Sorry Eruanna. Mithril was called True Silver, but it did not mean that.

The only other name that I know for Mithril is Moria-silver. Is that it?

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Gilraen, I love it that you checked the Downs before unpacking. That just about sums up what being a B-D'er is all about. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
Surely worthy of mention in the "You know your obsessed with the Barrow Downs when ..." thread in the Barrow Downs forum. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

You were 'hotter' with your first answer, but it's not specific enough.

Isn't he one of the members or scholars of The Philippine Tolkien Society? The society is his connection anyway, I found that.

I can't find anything really specific. He was on a New York radio show and answered quite a few Tolkien questions...he's apparently a really big scholar, with a special expertise around Quenya.

Rashbold is a translation of Tolkien. It is explained in HoME IX. It was a 'fictitious' name used when writing the Notion Club Papers.
"The surname of the apparently speechless undergraduate John Jethro Rashbold is a translation of Tolkien (Toll-Kuhn: see letters no. 165 and note 1)."
