  • 10:0010:00, 1 March 2024 diff hist −1 Aegnor→‎Etymology: Moved the etymology for Aegnor to the end of the etymology section after the mother and father names, because the etymology description for Aegnor refers to his mother name Aikanáro so the etymology description for Aikanáro should be placed somewhere before
  • 09:5509:55, 1 March 2024 diff hist +367 Aegnor→‎Etymology: If J.R.R. Tolkien wrote that he wanted to disginguish himself from the (somewhat similar) name Angrod and if even Christopher Tolkien does not write that he thinks that this was a mistake of his father, then we should not phrase it like he wanted to disgtinguish himsself from Amrod; we often use suggested translations and components from Eldamo, in addition I could not find any other etymologies that disagreed with Eldamo
  • 09:2409:24, 1 March 2024 diff hist −97 RacismRemoved the speculation that the Haradrim were inspired by Indians, because they used war elephants; the only instance where J.R.R. Tolkien mentioned the use of elephants in battle was on his annotations for the illustrator Pauline Baynes on his son's General Map of Middle-earth where he mentioned that elephants appeared (in battle) in Italy under Pyrrhus, based on his comparisons of latitude and longitude in his annotations Harad is north Africa not India

  • 08:5208:52, 9 February 2024 diff hist +30 HerumorThe standard oder in etymology sections is first the language in which the name is, then the meaning and then the components of the name with their respective meanings, Christopher Tolkien made not statement that the name is a Quenya name, he only made a statement that the name Herumor contains the Quenya word heru, so eldamo is the source for the statement that the name Herumor seems to be Quenya and for its meaning current
