Etymology
Other versions of the legendarium
An early name for otsola is otsan. Earlier Gnomish name is ochlad.
In The Etymologies, Tolkien wrote about the five-day week called lemnar. In the background of The Lord of the Rings however the Elves use the six-day week called enquië in Quenya. The Men use a seven-day week, but the Elvish term is not given.
