I'm hyperventilating already at the thought! It'll get me through this year though, it has to. O,g.
Look at Peter Jackson, sneaking in worldbuilding even in his choice of animal life!
Aragorn even ends up saddling his royal house with "Strider". Quenya or not, he couldn't have picked a more impressive-sounding name?
Regarding Tolkien's notes, I've also found that you can also get a lot by reading the fanfic of authors who have actually done the research -- it's almost the same, but considerably easier to follow. I mean, in a way since even in-universe the historiography is kind of doubtful, we're doing just more of the same, right?
If you need a sounding board or anything I'm here! :)
