:) I really don't believe the members of the Editorial Team are
deliberately delaying the publication of material in order to make it
easier for me to keep up with my wordlist updates. In the unlikely case
that they do, their concern for me is of course very touching, but I
must ask them to rather think of our community as a whole and publish
the material as quickly as is practically possible.

Another matter entirely: I have written an article about the various
names of the Dark Lord and Tolkien's differing interpretations of the
name "Sauron":

http://folk.uib.no/hnohf/name.doc

This isn't really a quite official Ardalambion article (initially it
will probably go in a fanzine, and later it may appear as part of a
longer work on the Sauron character), and you will see that I provide a
little background information about Tolkien's language-construction that
is surely unnecessary for most readers of Elfling. Though intended for a
general readership, the article does delve into some linguistic
technicalities, and if the Elflingers have any feedback to give I am
happy to receive it.
