                              I THE GENEALOGIES.                             
                                                                            
 These  belong  essentially  with  the  earliest  Annals  of  Beleriand,  but
 though I knew of their existence (since they are referred to in the  List of
 Names)  I  presumed  them  lost,  and  only  recently discovered  this small
 manuscript,  after  the  work  on  Vol.  IV  was  completed. It  consists of
 genealogical  tables  of  the  Elvish princes,  of the  three houses  of the
 Fathers of Men,  and of  the houses  of the  Eastern Men.  There is  no need
 to reproduce these tables, but only to mention certain details that  are not
 found elsewhere. In the first of them are some additional persons:          
  Elwe,  Lord  of  the  Teleri (who  is called  'Lord of  Ships'), has  a son
 Elulindo;                                                                   
  Fingon has  a son  Findobar (this  name, simply  as a  name, occurs  in the
 Etymologies under the stems PHIN (written Findabar) and MBAR);              
  Orodreth, in addition to his son Halmir, has a younger son Orodlin.        
  The  genealogies  of  Men  have  dates  of  birth and  death. These  were a
 good deal emended, changing them by a  year or  two, but  in the  result are
 almost  exactly  as  in  the  earlier  version  of AB  i. The  following are
 however  not  given in  the Annals  in any  version (if  they had  been they
 would of course have been extended in two  steps, first  by a  hundred years
 and then by two hundred years).                                             
  Elboron  son  of  Dior  born  192;  Elbereth  his  brother  born  195  (they
 were thus fourteen and eleven years old at their deaths, AB 2 annal 306);
  Hurin died in '? 200' (in annal zoo in AB i, repeated in AB 2, 'of his fate
 no certain tidings are known');                                             
  Ulfand  the  Swart  born  100,  died  170;  Uldor  the Accursed  born 125,
 Ulfast born 128, Ulwar born 130;                                           
  Bor   the  Faithful   born  120;   Borlas  born   143;  Boromir   born  145;
 Borthandos born 147.                                                        
  In  addition  to  the  genealogical  tables there  is also  a table  of the
 divisions of  the Qendi  which is  almost the  same as  that given  with the
 lhammas  on p.  197, and  together with  this table  is a  list of  the many
 names  by which  the Lindar,  Noldor, and  Teleri were  known. This  list is
 a first form of that in QS $29 (note to the text), and  all the  names found
 here are found also in the longer list in QS; but there  are here  also many
 Elvish names which (apart from Soloneldi) are not found in QS:              
  The   Lindar   are   named   also   Tarqendi  'High-elves',   Vanimor  'the
 Beautiful' [> Irimor 'the Fair Ones'], and Ninqendi 'White-elves';          
  The   Noldor  are   named  also   Nurqendi  Deep-elves,   Ainimor  [written
 above: Istimor] 'the Wise', and Kuluqendi 'Golden-elves',                   
  The   Teleri   are   named   also   Falmarindi   'Foam-riders',   Soloneldi
 'Musicians of the shore', and Veaneldar 'Sea-elves'.                        
  The name Vanimor is used in A V 2 of  the lesser  spirits of  Valarin race,

 among  whom  were  'later  numbered'  also  the  Valarindi,  the   Children  of
 the  Valar  (pp.  110, 121);  the latter  are the  Vanimor in  the Etymologies,
 stem   BAN,   but   under   the   negative   stems   UGU,   UMU  the   name  is
 translated   'fair   folk   =   (men   and)   elves'.   Some  other   of  these
 names   also   appear   in   the    Etymologies:   Tarqendi    (TA),   Nurqendi
 (NU),  Istimor  (is),   Falmarindi  (PHAL),   Soloneldi  (SOL).   With  Irimor
 cf. Irima ye Numenor in The Lost Road (p. 72), and see stem ID.                
                                                                               
