Lothíriel doesn't sound anything like Lolth. The spelling Lloth, although stated in the various Wikis to be a Drow dialect spelling, really is nothing more than a spelling mistake made by R A Salvatore that didn't get picked up in editing. The 'variant spelling' claim is just an excuse to save Salvatore's face.
