Why Gandalf was called ‘Mithrandir’ in the The Lord of the Rings?
Dude Changed status to publish February 8, 2022
Mithrandir is simply the Sindarin name for Gandalf. Tolkien was a professor of Old English and Middle English, and memorized all that he could on the languages. It would seem no trivial task to list every single word again throughout his entire body of work with its prepositions, suffixes, prefixes, syllables directed at someone or something in particular– unless it’s just our human imperfection that makes us need things spelled out more explicitly for us.
As you can see from my answer to earlier questions about this question – I’m not an ELF expert.
