To add: published in Vinyar Tengwar 41, JRRT noted:

6) 'Amros Sindarin for Ambarussa. Had Amros Ambarto lived, it [i.e. the name Ambarto] would probably have been [Sindarized] as Amrod, but when[?encountered] at all in Sindarin form it was [?] Amarthan Fated One. S. ambart-> ammarth, amarth 'fate' = Umbarto'

Maedros, Maglor, Celegorm, Curufin, Caranthir, Amros, Amarthan

I take it that 'encountered' refers to encountered 'in text' but I suppose this name could refer to speech too, after all, Nerdanel's Umbarto had proven to be true.

Old thread, I know.

So the twins called each other Ambarussa, but 'Others called them Minyarussa and Atyarussa' ; i.e, 'First-russa and 'Second-russa'.

This from VT 41 again.
