– 160 - calen (galen) the usual Sindarin word for 'green', in Ard-galen, Tol Galen, Calenardhon; also in Parth Galen ('Green Sward') beside Anduin and Pinnath Gelin ('Green Ridges') in Gondor. See kal-. cam (from kamba) 'hand', but specifically of the hand held cupped in the attitude of receiving or holding, in Camlost, Erchamion. carak-This root is seen in Quenya carca 'fang', of which the Sindarin form carch occurs in Carcharoth, and also in Carchost ('Fang Fort', one of the Towers of the Teeth at the entrance to Mordor). Cf. Caragdur, Carach Angren ('Iron Jaws', the rampart and dike guarding the entrance to Udun in Mordor), and Helcaraxe. caran 'red', Quenya carne, in Caranthir, Carnil, Orocarni; also in Caradhras, from caran-rass, the 'Redhorn' in the Misty Mountains, and Carnimirie 'red-jewelled', the rowan-tree m Treebeard's song. The translation of Carcharoth in the text as 'Red Maw' must depend on association with this word; see carak-. celeb 'silver' (Quenya telep, telpe, as in Telperion) in Celeborn, Celebrant, Celebros. Celebrimbor means 'silver-fist', from the adjective celebrin 'silver' (meaning not 'made of silver' but 'like silver, in hue or worth') and paur (Quenya quare) 'fist' often used to mean 'hand'; the Quenya form of the name was Telperinquar. Celebrindal has celebrin and tal, dal 'foot'. coron 'mound' in Corollaire (also called Coron Oiolaire, which latter word appears to mean 'Ever-summer', cf. Oiolosse); cf. Cerin Amroth, the great mound in Lothlorien. cu 'bow' in Cuthalion, Dor Cuarthol, Laer Cu Beleg. cuivie 'awakening' in Cuivienen (Sindarin Nen Echui). Other derivatives of the same root are Dor Firn-i-Guinar; coire, the first beginning of Spring, Sindarin echuir. The Lord of the Rings Appendix D; and coimas 'life-bread', Quenya name of lembas. cul-'golden-red' in Culurien. curu 'skill' in Curuftn(we), Curunir. dae 'shadow' in Dor Daedeloth, and perhaps m Daeron. dagor 'battle'; the root is ndak-, cf. Haudh-en-Ndengin. Another derivative is Dagnir (Dagnir Glaurunga 'Glaurung's Bane'). del 'horror* in Delduwath; deloth 'abhorrence' in Dor Daedeloth. din 'silent' in Dor Dinen; cf. Rath Dinen, the Silent Street in Minas Tirith, and Amon Din, one of the beacon-hills of Gondor. dol 'head' in Lorindol; often applied to hills and mountains, as in Dol Guldur, Dolmed, Mindolluin (also Nardol, one of the beacon-hills of Gondor, and Fanuidhol, one of the Mountains of Moria). dor 'land' (i.e. dry land as opposed to sea) was derived from ndor; it occurs in many Sindarin names, as Doriath, Dorthonion, Eriador, Gondor, Mordor, etc. In Quenya the stem was blended and confused with a quite distinct word nore meaning 'people'; in origin Valinore was strictly 'the people of the Valar', but Valandor 'the land of the Valar', and similarly Numen(n)ore 'people of the West', but Numendor 'land of the West'. Quenya Endor 'Middle-earth' was from ened 'middle' and ndor; this in Sindarin became Ennor (cf. ennorath 'middle lands' in the chant A Elbereth Gilthoniel). draug 'wolf' in Draugluin. du 'night, dimness' in Delduwath, Ephel Duath. Derived from earlier dome, whence Quenya lome; thus Sindarin dulin 'nightingale' corresponds to lomelinde. duin '(long) river' in Anduin, Baranduin, Esgalduin, Malduin, Taur-im-Duinath. dur 'dark' in Barad-dur, Caragdur, Dol Guldur; also in Durthang (a castle in Mordor). ear 'sea' (Quenya) in Earendil, Earrame, and many other names. The Sindarin word gaer (in Belegaer) is apparently derived from the same original stem. echor in Echoriath 'Encircling Mountains' and Orfalch Echor; cf. Rammas Echor 'the great wall of the outer circle' about the Pelennor Fields at Minas Tirith. edhel 'elf (Sindarin) in Adanedhel, Aredhel, Gloredhel, Ost-in-Edhil; also in Peredhil 'Half-elven'. eithel 'well' m Eithel Ivrin, Eithel Sirion, Barad Eithel; also in Mitheithel, the river Hoarwell in Eriador (named from its source). See kel-. el, elen 'star'. According to Elvish legend, ele was a primitive exclamation 'behold!' made by the Elves when they first saw the stars. From this origin derived the ancient words el and elen, meaning 'star', and the adjectives elda and elena, meaning 'of the stars'. These elements appear in a great many names. For the later use of the name Eldar see the Index. The Sindarin equivalent of Elda was Edhel (plural Edhil), q.v.; 'but the strictly corresponding form was Eledh, which occurs in Eledhwen. er 'one, alone', in Amon Ereb (cf, Erebor, the Lonely Mountain), Erchamion, Eressea, Eru. ereg 'thorn, holly' in Eregion, Region. esgal 'screen, hiding' in Esgalduin. - 161 - falas 'shore, line of surf' (Quenya falasse) in Falas, Belfalas; also Anfalas in Gondor. Cf. Falathar, Falathrim. Another derivative from the root was Quenya falma '(crested) wave', whence Falmari, Mar-nu-Falmar. faroth is derived from a root meaning 'hunt, pursue'; in the Lay of Leithian the Taur-en-Faroth above Nargothrond are called 'the Hills of the Hunters'. gaer sea' in Belegaer (and in Gaerys, Sindarin name of Osse). Said to derive from the stem gayaawe, faugfea finformen fuin 'gape' in Anfauglir, Anfauglith, Dor-nu-Fauglith.
