That's not recognized by everybody, but I think we'll see that more next week than this.

Going back to the words of the names, we're also told how those names like Drew change in Quenya.

So Druhu becomes simply Ru and Ruatan with a plural Ruatani.

So back to the text, leaving a footnote behind.

The text tells us that despite their unloveliness, they were in fact much loved while they were around.

So in terms of the timeline, we're talking about...

When the men of Dor-Lomin, their realm was destroyed in First Stage 472.

23 years later, the elven realm of Nagathrond was destroyed, 495.

And then another 11 years later, Doriath was destroyed.

And four years after that, in 510, Gondolin.

So in that 38-year span between Dor-Lomin being taken over and then the last of the elven kingdoms, Gondolin, falling,
