cirith gorgor

place name. Haunted Pass

The main entrance into Mordor, translated “Haunted Pass” (LotR/636). This name is a combination of cirith “cleft, pass” and gorgor “haunting fear” (RC/334-5).

Conceptual Development: In Lord of the Rings drafts from the 1940s, this name first appeared in some notes as N. Kirith Naglath “Cleft of the Teeth” (WR/137), whose second element seems to be a variant class plural of N. neleg “tooth”. It was changed in the text to Kirith Gorgor “Dreadful Pass” (WR/122).
