| May 30, 2022 at 19:53 | comment | added | WiZΔRD | @DavidW Thank you for your response and great examples! I agree with your rebuttal and anticipated the possibility of keeping the name as is (hence the first of three proposed possibilities in my question); I only know just enough to get confused. The particular thing that threw me was learning that Minas Morgul, formerly Minas Ithil, was also called Dushgoi--so I wondered if the non-Sindarin-speaking commonfolk continued to call the Pelennor Fields by its Sindarin name or if they opted for a different name, Westron or otherwise. Perhaps there is a better way I could phrase my question? | |
