EARIEN'S LETTER AND MAP:

I made a discovery by pure coincidence.

Almost all Harfoot/Stoor first names are in the Appendix to LotR!

Baggins, Largo

Brandybuck, Malva née Headstrong

Cotton, Marigold née Gamgee

Brandybuck, Merimac

Bolger, Poppy née Chubb-Baggins

Brandybuck, Sadoc

I didn't find:

Dilly (Nori's sister) - which might be a shortened version of her name, just like Nori is short for Elanor

Gundabale - it might be the female version of Gundabald that is in the Appendix.

It got me thinking, the reason why Yavanna made the Ents was to protect the earth, plus she helped make the Eagles.

We have Stoors, river-folk. Fallohides, forest-folk. And Harfoots, land-dwellers.

And Stoors were known and common friends of Humans, Fallohides of Elves and Harfoots of Dwarves.

I like to think that Yavanna made them all as protectors/nurturers of their domains, made to watch over the creations of the other Valar.

Also Fallohides were the taller type, lived in forests… maybe that’s why Treebeard didn’t know what Hobbits were because Fallohides migrated away centuries earlier.

Also, Merry and Pippin are Fallohide descendants. In fact most Tooks are which is explained as the reason for their ‘oddness’ but also noble standing.

Also Fallohides being generally 4 feet, something Merry and Pippin surpass after the Entdraught.

I am so disappointed at the amount of negativity I am receiving from “Tolkien Scholars” who think that women don’t have the right to speak on anything Tolkien unless we can speak fluent elvish and have the Simarilion memorized.

Tolkien wasn’t written for you to gatekeep and leave rude, entitled comments about. Our podcast name is “Girls Nerd Out” and that seems to enrage them even more.
