Thanks for answering about the character Beorhtnoth. Now I understand, Tolkien
did not make up that name; it already existed.
Is there a connection between beor/beorn/beorht? A common root? Or is the
similarity just on the surface?
That's what I meant, by my cryptic question earlier.

What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind... Wordsworth
