: You're welcome. As for the ILLUSTRATED ENCYCLOPEDIA, I do believe that is one of Day's travesties. Appreciate it for the pretty pictures, but it has no relevance whatsoever to J.R.R. Tolkien. Day just likes to make up nonsense and pass it off as "Tolkien lore". It bears little resemblance to to anything Tolkien ever actually wrote.

Let's just hope it isn't in Peter Jackson's vast library of Tolkienalia we hear about. A dusty copy of Parma Endorion would be much more useful (except the part about balrogs). ;-)
