calendil

place name. Green-tine

An earlier name for S. Egladil that appeared in Lord of the Rings drafts from the 1940s along with variant Calennil (TI/268), glossed “Green-tine” or “Green Spit” (TI/268, 288). It seems to be a combination of N. calen “green” and the lenited form of till “horn” also seen in its later name.
