Notes

The "Gwathuirin/Dunlendish" language remains one of the many un- or underdeveloped languages within the Legendarium.It pretty much consists of only one word:"Forgoil" though possibly the river name "Adorn" also belongs to this language and -technically- maybe the name "Agaldor/Galdor".

The two only known "Dunlendish" names, "Freca" and "Wulf" actually are rohirric and derived from anglo-saxon.The Old Gondorian dialects and Halethian are however thought to be very close.
