return

1498 the return of the king
when indexing Appendices D through F, concentrating on those
names or terms that feature in the main text, and when subdividing
entries by aspect.
Primary entry elements have been chosen usually according
to predominance in The Lord of the Rings, but sometimes based
on familiarity or ease of reference: thus (for instance) predominant
Nazgûl rather than Ringwraiths or even less frequent Black
Riders, and predominant and familiar Treebeard rather than Fangorn,
with cross-references from (as they seem to us) the most
important alternate terms. Names of bays, bridges, fords, gates,
towers, vales, etc. including ‘Bay’, ‘Bridge’, etc. are entered usually
under the principal element, e.g. Belfalas, Bay of rather than
Bay of Belfalas. Names of battles and mountains are entered
directly, e.g. Battle of Bywater, Mount Doom. With one exception
(Rose Cotton), married female hobbits are indexed under the
husband’s surname, with selective cross-references from maiden
names.
