cú 'bow' in Cúthalion; Dor Cúarthol; Laer Cú Beleg。
cuivi? 'awakening' in Cuiviénen (Sindarin Nen Echui)。 Other derivatives of the same root are Dor

d?r '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
nór? meaning 'people'; in origin Valinór? was strictly 'the people of the Valar'; but Valandor 'the land of the Valar';
and similarly Númen(n)ór? 'people of the West'; but Númendor '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。
dú 'night; dimness' in Deldúwath; Ephel Dúath。 Derived from earlier d?m?; whence Quenya lóm?; thus
Sindarin dúlin 'nightingale' corresponds to lómelind?。

(named from its source)。 See kel…。
êl; 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 êl 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。

gond 'stone' in Gondolin; Gondor; Gonnhirrim; Argonath; seregon。 The name of the hidden city of King
Turgon was devised by him in Quenya as Ondolind? (Quenya ondo= Sindarin gond; and lind? 'singing; song'); but it
was known always in legend in the Sindarin form Gondolin; which was probably interpreted as gond…dolen 'Hidden
Rock'。

Gorgoroth。
groth (grod) 'delving; underground dwelling' m Menegroth; Nogrod (probably also in Nimrodel; 'lady of the white

gul 'sorcery' in Dol Guldur; Minas Morgul。 This word was derived from the same ancient stem ngol… that
appears in Noldor; cf。 Quenya nól? 'long study; lore; knowledge'。 But the Sindarin word was darkened in sense by its
frequent use in the pound morgul 'black arts'。

ilúv? 'the whole; the all' in Ilúvatar。
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 a
connexion was often made; and the name altered to Galadhriel。 In the High…elven speech her name was Al(a)táriel;
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。

galvorn)。
khil… 'follow' in Hildor; Hildórien; Eluchíl。
kir… 'cut; cleave' in Calacirya; Cirth; Angerthas; Cirith (Ninniach; Thoronath)。 From the sense 'pass swiftly
through' was derived Quenya círya 'sharp…prowed ship' (cf。 English cutter); and this meaning appears also in Círdan;
Tar…Ciryatan; and no doubt in the name of Isildur's son Círyon。
lad 'plain; valley' in Dagorlad; Himlad; imlad a narrow valley wit
