Part 6/7:
Despite the inherent risks, the Mouth of Sauron referred to his master directly as Sauron. This act was a violation of Sauron’s guidelines regarding how he wished to be addressed, yet it appears there was a caveat. In his capacity as an emissary, it can be surmised that Sauron allowed the Mouth of Sauron some leeway, ensuring that any enemies he spoke to were aware of whom he represented.
In scientific terms, this approach can be compared to law enforcement vernacular—using codes and terminology that make sense to the perpetrator, while remaining obscure to outsiders. By referring to Sauron as "the great" in conjunction with his name, the Mouth crafted a language that communicated loyalty and fear to the enemies he sought to intimidate.
