from the first Map (such as the large island lying off the coast west of
Drengist; the Mountains of Mithrim; the eastern tributary arm of
Gelion; the isle of Balar), but I shall not here make a detailed comparison
between the two. It will be seen that at this stage my father entered
remarkably few names on the new map - far fewer than were in existence,
in marked contrast to the old one, which names Ivrin, Thangorodrim,
Angband, Mount Dolm, the Hill of Spies, the great mountain-chains,
etc. On the second map such features as Lake Ivrin and Mount Dolm are
nonetheless shown, and of course some names added in roughly later
may well go back to the early period; but as this is impossible to tell I have
omitted everything in the redrawing that is not original. I cannot explain
the mountain blacked-in to the west of Ivrin (square D5), nor the large
mound, if that is what it is, between Sirion and Mindeb (E8), nor again
the curious circular bay on the coast below Drengist (C3). On the very
strange representation of Thangorodrim, isolated in a circle of smaller
peaks, see p. 271.
Especially interesting is the appearance of Tavrobel in the Forest of
Brethil. In the literary texts of this period Tavrobel is named only in the
preamble to AV i (cited on p. 201), as Pengolod's home in Tol Eressea
'after his return unto the West', where AElfwine (Eriol) saw and trans-
lated the Annals; from this preamble was developed that to QS (p. 203),
where however the name is written Tathrobel. On the other hand, in the
Etymologies (stem PEL(ES)) Tavrobel is mentioned as the 'village of
Turin in the forest of Brethil, and name of village in Tol Eressea'; the
first element is Noldorin tafr, tavor, 'woodpecker' (TAM), and the second
means '(fenced) village' (Qenya opele, Noldorin gobel). The following
evidences thus appear:
(1) In the earliest legends Tavrobel (originally translated 'wood-
home', I. 267) had likewise a double meaning: it was Great Haywood in
Staffordshire in England, and it bore, according to complex and
changing conceptions by this time long since lost, a particular relation to
Gilfanon's home of the same name in Tol Eressea (see II. 292 - 3 310).
(2) Haywood was in Old English baeg-wudu 'enclosed wood' (II.

328).
(3) Later (in the post-Lord of the Rings period) the dwellings of the
Men of Brethil to whom Turin came were ca1led Ephel Brandir 'the
encircling fence of Brandir' (ephel derived from et-pel 'outer fence'), and
this village was on an eminence in the forest called Amon Obel.
(4) In the Etymologies, Tavrobel is still the name of two places, the

village of the Woodmen in Brethil, and a village in Tol Eressea, where (in
the preambles to A V x and QS) Pengolod (successor, as I have argued in
IV. 274, to Gilfanon) dwelt.
But there is no indication at all why Tavrobel should still be used twice
in this way. It may be thought that my father did not wish finally to
abandon this old and deep association of his youth; and it is tempting
therefore to see his bestowal at this time of the name Tavrobel in this way
and in this place as an echo of Great Haywood, and perhaps not entirely
fanciful to wonder whether he was influenced by the confluence of the
