Oh, please; let's not. Can we leave Tolkien behind,
here? I didn't invent a language because I was inspired
by Tolkien. I admired Tolkien greatly, but I was starting
on Teonaht years before I'd even heard of Lord of the
Rings. If we call it Arda, then we're subconsciously
inclined to invent something Tolkienesque. I think we
should depart as far as possible from the Tolkien model.
Just my two cents.
