* The actual title of this tale is The Tale of Turambar and the Foalуkл, the Foalуkл being the Dragon.
* In the tale (see p. 156) the name Gungliont was originally written, but was emended to Ungoliont.
* In the margin is written Ielfethэp. This is Old English, representing the interpretation of the Elvish name made by Eriol in his own language: the first element meaning ‘swan’ (ielfetu), and the second (later ‘hithe‘) meaning ‘haven, landing-place‘.
* Written in the margin: ‘Beginning of The Sun and Moon’.
* In margin: ‘also Valahнru’.
* ‘A Northern Venture: verses by members of the Leeds University English School Association’ (Leeds, at the Swan Press, 1923). I have not seen this publication and take these details from Humphrey Carpenter, Biography, p. 269.
* In the margin is written D
* later Lake Mithrim.
* later Hъrin.
* The father of Beren.
* i.e. Hisilуmл; see p. 112.
* The note concerning Angol and Eriollo referred to on p. 24 is written inside the cover of GL.
* Later Quenya and Sindarin forms are only exceptionally mentioned. For such words see the vocabularies given in An Introduction to Elvish, ed. J. Allan, Bran’s Head Books, 1978; also the Appendix to The Silmarillion.
* 1 You and I
* 3 In the long old days, the shining days,
* 15 in the golden sand
* 23 That now we cannot find again
* 25 night nor day
* 29 New-built it was, yet very old,
* 37 And all the borders
* 43 That laughed with You and Me.
* 47 little towns
* 56 Debated ancient childish things
* 62 That leads between the sea and sky
* 63 To those old shores
* 65 We know not, You and I.
