	Northvegr - Saxo's The History of the Danes
		But Swerting, though he was equally moved by the distress of his countrymen, said nothing about the ills of his land, and revolved a plan for freedom with a spirit yet more dogged than Hanef's.
		Therefore, since the deed of Swerting was far from honourable, neither will it be called expedient; for it is nobler to attack openly him whom you mean to attack, and to exhibit hatred in the light of day, than to disguise a real wish to do harm under a spurious show of friendship.
		Now the sons of Swerting, fearing that they would have to pay to Ingild the penalty of their father's crime, were fain to forestall his vengeance by a gift, and gave him their sister in marriage.

		Arum was at his wits-end and then suddenly blurted out to Swerting that Egrelda looked exactly like Einar and was of a much higher social standing, a real Lady – take her instead, he begged.
		Swerting approached Moradir and promised him great wealth, power, important titles and vast lands in Norg if he sailed just a little further along East Water to a patch of reeds where Wasp and his warships would be waiting.
		Swerting returned to Green Towers, sealed the bargain with Arum to let Moradir through unhindered and left a chest crammed with precious stones by way of thanks.

	Haradrim/Southrons/Swertings
		The Haradrim were known as 'Southrons' or 'Southerns' in Westron and as 'Swertings' in the Shire.
		This last word is pure Old English and means 'fl ones', though it should be remembered that 'Swerting' is also the name of a character in Beowulf, where it is likely to refer to the colour of the character's hair rather than their skin.
		The passage in "Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit" where Sam and Frodo see a dead Haradrim up close indicates they were darker-skinned than people of the north, with dark eyes and fl hair.

		Some of the others look down on him, calling him 'Swerting' and 'orc-boy', and they say he's not a real Prince, but some kind of Southron bandit chieftain's son.
		Of course, he meant only the men, and it was after that, an hour or so later, that we met in the gallery for the dancing lesson.
		The upshot was mutual respect, and no more 'swerting' or 'orc boy'.

		As is the horror of war - which is not the ugliness of broken bodies and maimed souls, the wanton destruction of nature, but rather the individual tragedies it creates, the stories (if we adopt an ‘Entish’ perspective for a moment) which are stopped dead before they are full told.
		It is easy to draw these parralels but since this is not the place for full discussion, I would say that 50 years on our minds are tuned to different wavelengths - we are far more sensitive to these things now.
		In short, I think the discriptions here are essentially a coincidence of geography (as he has taken care to give ithilien appropriate flora so he gives the people of the south and east appropriate characteristics) and serve to highlight how strange and exotic the swertings are to the hobbits.
