Voici ce que dit Tolkien himself dans son Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings (je pense que tout le monde sera d'accord pour ne pas contester ;-)
Ring-wraiths : This is a translation of the Black Speech Nazgûl, from nazg 'ring' and gûl, any one of the major invisible servants of Sauron dominated entirely by his will. A compound must be made out of suitable elements in the language of translation that has the sense of 'ring-wraith' as nearly as possible.

Donc Ringwraiths = Nazgûl (Úlairi est une autre traduction possible, que l'on retrouve dans l'index du Silmarillion)
On retrouve bien ce que disait Elendur et supposait Denethor.
