According to the Middle-earth article, Arda is an Elvish-language term. Pardon my ignorance, but is it Quenya or Sindarin? Or indeed both? -- Oliver P. 00:54 May 8, 2003 (UTC)
"Noncanon names" - it's rather POV, as the "canon" Silmarillion is what Christopher Tolkien chose to include. I think "Round World version" would be the better header name... Ausir 23:25, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Does the term Romenor appear in Tolkien's writing? I can't find it. This looks like another one of the roleplaying terms to me, and thus non-canon. Apologies in advance if it is an actual JRRT term (I'd appreciate a pointer to where the term can be found!). — Jor (Talk) 23:37, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- I suspect it is, as the only Googles for it are MERP material and Wikipedia copies. I don't have the index volume for the HoME series yet, but the name does not appear in the indices for IX–XII (where it would if it were part of the "Round World" bit), or in IV (Ambarkanta). — Jor (Talk) 23:43, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)
The identification of Aman with America seems silly, considering that Aman was supposed to have been physically separated from the rest of Arda when the latter was made round. — Gwalla | Talk 21:48, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
