In the novels it is always represented by s had for themselves. Even these terms were translated in the book: "hobbit" is said to derive from the Anglo-Saxon word Holbytla, or hole-builder. The only other Rohirric given is the element "lô–"/"loh–" corresponding to Anglo-Saxon "éo", horse, and the derived names ''Lôgrad'' for '' Horse-Mark '', and ''Lohtûr'' for '' Éothéod '', horse-people, or horse-land. All names beginning with Éo– are actually names beginning with Lô– or Loh–, but the real forms of element "tur–" also present in names like Turgon , with meaning power/mastery (i.e. King). The languages of the Kingdom Of Rhovanion , Esgaroth and Dale (often called Dalish or Dale-ish) were related to Rohirric. ROHIRRIC, ROHIRIAN, OR ROHANESE? While Tolkien referred to the language of the Rohirrim as "Rohan" or "Rohanese", the term "Rohirric", coined by Robert Foster , the author of The Complete Guide To Middle-earth , is far more commonly used. "Rohirian" is an alternative form that would parallel forms like "Telerian" (for the language of the Teleri ) that ''were'' used by Tolkien. SEE ALSO |
