192 - 3) that both the meaning of the name and its application were
changed, so that Ered-lomin 'Shadowy Mountains', to the east and
south of Hithlum, as in Q, became Ered-lomin 'Echoing Mountains',
the coastal range west of Hithlum; and at the same time the meaning of
Dor-lomin changed from 'Land of Shadows' to 'Land of Echoes'. In
the List of Names as originally made the new name for the mountains
east and south of Hithlum, Eredwethion 'Shadowy Mountains',
already appears (with the etymology gwath 'shadow'), and there is
here therefore a halfway stage, when Ered-lomin (-lumin) had become
the name of the coastal range but did not yet have the significance
'Echoing'. There is no doubt an etymological halfway stage also,
which I take to be the explanation of the lumin form (found also
in Dor-lumin on the second Map): the source was now the stem
LUM, given in the Etymologies as the source of Hith-lum (and of Q
Hisilumbe, changed to Hisilome under the influence of lome 'night':
Q lumbe 'gloom, shadow'). Hence the translation here 'Gloomy
Mountains', which is not found elsewhere. Finally the interpretation
'Echoing' arose, with derivation of -lomin from the stem LAM.
Fingolfin The cairn of Fingolfin is called Sarnas Fingolfin.
Fuin Daidelos 'Night of Dread's Shadow' or 'Deadly Nightshade' is
given as a name of Taur-na-Fuin.
Gothmog '= Voice of Goth (Morgoth), an Orc-name.' Morgoth is
explained at its place in the list as 'formed from his Orc-name Goth
"Lord or Master", with mor "dark or black" prefixed.' These entries in
the List of Names have been discussed in II. 67. In the Etymologies the
element goth is differently explained in Gothmog (GOS, GOTH) and in
Morgoth (KOT, but with a suggestion that the name 'may also contain
GOTH ).
Gurtholfin was subsequently changed to Gurtholvin and then to
Gurtholf. Gurtholfin > Gurtholf also in AB 2, note 39; see the
Etymologies, stems GOLOB and NGUR.
Hithlum is translated 'Mist-and-Dusk'; see the Etymologies, stems
KHIS and LUM.
Kuivienen The Noldorin name Nen Echui is given; this is found in the
Etymologies, stem KUY.
Morgoth See Gothmog.
Orcs 'Gnomish orch, pl. eirch, erch; Qenya ork, orqui borrowed from
Gnomish. A folk devised and brought into being by Morgoth to war on
Elves and Men; sometimes translated "Goblins", but they were of
nearly human stature.' See the entry OROK in the Etymologies.
Sarn Athrad is translated 'Stone of Crossing'.
Sirion The length of Sirion is given as 'about goo miles' from Eithil
Sirion to the Delta. In QS $ 107 the length of the river from the Pass of
Sirion to the Delta is 121 leagues, which if measured in a straight line
from the northern opening of the Pass agrees with the scale on the
second Map of 3'2 Cm. = 50 miles (see p. 272). But the List of Names

and the original drawing of the second Map were associated, and two
of the references given in the list are made to the Map, so that the figure
of goo miles (300 leagues) is hard to account for.
