		Re: Plagarism in Fantasy Novels? (was Re: Harry Potter?)

		Re: Plagarism in Fantasy Novels? (was Re: Harry Potter?)
(...) That would seem logical, especially since Tolkien was a Beowulf scholar, but the attributions I have read specifically say it derives from ogre (or was it ogre actually derives from orc - dang, I don't remember). Bruce (24 years ago, 21-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

		Re: Plagarism in Fantasy Novels? (was Re: Harry Potter?)
(...) Middle-earth, hyphenated, small e. Tolkien had a number of idiosynchratic spellings, such as dwarves. Orc is derived from Ogre, which is why you see fantasy games can get away with refering to orcs, but never Hobbits. Bruce (who got away with (...)

		Re: Plagarism in Fantasy Novels? (was Re: Harry Potter?)
