Stavningen ändrades i texten men inte på kartan antagligen p.g.a tidspress.

Hammond & Anderson verkar denna karta ha ritats i sista minuten. Ja,

TT fanns redan i bokhandeln när kartan ritades verkar det som. Men någon kanske vet mer?
Jag kan ju inte påstå att jag bryr mig speciellt om det står "Kirith Ungol" eller "Cirith Ungol", men kartans "Kirith Ungol" och "Kiril" (som inte heller är ändrat i jubileumsupplagan) har blivit så kända att det känns onödigt att rätta. Så här kan det ju låta:
Encyclopedia of Arda skrev:
'Ciril' is the later spelling of this river's name, used throughout the text of The Lord of the Rings. The large-scale contour map given at the beginning of Book V, though, shows the older form of the name, 'Kiril', which reflects its correct pronunciation.
Tolkien tar upp detta i "Letters", brev nummer 187:
Citera:
As 'research students' always discover, however long they are allowed, and careful their work and notes, there is always a rush at the end, when the last date suddenly approaches on which their thesis must be presented. So it was with this book, and the maps. I had to call in the help of my son – the C.T. or C.J.R.T. of the modest initials on the maps – an accredited student of hobbit-lore. And neither of us had an entirely free hand. I remember that when it became apparent that the 'general map' would not suffice for the final Book, or sufficiently reveal the courses of Frodo, the Rohirrim, and Aragorn, I had to devote many days, the last three virtually without food or bed, to drawing re-scaling and adjusting a large map, at which he then worked for 24 hours (6a.m. to 6 a.m. without bed) in re-drawing just in time. Inconsistencies of spelling are due to me. It was only in the last stages that (in spite of my son's protests: he still holds that no one will ever pronounce Cirith right, it appears as Kirith in his map, as formerly also in the text) I decided to be 'consistent' and spell Elvish names and words throughout without k. There are no doubt other variations.
Det saknas också accent i flera fall ("Ephel Duath") m.m. Vissa av dessa fel har korrigerats (och nya har tillkommit) på en omritad version för pocketutgåvor som en Stephen Raw utförde på 90-talet, i samarbete med CT. I 50-årsutgåvan används en version som är identisk med den urspungliga. Jag tror inte att man alls har justerat kartorna där.
