Etymologies, Addenda and Corrigenda (EtyAC)

J.R.R. Tolkien, (editors) Carl Hostetter, Patrick Wynne; written in 1938, first published in 2003-4 (VT45, VT46)

When Christopher Tolkien prepared The Etymologies at the end of the Lost Road (LR/341), his goal was demonstrating the meaning of words within the corresponding written narrative by his father from that period. As such, he did not include all the variations and rejected forms present in the original material.

In Vinyar Tengwar #45 and Vinyar Tengwar #46, Carl Hostetter and Patrick Wynne published a set of Addenda and Corrigenda to The Etymologies including this missing material. It also corrected some errors in the original text, as indicated by the symbol “»»”.

References are by the root element of words, as listed in The Etymologies. These references include relationships to items from The Etymologies as published in The Lost Road where such relations are clear from context.
