Corollairë ("Korollairë"), place-name; see Coron Oiolairë.

Corlairë

corlairë

Corlairë ("k"), place-name, apparently shortened from Corollairë, Coron Oiolairë (MR:107)

corollairë

place name. Green Mound, *(lit.) Mound of Summer

The green mound where the Two Trees of Valinor stood (S/38). This name is a compound of coron “mound” and lairë “summer”, with the n assimilated to the l. It is a translation of Valarin Ezellōχār (WJ/401). The (Vanyarin?) name Ezellohar is a direct adaptation of the Valarin name. The name is generally glossed “Green Mound”, but the literal meaning of the Quenya name is “✱Mound of Summer”.

coron

noun. mound, mound; [ᴹQ.] globe, ball

A word glossed “mound” in the name Koron Oiolaire “Mound Ever-summer” in the Quendi and Eldar essay from 1959-60, also an element in Corollairë “Green Mound” from The Silmarillion (WJ/401; S/38; SA/coron). In The Etymologies of the 1930s, however, ᴹQ. koron was glossed “globe, ball” and was derived from the root ᴹ√KOR “round” (Ety/KOR). If “globe” is its primary meaning, then perhaps it could also refer to round hills as hemispheres.

In The Etymologies, its stem form was korn- as indicated by its (Middle Quenya) genitive kornen, likely the result of the Quenya syncope. The same reduction in inflected forms may apply to the later version of the word as well.

Ezellohar

the green mound

Ezellohar noun "the Green Mound" where the Two Trees grew; adopted and adapted from Valarin; also translated as Coron Oiolairë, Corollairë (WJ:401). The name must have become *Erellohar in Exilic (Noldorin) Quenya.
