Fui

noun. (unknown meaning)

fui ’ngorthrim

place name. Paths of the Dead

Sindarin name for the Paths of the Dead appearing in Tolkien’s “Unfinished Index” of The Lord of the Rings (RC/526). The initial element fui is apparently the plural of an otherwise unattested noun fû “path”. The second element is the lenited class-plural of gorth “dead (person)”, which also appears in Dor Gyrth i Chuinar “Land of the Dead that Live” as its ordinarly plural.

Conceptual Development: This name replaced a deleted form Raith ’Ngorthrim.
