Soul, spirit

Perhaps it is appropriate to start the roll of WordWheel with these words that take such a central place in Tolkien's writings. The fate of the soul, the core of the sentient being, its nature, its relation to the earthly matter that comprises our bodies is a subject of many a speculation in his works.

WordWheel is the title of a new column (as it were) here on Aglardh which I hope can provide gorunds for some interesting insight and discussion on word-origins, true to the legacy of Tolkien the philologist.
