N. Nosdiligand m.

N. Nosdiligand, m.
Leader of the “people of the Delta” among the forces gathered to defend Minas Tirith, appearing in a rough outline from Tolkien’s initial work on Book V of The Lord of the Rings (WR/252). Above this name, Tolkien wrote Northiligand as a possible replacement (WR/266 note #24). According to Christopher Tolkien, this character appeared nowhere other than this outline (WR/255). The meaning of this name is unclear.
