Borlach was one of the sons of Bór, who entered the service of Maedhros and Maglor, the eldest Sons of Fëanor. He fought in the Nírnaeth Arnoediad, and was faithful to the Noldor, taking a part in the slaying of Ulfang's sons before he was himself slain.[1]
Etymology
It has been suggested that Borlach means "Flaming Hand" in Sindarin;[2] cf. [?]bor + lach.
Other versions of the Legendarium
In the Later Annals of Beleriand and the Grey Annals, the name of the character was Boromir,[3][4] a name later used for Boromir of Ladros.[5][6] The Boromir referred to in the Etymologies (cf. Boromir of Ladros: Etymology) is thus Borlach.[7][8]
