A New New Home by Tehta
Fanwork Notes
This story would flow so much better in Elvish. Imagine, I would not need to translate (many) of the names!
(Only, which Elvish.)
A place-name glossary:
Vinyamar: New Home (Quenya)
Nevrast: Hither Shore (Sindarin)
Hithlum: Mist Gloom (Sindarin)
Tumladen: Wide Valley (Sindarin)
And the Seven Names of Gondolin, in order of appearance, in ‘Gnomish’(an early invented language Tolkien later abandoned, but let’s not worry about that) unless otherwise noted:
Gwarestrin: Tower of Guard
Gar Thurion: Secret Place
>>> bonus >>> Ondolinde, Rock of the Music of Water (Quenya)
Lothengriol: Flower that Blooms on the Plain
Gondothlimbar: City of the Dwellers in Stone
Gondobar: City of Stone
Loth: Flower
Gondolin: Hidden Rock (Sindarin), supposedly based on Ondolinde
