boldog

masculine name. Boldog

Name (or possibly a title) of an Orc (MR/418) glossed “Torment-slayer” (Ety/ÑGWAL). This name is a compound of [N.] baul “torment” and [N.] daug “warrior”.

Conceptual Development: The name ᴱN. Boldog first appeared in the Lays of Beleriand from the 1920s (PM/229). In The Etymologies from the 1930s, N. Boldog was glossed “Torment-slayer” and designated an Orc-captain (Ety/NDAK, ÑGWAL); these entries are the source of the derivation given above. The name appeared in some late notes from the 1950s, but not in the Silmarillion revisions from that period (MR/418, 423 note #5).

hador

masculine name. Warrior

Leader of the House of Hador, one of the three tribes of the Edain (S/147). In a geneology from 1959, the name seems to be translated “Warrior” in Hador Lorindol “the Warrior Goldenhead”, appearing beneath S. Magor “the Sword” and S. Hathol “the Axe” (WJ/234).

Conceptual Development: In Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s, this name appeared as N. Hádor and Hador with both long and short a (LR/146). In The Etymologies of the 1930s, N. hador was translated as “thrower” (Ety/KHAT).
