Oh, that's easy. You're comparing the race of jotuns with the citizens of Asgard. The confusion sneaks in because that populace identifies itself by the same name when referred to as a race.

I just had a thought about Tolkein too. It's probably not a good plan to reference Tolkein for a standard on English. He tended to adjust the language for poetic license. "Hello" becomes "Hullo" when spoken by a hobbit for example, and I've noticed that he capitalised "barrow" when he was referring to the particular barrow that the hobbits stumbled into.
