What?! Listen, my FRiend, Tolkein was a wonderful writer, and he did, indeed, introduce a number of interesting words, but there are words he did not invent.
I had seen the word “moot” used only as an adjective and not as a noun. So I did a search and found it on freedictionary.com.
(Historical Terms) (in Anglo-Saxon England) an assembly, mainly in a shire or hundred, dealing with local legal and administrative affairs
.....
Not sure what role bagster played in all of this. Pretty sure I spotted the word “moot” in a post by Snowybear.
Love, love learning new words.
Sorry... Look, I was just trying to tell you that I had written a dictionary. I also apologized to bagster. I am dealing with pressing medical issues right now and simply misfired in multiple directions. Some on this thread address me about Tolkien questions and it brightens my day.
