Well, in fact it's rather the amount of published material from Tolkien which
is rather thin (well, about linguistic material only, because we can hardly say
that the twelve tomes of _History of Middle-Earth_ are thin :)) ). But it's
well-known that the amount of notes that he left is enormous, and it's quite
probable (according to Christopher Tolkien at least, and with such a name you
can only trust him :)) ) that most of the conlinguistic material is still to be
published.
