Robert Foster's Guide to Middle-earth doesn't do that. Will you consider publishing it digitally as well?<br /><br />For names with different forms, I'd place the entry under the most common spelling and the other variants can have "See ____". But you probably don't need that tip...Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05315348028756856231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177193073415704349.post-28357056220134956262011-09-01T14:00:10.805+01:002011-09-01T14:00:10.805+01:00Very cool and interesting.

A few years ago I inherited a couple of what officially are called "swagger sticks" from the estate of a distant uncle who had been in the US Marine Corps. They are short batons carried by the drill sergeants. It seems the baton of authority is still in use, albeit by another name.Adventuresfantastichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16907562789681407416noreply@blogger.com
