- While reading the Dutch version of LOTR, I noticed that many names
- have been changed to some Dutch equivalent in such a way that I can't
- "de-translate" them to the originals. e.g. 'Bilbo Baggins' is translated
- by 'Bilbo Baling'. Does anyone know WHY this was done ? Maybe someone has
- a list of Dutch<->English names in the LOTR ??