                              II. THE LIST OF NAMES.                             
                                                                               
 During  the  1930S  my  father  began the  task of  making an  alphabetic list,
 with definitions, of  all the  names in  his works  concerned with  the legends
 of the Elder Days. A list of sources is attached to this list, and  the entries
 are  accompanied  by  full  references  to  sources  (by page-number  or annal-
 date) - but  these references  are almost  entirely confined  to the  Annals of
 Beleriand and the Genealogies: the only  others are  a few  to the  first pages
 of  the  Qenta  Noldorinwa  (Q)  and two  to the  Map. In  the list  of sources
 'Annals of Beleriand' and 'Genealogies'  are marked  with a  tick; it  is clear
 then  that  my  father  had  indexed  these  and  made  a  beginning on  Q when
 he stopped.                                                                    
   As  the  List  of Names  was originally  written the  references are  only to
 the  first  version  of  AB  i  (but  include  additions  made  to   that  text
 subsequently and given in the notes in I V. 310 - 13). But after the list was
 abandoned  as  a  methodical  work  of  reference  my father  added to  it more
 haphazardly,  without  references,  and  these  later  additions  show  use  of
 the  second  version of  AB i,  as well  as some  names that  do not  appear in
 any of the texts; entries were also substantially modified and extended.       
   The  majority  of  the  entries  do  not  in  fact  add  anything   in  their
 definitions to what is available in the  sources, and  it is  quite unnecessary
 to  give  the  work  in full.  There follows  here a  small selection  from the
 material, this  being restricted  to those  entries or  parts of  entries which
 have  some  particular  feature  of  interest   (mostly  concerning   names  or
 name-forms).                                                                   
                                                                               
   Aldaron  The  Noldorin  equivalent  is  given  as  Galadon, which  does not
   appear elsewhere.                                                            
 Balrog  is  said  to  be  an   Orc-word  with   no  pure   Qenya  equivalent:
   'borrowed   Malaroko-';   contrast  the   Etymologies,  stems   NCWAL,  RUK.
   Beleriand  'Originally  land  about  southern  Sirion,  named  by  the  Elves
   of  the  Havens  from  Cape  Balar,  and  Bay  of  Balar  into  which  Sirion
   flowed;  extended  to  all  lands  south   of  Hithlum   and  Taur-na-Danion,
   and   west  of   Eredlindon.  Its   southern  borders   undefined.  Sometimes
   includes  Doriath  and  Ossiriand.'  With  this  statement  of the  extent of
   Beleriand  cf.  QS  $ 108;  and with  the derivation  of the  name Beleriand
   from  Cape  Balar,  Bay  of  Balar, cf.  the Etymologies,  stem BAL.  This is

 the first occurrence of Cape Balar, which was however marked in on              
 the second Map as originally drawn and lettered.                                
 Beren   The  surnames   of  Beren   were  first   given  as   Mablosgen  'Empty-
 handed'   and   Ermabuin   'One-handed'   (as   in   AB   z   annal   232).  The
 former   was   changed   to   Mablothren  and   then  to   Camlost  (and   in  a
 separate  entry  Mablosgen  >  Mablost);  the  latter   to  Erchamui   and  then
 to Erchamion  (again  as  in  AB  z,  note  22).  From  the   Etymologies  (stems
 KAB,  MAP)  it  appears  that  the  names  containing   the  element   mab  are
 Ilkorin   (Doriathrin)   names,   while   those   containing   cam,   cham   are
 Noldorin.                                                                       
 Cinderion   'Gnomish   name   =   Hither   Lands'.   This   name  has   no  ref-
 erence to a source;  it is  found nowhere  else, nor  any form  at all  like it.
 Cristhorn  was  emended  first  to  Cil-thorn   and  then   to  Cil-thor(o)ndor,
 with   the   definition  'Eagle-cleft   of  Thorondor   King  of   Eagles'.  The
 forms  Cilthoron   and  Cilthorondor   are  found   in  the   Etymologies  (stem
 KIL), as also is Cristhoron (KIRIS).                                          
 Dagor   Delothrin   'The   Last   Battle,  "the   Terrible  Battle",   in  which
 Fionwe  overcame  Morgoth.'  The  reference  given  is  to   AB  x   annal  250,
 where  however  no  Elvish  name  is   found.  In   a  cross-reference   in  the
 list to the Last Battle it is called also 'the Long Battle' (for it lasted fifty
 years).                                                                         
 Dagor Nirnaith is given as a name of the Battle of Unnumbered Tears.             
 Dark-elves  'Translation  of   Moreldar  (also   called  Ilkorindi,   those  who
 came  not  to  Kor),  the  name  of  all  the   Elves  who   remained  wandering
 in   the  Hither   Lands...'  The   term  Moreldar   is  not   found  elsewhere.
 The  nomenclature  here  is  of  course  that  of  Q  ($2),  where Eldar  = 'all
 Elves'  and  the  Ilkorindi  or  Dark-elves  are  those  who  were  lost  on the
 Great March.                                                                    
 Bor-deloth,   or   Dor-na-Daideloth   '"Land   of   Dread"   or  "Land   of  the
 Shadow   of   Dread",   those  regions   east  of   Eredwethion  and   north  of
 Taur-na-Danion   which   Morgoth    ruled;   but    its   borders...
