Disney plans to eliminate thousands of jobs next week
...
Former Disney CEO Bob Chapek, who Iger handpicked to serve as his successor in February 2020, was dismissed by the board of directors after lackluster financial performance under his leadership and replaced with Iger in November 2022.

Who needs the entertainment dept.
Iger is leaving the propaganda dept intact.
Tolkien, being a linguist, adopted a somewhat quirky but not unprecedented consonant shift (see "thieves", "leaves", and "sheaves".)
I wonder if it was discussed among the "Inklings."
