Notes
1 |
At least, in The Etymologies (The History of Middle-earth volume V, The Lost Road and Other Writings III) this is given as the meaning of the name of Boromir of Ladros, and Appendix F of The Lord of the Rings strongly hints that the Gondorian Boromir was named for this hero of the First Age. |
