Hills of Evendim

The hills above Lake Nenuial in the north of Middle-earth, called by the Elves Emyn Uial. They overlooked the ancient Arnorian capital of Annúminas.


Notes

1

'Evendim' is a word composed of English elements, as a poetic translation of the Elvish name Uial, literally meaning 'twilight'. The first element comes ultimately from Old English æfen (the source of modern English 'evening'), so an initial long 'e' sound is not unlikely.
