Danke,

I think there is something of mathematics in there beyond mundane
history, because as I was reading today my eyes misread Aragorn as
Algorithm.

Interestingly, that article puts the "Bay of Belfast" in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. Is it possible that this might be a typo for the "Bay
of Belfalas"? Maybe the text was auto-corrected (for some value of "corrected").

Even Homer was known to nod at times.
Somewhere in HOME there is a note on the back of something unrelated
to it listing the time that various father/son pairs from a novel he
was working on but never finished had lived in stating that the 4th
Age was pre-Ice Age. Whether the author of the article was aware of
this is unclear.
(The pairs all involved names with the same meanings [one for the
fathers, one for the sons] and a dream of a Really Big Wave. IIRC, of
course.)

I have always called it Tolkmas,though never gone out
caroling "O Little Town of Bloemfontein".

May 133 Tolkien Reckoning be a happy new year for all!

Very interesting.
