'''Aros''' was a river of [[East Beleriand]] that formed much of the border of the Kingdom of [[Doriath]].

It arose in the northern lands west of the [[Pass of Aglon]] in the [[Shadowy Spring]], and flowed south between [[Dor Dínen]] and [[Himlad]]; between these two lands the river could be crossed at [[Arossiach]]. The river's course then followed the eastern and, turning west, the southern boundaries of the [[Forest of Region]]; at that point it was joined by its main tributary, [[Celon]]. Aros then met the [[Sirion]] at [[Aelin-uial]].<ref>{{S|Map}}</ref>

==Other versions of the legendarium==

In the [[Lost Tales]] river Aros is flowing south of Artanor ([[Doriath]]). Near its spring it is passing the caves of the Rodothlim ([[Nargothrond]]).<ref>[[J.R.R. Tolkien]], [[Christopher Tolkien]] (ed.) 1984: The History of Middle-earth, vol. 2, [[The Book of Lost Tales]], part two, p. 236.</ref> This is later corrected to [[Narog]].<ref>[[J.R.R. Tolkien]], [[Christopher Tolkien]] (ed.) 1984: The History of Middle-earth, vol. 2, [[The Book of Lost Tales]], part two, p. 244 note 15.</ref>

==Etymology==
The word ''Aros'', derived from the [[Elvish]] [[Sundocarme|root]] [[YAR|YAR-]] ("blood"), is said to be a "''name of river with reddish water''". The [[Noldorin]] form of the word was ''iaros''.<ref>{{LR|Etymologies}}, p. 400</ref>

Talk:Durin's Folk

172.70.210.176: /* reversions */ new section

I've got a couple of things I'd like to ask people about:

1) Shouldn't this be Durin's Folk? I've just flicked through my Appendix A and although Tolkien isn't consistent - in my copy (this might've been ironed out in the 50th) - he uses "Durin's Folk" six times compared to "Durin's folk" once. He also mentions the "Folk of Durin" too. It'd also be consistent with the following...

2) (This should probably go over with [[Kings of Durin's Folk]] but I'm putting it here because it's related and I don't want to clutter up Recent Changes with lots of Talk page rubbish.) "Durin's line" redirects to "Kings of Durin's Folk". I know this is a bit pedantic but the line includes all the non-kings (Gimli, Fili, etc. etc.) so shouldn't they be separate and include [[User:Mith/Sandbox#Durin's line|the family-tree currently in my sandbox]]? In fact, we could create "House of Durin" and redirect "Durin's line" to that?

3) I also think there's unnecessary overlap between this article and "Kings of Durin's Folk" in that they both repeat the line of Kings. Both slightly messily and clumsily, admittedly.

Any objections to my making these changes? --{{User:Mith/sig}} 17:21, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

:+1. "Durin's Folk" looks much better to me.--[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 18:03, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

:I think this should be "Durin's Folk", and describe the third part of Appendix A, rather than being a duplicate of the Kings article. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 18:29, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

== reversions ==

I have added a reference to the inspiration paragraph. Then I have seen, that there were several reversions before. I don't really understand them.--[[Special:Contributions/172.70.210.176|172.70.210.176]] 19:56, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
