Prediction 4. Remmirath ‘flies’.

Tolkien Prediction #4 That the meaning and description for Remmirath (the Pleiades) would incorporate the meaning/ description of ‘flies’.

GL gives no other information beyond that cited on p. 279, note 10, but compares sithagong ‘dragonfly’ (sitha ‘fly’, Sithaloth or Sithaloctha (‘fly-cluster’), the Pleiades).

(The Book of Lost Tales, Part One, Appendix)

This is an early word in the evolution of Remmirath. You often find clues to meanings in the histories of the words. This prediction was made because of my theory regarding the hidden function of the Seven Stars and Tolkien’s geometry.
