Lugluk the Obtuse has a certain ring to it.I just checked and it's apparently still available as a screen name.
But it also looks like one of those that would get the quick ZOT! from the Admin Moderator.

Shame on you.

"He borrowed from early English verse to concoct the imaginary language spoken by Arwen, played by Liv Tyler,.."
I think he borrowed more from celtic for the language of the Elves. Anglo-Saxon was a Germanic tonuge and had a harsh Germaic tone to it.
Also, I believe that although he did use Anglo-Saxon themes in his writing, he also borrowed heavily from a Finnish national epic, whose name escapes me.

Don't get too excited, though. Please recall that Prof. Tolkien was first and foremost a linguist, and a specialist in what is essentially a "dead language": Anglo-Saxon or "Middle English," the language spoken in England prior to the coming of the Normans.
When I was a college Freshman--and a lot more inquisitive--I read portions of his translation of the epic poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight." It was VERY, VERY dry, even the annotations. This is stuff that only another academic could love.
Tolkien stood astride two worlds: That of the scholar, and that of the author of fanciful fiction.
The twain really didn't meet at very many points.

"Class" is not what it would add to it!
Liv Tyler isn't wearing any skivvies under her dress, that is as close as you are gonna get.
To: HairOfTheDog; JenB
Cool! Something to look forward to! Making sure Jen gets a ping for her return....
To: Sabertooth
Yes, the major going theory is that he based it on a very old dialect of Finnish, a non-written form in which the Finnish national epic, the Kalevala was cast (it was not written down originally, but memorized in its entirety in the original language. National Geographic had a really interesting bit about it in their documentary on LOTR inlcuded in the "Deluxe" DVD box set).
