Tolkien Meta Library
The Tolkien fandom has over the decades collaboratively created so many pieces of headcanons and meta interpretations, but the posts floating around in ephemeral fandom spaces can be easily lost or overlooked. Especially all the posts languishing on inactive pages until someone happens to find and share them again.
Thus the Meta Library project to collect and organize them! A fun and useful resource for the fandom to read existing world-building contributions, and to make previous work on a topic easy to access, build upon and credit. Because this is intended as a resource, the individual analyses are not necessarily endorsed nor in agreement with each other.

Summary
A meta comparing the alternate version of Pharazôn, Míriel and their marriage in Histories of Middle-earth vol 12, to the version published in Silmarillion.
Aka, I read everything Tolkien wrote about Tar-Míriel for my fanfic on her, and came out of it with strong opinions ;)

Bookmarker's Notes
Meta: Adûnaic has a positively connoted word for "night", "lômi", and a negatively connoted word, "dolgu". The positive word is seemingly borrowed from Quenya "lómë".
Speculation: This borrowing occurred from the "Auta i lómë" moment. -
