Name-List to The Fall of Gondolin. Unfinished compilation of names in Qenya and Gnomish (Noldorin, later Sindarin; see *Languages, Invented) occurring in The Fall of Gondolin in *The Book of Lost Tales as set forth by Eriol at the teaching of Bronwegs son Littleheart (*The Book of Lost Tales, Part Two, p. 148). Tolkien evidently compiled this list in more or less alphabetical order from the *Official Name List (?1917?1919), but it extends only as far as the letter L. *Christopher Tolkien incorporated information from the list in the Appendices (Names in the Lost Tales) to *The Book of Lost Tales, Part One and The Book of Lost Tales, Part Two. The complete list was published in Parma Eldalamberon 15 (2004), pp. 1930, edited with commentary and notes by Christopher Gilson and Patrick H. Wynne.
Included with the Name-List proper is another projected list of names, abandoned after only three entries, probably the beginning of a list for The Cottage of Lost Play (The Book of Lost Tales).
The Name Nodens. Note, first published as Appendix I, pp. 1327, in the Report on the Excavation of the Prehistoric, Roman, and Post-Roman Site in Lydney Park, Gloucestershire by R.E.M. Wheeler and T.V. Wheeler (Oxford: Printed at the University Press by John Johnson for The Society of Antiquaries, 1932). See further, Descriptive Bibliography B13.
The report is concerned with excavations in 19289 of a promontory fort or small embanked hill-town of five acres, established at Lydney in or shortly before the first century BC. Soon after A.D. 3647 a temple, dedicated to the otherwise unknown deity Nodens, was built within the earthwork, and with the temple, which was of unusual plan, were associated a guest-house, baths, and other structures, indicating that the cult was an important centre of pilgrimage (Wheeler and Wheeler, p. 1). Tolkien observes in his note that the name Nodens occurs in three inscriptions; otherwise, from the same place and presumably roughly contemporary, there is in early Keltic [Celtic] material no trace of any such name or stem (p. 132). He relates Nodens to Núadu (later Núada) Argat-lám, the king of the Túatha dé Danann, the possessors of Ireland before the Milesians (p. 133), and to other Nuadas in Irish. It is possible to see a memory of this figure in the medieval Welsh Lludd Llaw Ereint (of the Silver Hand) the ultimate original of King Lear whose daughter Creiddylad (Cordelia) was carried off, after her betrothal to Gwythyr vab Greiddawl, by Gwynn vab Nudd, a figure having connexions with the underworld (p. 133). The normal Welsh form of Nuada or Nodens is Nudd.
Tolkien researched Nodens and wrote a note on the subject probably in 1929 or 1930, at the request of R.E.M. (later Sir Mortimer) Wheeler, Keeper and Secretary of the London Museum. Wheeler had the finished note in hand apparently well before 2 December 1931, when he informed Tolkien that a report on the Lydney Park excavations was to be issued by the Society of Antiquaries, including Tolkiens note, and enclosed a proof. Tolkien replied to Wheeler by 9 December, evidently having had related thoughts on the possible evolution of the name Lydney out of Lludd. He wrote at once to his colleague Allen Mawer, then Director of the Survey of English Place-names, about the history of Lydney, but the data Mawer could supply were indeterminate.