'spirit' in Feanor, Feanturi.
'hair' in Finduilas, Fingon, Finrod, Glorftndel.

'gloom, darkness' (Quenya huine) in Fuinur, Taur-nu-Fuin.
' ' dread', and to have been the name made for the vast and terrifying Great Sea when the Eldar first came to its shores. gaur 'werewolf (from a root ngwaw-'howl') m Tol-in-Gaurhoth. gil 'star' in Dagor-nuin-Giliath, Osgiliath (giliath 'host of stars'); Gil-Estel, Gil-galad. girith 'shuddering' in Nen Girith; cf. also Girithron, name of the last month of the year in Sindarin (The Lord of the Rings Appendix D). glin 'gleam' (particularly applied to the eyes) in Maeglin. golodh is the Sindarin form of Quenya Noldo; see gul Plural Golodhrim, and Gelydh (in Annon-in-Gelydh). gond 'stone' in Gondolin, Gondor, Gonnhirrim, Argonath, seregon. The name of the hidden city of King Turgon was devised by him in Quenya as Ondolinde (Quenya ondo= Sindarin gond, and linde 'singing, song'); but it was known always in legend in the Sindarin form Gondolin, which was probably interpreted as gond-dolen 'Hidden Rock'. gor 'horror, dread' in Gorthaur, Gorthol; goroth of the same meaning, with reduplicated gor, in Gorgoroth, Ered Gorgoroth. groth (grod) 'delving, underground dwelling' m Menegroth, Nogrod (probably also in Nimrodel, 'lady of the white cave'). Nogrod was originally Novrod 'hollow delving' (hence the translation Hollowbold), but was altered under the influence of naug 'dwarf'. gul 'sorcery' in Dol Guldur, Minas Morgul. This word was derived from the same ancient stem ngol- that appears in Noldor; cf. Quenya nole 'long study, lore, knowledge'. But the Sindarin word was darkened in sense by its frequent use in the compound morgul 'black arts'. gurth 'death' in Gurthang (see also Melkor in the Index). gwaith 'people' in Gwaith-i-Mirdain; cf. Enedwaith 'Middle-folk', name of the land between the Greyflood and the Isen. gwalh, wath 'shadow' in Delduwath, Ephel Duath; also in Gwathlo, the river Greyflood in Eriador. Related forms in Ered Wethrin, ThurIngwethil. (This Sindarin word referred to dim light, not to the shadows of objects cast by light: these were called morchaint 'dark shapes'.) hadhod in Hadhodrond (translation of Khazad-dum) was a rendering of Khazad into Sindarin sounds. haudh 'mound' in Haudh-en-Arwen, Haudh-en-Elleth, etc. heru 'lord' in Herumor, Herunumen; Sindarin hir in Gonnhirrim, Rohirrim, Barahir; hiril 'lady' in Hirilorn. him 'cool' in Himlad (and Himring?). hin 'children' in Eruhini 'Children of Eru'; Narn i Hin Hurin. hith 'mist' in Hithaeglir, Hithlum (also in Nen Hithoel, a lake in Anduin).

