tínen
adjective. silent
dor dínen
place name. Silent Land
An uninhabited land in Beleriand, translated “Silent Land” (S/121, WJ/194), a combination of dôr “land” and dínen “silent” (SA/dîn).
Conceptual Development: In Silmarillion revisions from the 1950s-60s, Tolkien also used the form Dor Dhínen (WJ/333), reflecting uncertainty over the proper form of the adjective dínen.
Dor Dínen
noun. silent land
(n-)dôr(“land, dwelling-place”), dîn (“silence”) + en (adjective suffix) #The lack of lenition might be explained by Tolkien's dislike for “uncouth” digraph dh.
rath dínen
place name. Silent Street
A street in Minas Tirith translated “Silent Street” (LotR/826), a combination of rath “street” and (possibly lenited) dínen “silent” (RC/551).
Conceptual Development: When it first appeared in Lord of the Rings drafts from the 1940s, this name was already Rath Dínen (WR/288).
dínen
silent
dínen (lenited dhínen, pl. dínin). In certain sources, Tolkien seems to presuppose that the unlenited form is actually tínen, with dínen as the lenited form, but elsewhere it is implied that dínen is the basic form, hence dhínen as the lenited variant.
