I think this is one of several examples of idiosyncracies in this
indexing system. We probably have to remember that this index was (I
think) based on, or was originally drawn up, by someone else, for
Tolkien. Possibly he either didn't have time to spot all the little
errors, or failed to spot them.

Oh, phoeey!
I seem to remember being invoved in a big discussion about that at some
point, and I also seem to remember some consensus that the "stone like
the Moon" probably wasn't a palantir.
Guess no-one thought to check the index... :-)