The Lord of the Rings Appendix D). hoth 'host, horde' (nearly always in a bad sense) in Tol-in-Gaurhoth; also in Loss(h)oth, the Snowmen of Forochel (The Lord of the Rings Appendix A [I, iii]) and Glamhoth 'din-horde', a name for Orcs. hyarmen'south' (Quenya) in Hyarmentir; Sindarin har-, harn, harad. ia 'void, abyss' m Moria. iant 'bridge' in Iant Iaur. iath 'fence' in Doriath. iaur 'old' in Iant Iaur; cf. the Elvish name of Bombadil, Iarwain. ilm-This stem appears in Ilmen, Ilmare, and also in Ilmarin ('mansion of the high airs', the dwelling of Manwe and Varda upon Oiolosse). iluve 'the whole, the all' in Iluvatar. kal' (gal-) This root, meaning 'shine', appears in Calacirya, Calaquendi, Tar-Calion; galvorn, Gil-galad, Galadriel. The last two names have no connexion with Sindarin galadh tree', although in the case of Galadriel such - 162 - a connexion was often made, and the name altered to Galadhriel. In the High-elven speech her name was Al(a)tariel, derived from alata 'radiance' (Sindarin galad) and riel 'garlanded maiden' (from a root rig-'twine, wreathe'): the whole meaning 'maiden crowned with a radiant garland', referring to her hair. calen (galen) 'green' is etymologically 'bright', and derives from this root; see also aglar. kano 'commander': this Quenya word is the origin of the second element m Fingon and Turgon. kel-'go away', of water 'flow away, flow down', in Celon; from et-kele 'issue of water, spring' was derived, with transposition of the consonants, Quenya ehtele, Sindarin eithel. kemen 'earth' in Kementari; a Quenya word referring to the earth as a flat floor beneath menel, the heavens. kheliek-'ice' in Helcar, Helcaraxe (Quenya helka 'icy, ice-cold').

From the sense 'pass swiftly through' was derived Quenya cirya 'sharp-prowed ship' (cf. English cutter), and this meaning appears also in Cirdan, Tar-Ciryatan, and no doubt in the name of Isildur's son Ciryon. lad 'plain, valley' in Dagorlad, Himlad; imlad a narrow valley with steep sides, in Imladris (cf. also Imlad Morgul in the Ephel Duath). laure 'gold' (but of light and colour, not of the metal) in Laurelin; the Sindarin forms in Gloredhel, Glorfindel, Loeg Ningloron, Lorindol, Rathloriel. lhach 'leaping flame' m Dagor Bragollach, and probably in Anglachel (the sword made by Eol of meteoric iron). lin (1) 'pool, mere' in Linaewen (which contains aew [Quenya aiwe] 'small bird'), Teiglin; cf. aelin. lin- (2) This root, meaning 'sing, make a musical sound', occurs in Ainulindale, Laurelin, Lindar, Lindon, Ered Lindon, lomelindi. lith 'ash' in Anfauglith, Dor-nu-Fauglith; also in Ered Lithui, the Ashen Mountains, forming the northern border of Mordor, and Lithlad 'Plain of Ashes* at the feet of Ered Lithui. lok-'bend, loop' in Uruloki (Quenya [h]loke 'snake, serpent', Sindarin Ihug). lom 'echo' in Dor-lomin, Ered Lomin; related are Lammoth, Lanthir Lamath. lome 'dusk' m Lomion, lomelindi; see du. londe 'land-locked haven' in Alqualonde; the Sindarin form lond (lonn) in Mithlond. los 'snow' in Oiolosse (Quenya oio 'ever' and losse 'snow, snow-white'); Sindarin loss in Amon Uilos and Aeglos. loth 'flower' in Lothlorien, Nimloth; Quenya lote in Ninquelote, Vingilote. luin 'blue' in Ered Luin, Helluin, Luinil, Mindolluin. maeg 'sharp, piercing' (Quenya maika) in Maeglin. mal-'gold' in Malduin, Malinalda; also m mallorn, and in the Field of Cormallen, which means 'golden circle' and was named from the culumalda trees that grew there (see cul-). man-'good, blessed, unmarred' in Aman, Manwe; derivatives of Aman in Amandil, Araman, Umanyar. mel-'love' in Melian (from Melyanna 'dear gift'); this stem is seen also in the Sindarin word mellon 'friend' m the inscription on the West-gate of Moria. men 'way' in Numen, Hyarmen, Romen, Formen. menel 'the heavens' m Meneldil, Menelmacar, Meneltarma. mereth 'feast' in Mereth Aderthad; also in Merethrond, the Hall of Feasts in Minas Tirith. minas 'tower' in Annuminas, Minas Anor, Minas Tirith, etc. The same stem. occurs in other words referring to isolated, prominent, things, e.g. Mindolluin, Mindon; probably related is Quenya minya 'first' (cf.

The Sindarin forms have p (or b) for qu; e.g. pedo 'speak' in the inscription on the West-gate of Moria, corresponding to the Quenya stem quet; and Gandalf's words before the gate, lasto beth lammen 'listen to the words of my tongue', where beth 'word' corresponds to Quenya quetta. ram 'wall' (Quenya ramba) in Andram, Ramdal; also in Rammas Echor, the wall about the Pelennor Fields at Minas Tirith. ras horn' in Barad Nimras, also in Caradhras ('Redhorn') and Methedras ('Last Peak') in the Misty Mountains; ran' wander, stray' in Rana, the Moon, and in Mithrandir, Aerandir; also in the river Gilraen in Gondor. rant 'course' in the river-names Adurant (with adu 'double') and Celebrant ('Silverlode').
