Finrod? Inglor? Gnomes? Noldor?
I was reading the fragment of the Lay Of Leithian that I have. At first King Felagund's name was given as Inglor, and Finrod was his father. But at a later stage, the poem says:
"The captives sad in Angband mourn. Thunder rumbles, the fires burn --- And Finrod fell before the throne." Now it's Finrod Felagund. Similarly, the Elves start off being called Gnomes, and are later called Noldor. |

Tolkien changed stuff around, a LOT. As another instance: Strider was once to be a hobbit named Trotter...
