That, at least, is a reasonable argument. I'd forgotten about Quenya and
Sindarin. However, wasn't one of the dialects he used referred to as
Sperethiel? It seems I know that word from outside of SR somewhere and it
would almost have to be there... I could be mistaken though. I'd have to dig
through the books again.
