The earliest name for the father of Húrin (LB/115, LR/275), in later writings named Galdor. In still earlier writings, the name G. Gumlin was used for the servant who accompanied Túrin to Doriath, but this character was renamed Grithnir in the published version of The Silmarillion.

galdor

masculine name. Galdor

A name for Legolas in Lord of the Rings drafts (TI/148). This name also appeared in The Etymologies from the 1930s along with another form Gallor, which probably developed when voiced stops became spirants after liquids [ld > lð] and then [[n|medial [lð] became [ll]]]. Later the name S. Galdor was used for the father of Húrin.
