There's no any indication in Tolkien's texts that the Balrog whom Glorfindel fought was in fact Lungorthin. That Balrog remained unnamed, while Lungorthin was mentioned only once, in The Lay of the Children of Húrin:
"But Lungorthin Lord of Balrogs
on the mouth smote him, and Morgoth smiled:
'Nay, fear when thou feelest, when the flames lick thee,
and the whistling whips thy white body
and wilting flesh weal and torture!'"
—Lines 96-100
All we have is just this episode and the Balrog's name, nothing more. --Ar-Zigûr (talk) 09:20, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
