calembel

place name. Calembel

An earlier name for S. Parth Galen that appeared in Lord of the Rings drafts from the 1940s (TI/382), also appearing in variant forms Calenbel (TI/371), Calledin (WR/301) and Calembrith (WR/307). These forms all seem to contain N. calen “green”, but the meaning of the second element not entirely clear; Roman Rausch offered several suggestions in his analysis of these forms (EE/3.32). The name S. Calembel was later used for the name of a town in Gondor.
