For ang ‘iron’ see Angamandi. GL has ol, уla ‘cliff, seaward precipice’, with Qenya forms ollo, old

. ere(n) ‘iron or steel’ is given in QL, and this element appears also in the alternative name Eremandu for Angamandu, ‘Hells of Iron’.

Eruman The names of this region are as difficult as the original conception of the region itself (see p. 91 ff.). The form Erumбni (which occurs in the Tales as well as Eruman) appears in QL under ERE ‘out’ (cf. Neni Erъmлar) without further information. GL has a long entry under Edhofon, which="Q." Erumбni: it is a ‘dark land outside Valinor and to the south of the Bay of Faлry, that ran right up to the bases of the western side of the Mountains of Valinor; its farthest northern point touched upon the roots of Taniquetil, hence Edhofon < Eрusm

n -, i.e. beyond the abode of the Mбnir. Hence also the Q. title Afalinan or Arvalion, i.e. nigh Valinor.’ The implication of this seems to be that Taniquetil was ‘the abode of the Mбnir’, as is comprehensible, since the Mбnir were particularly associated with Manwл (the Gnomish words mуna, mуni are defined as ‘spirits of the air, children of Manwл’), and therefore Eruman was beyond (south of) their abode. See Mбnir.

GL also states that Edhofon was called Garioth; and Garioth is ‘the true Gnome form’ of the name Aryador (a word of Ilkorin origin) ‘land of shadow’, though applied not to Hisilуmл but to Edhofon / Eruman.

According to QL Harwalin ‘near the Valar’ contains har(e) ‘near’ the entries in GL are too confusing to cite, for the forms of Harwalin / Arvalin were changed over and over again. A late entry in GL gives a prefix ar- ‘beside, along with’. For Habbanan see Valar.

Falassл Nъmлa Translated in the text (p. 124) as ‘Western Surf’ see Falman, Nъmл.

Falman In QL the root FALA has derivatives falma ‘foam’, falmar ‘wave as it breaks’, falas(s) ‘shore, beach’, Falman="Ossл" cf. Falassл Nъmea, Falmarнni. GL has falm ‘breaker, wave’, falos ‘sea-marge, surf’, Falmon or Falathron ‘names of Otha [Ossл], ="Q." Falman and Falassar’.

Falmarнni See Falman.

Fanturi In QL fantur, without translation but with reference to Lуrien and Mandos, is given under root FANA, with several derivatives all referring to visions, dreams, falling asleep. In GL (a late entry) the form is Fanthor, plural i·Fanthaurin ‘the name of each of the two brothers, of sleep, of death’.

Fanuin GL has fann ‘a year’. For the rejected names Lathos, Lathweg (p. 222) see Gonlath.

Faskala-nъmen, Faskalan Translated in the text (p. 187) as ‘Bath of the Setting Sun’. GL has fas- ‘wash’, fasc ‘clean’, fasca- ‘splash, sprinkle’, fфs ‘bath’. For—nъmen see Nъmл.

Fлanor The only evidence for the meaning of this name is given under Fionwл-Ъrion.

Fingolma See Nуlemл.

Finwл As a proper name this is not in the dictionaries, but GL gives a common noun finweg ‘craftsman, man of skill’ (with fim ‘clever; right hand’ and other related words); for -weg see Bronweg. In QL derivatives of root FINI are finwa ‘sagacious’, finiл, findл ‘cunning’. See Nуlemл.

Fionwл-ъrionFion ‘son’ is given separately in QL (a hurried later addition), with the note ‘especially Fion(wл) the Vala’. In Gnomish he is ‘Auros Fionweg, or Fionaur Fionor’. In a later entry in GL ‘Fionaur (Fionor)="Q." Fлanor (goblet-smith)’, and among the original entries is fion ‘bowl, goblet’. There is no indication that this refers to Fлanor the Gnome.

For the second element (Ъrion, Auros) see Ыr. In the Valar namelist Fionwл is called Kalmo; see Galmir.

Fui In QL are hui ‘fog, dark, murk, night’ and huiva ‘murky’, and also ‘Fui (=hui) wife of Vк’. In Gnomish she is Fuil ‘Queen of the Dark’, and related words are fui ‘night’, fuin ‘secret, dark’.

fumellar The ‘flowers of sleep’ (poppies) in Lуrien’s gardens (p. 74). QL under root FUMU ‘sleep’ has fъmл ‘sleep’ (noun), fъmella, fъmellot ‘poppy’.

Galmir Translated in the text (p. 187) as ‘the goldgleamer’ (a name of the Sun). This is a derivative of Gnomish gal- ‘shine’, which in Qenya is KALA ‘shine golden’, and of which a great many derivatives are given in QL, as kala- ‘shine’, kбlл ‘morning’, kalma ‘daylight’, Kalainis ‘May’ (see Erinti), kalwa ‘beautiful’, etc. Cf. Kalormл, Kalaventл, and i·kal’ antъlien ‘Light bath returned’ (p. 184).

Gar Lossion Translated in the text (p. 16) as ‘Place of Flowers’ (Gnomish name of Alalminуrл). For Gar see Dor Faidwen. GL gives lost ‘blossom’ and lфs ‘flower’, but it is noted that they are probably unconnected and that lфs is more likely to be related to lass ‘leaf’, also used to mean ‘petal’. (QL has lassл ‘leaf’, lasselanta ‘the Fall, Autumn’.) See Lindelos.

Glorvent For the element Glor- see Laurelin.—GL had Glorben(d) ‘ship of gold’, changed later to Glorvent ‘boat of gold’ benn ‘shape, cut, fashion’, benc, bent ‘small boat’. QL has the root VENE ‘shape, cut out, scoop’, with derivatives veniл, venwл ‘shape, cut’ and venл ‘small boat, vessel, dish’. Cf. the title of the ‘World-Ship’ drawing, I Vene Kemen (see p. 85), and the Sun’s name i·Kalaventл (Kalavйnл).

Golfinweg See Nуlemл, Finwл.

Gondolin QL does not give this name, but ondo ‘stone’ appears under root ONO ‘hard’. In GL Gondolin is said to="Qenya" Ondolin (changed to Ondolinda) ‘singing stone’. There is also an entry gond ‘great stone, rock’ later this was changed to gonn, and a note added that Gondolin-Gonn Dolin, together with an entry dуlin ‘song’. See Lindelos.

Gong GL gives no other information beyond that cited on p. 245, note 10, but compares sithagong ‘dragonfly’ (sitha ‘fly’, Sithaloth or Sithaloctha (‘fly-cluster’), the Pleiades).

Gonlath This is the name of the great rock on Taniquetil to which Fanuin’s cable was tied (p. 219); the second element must therefore be Gnomish lath ‘a year’, which appears also in the rejected names for Fanuin, Lathos and Lathweg (p. 222). For Gon- see Gondolin.
