[MR] Was it Myrkwood? ====> Re: What was in Bright Hills before it was Bright Hills?

[Brett W. McCoy]

It would be kind of odd for the name 'Myrkwood' to be copyrighted
since it was 'Mirkwood' in Tolkien and came from earlier Germanic
sources to begin with (mirkiwidu) .... but perhaps was removed from
usage just because of it's association with fantasy literature...
