Summary
| Description |
English: Tolkien wrote in The Two Towers that the name Orthanc had 2 meanings, 'Mount Fang' in Sindarin and "in the language of the Mark of old", which in the fiction means Rohirric, 'Cunning mind'. However, Orthanc actually does mean "cunning thought" in Old English, so the name would remarkably have to be a homonym and synonym between Rohirric and Old English. Scholars including Robert Foster and Dimitra Fimi consider this an error on Tolkien's part. |
