>>24541681You’re misunderstanding the function of language and cultural references in fantasy. Tolkien intentionally used modern words and real-world inspirations to create resonance for the reader — not because Middle-earth is literally a pre-Industrial version of Earth.
He even said in his letters that the language used is a “translation” — so "April," "potato," or "Sancho" are meant to reflect a familiar equivalent in our terms, not actual historical crossovers.
If you want pure invented language for every concept, you’d be reading an unreadable brick of Elvish, because, afterall, lotr is really the translated red book of westmarch.
