Westron names"? (cf. Sindarin nouns, Quenya nouns, Sindarin names, Quenya names,...) --Tik 18:02, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Hmm... I'm not entirely sure if I understand your question(s), but here are some thoughts: the category "[Language] words" is supposed to be the general category containing all words (and subcategories) for its language. So, for example, "Category:Quenya words" has subcategories such as "Category:Quenya nouns", "Category:Quenya adjectives", etc. We currently have a couple of categories called "[Language] names", as you say, and to be honest I'm a bit unsure in some cases how to distinguish it from "[Language] nouns" -- our current name-categories should perhaps be changed to "[Language] proper nouns", as per (recent?) grammar standards, cf. Wikipedia:Proper nouns.--Morgan 16:13, 5 February 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
