hithlû

place name. Hithlum

The proper Sindarin name of NS. Hithlum (itself North Sindarin), since in Western Sindarin phonology a primitive [[s|final [m] became a nasalized [v]]], which was then absorbed by the preceding [u] (PE17/133).

Conceptual Development: A form N. Cílu appearing linguistic notes from the 1930s might be an early “true Noldorin” name for Hithlum (PE21/32).

Hithlum

Mist-shadow

Hithlum is a North Sindarin word, meaning "Mist-shadow" (hith + lum); its Quenya counterpart is Hisilómë (pron. , stem Hisilómi-). Its Sindarin name is said to be Hithlũ.

Tolkien initially marked the word as Noldorin; its second element was cognate to Quenya lumbe.

Hísilómë (þ) place-name "Hithlum", "Land of Mist", more literally *"Mist-night" (SA:hîth, LUM, [VT45:28])

hísilómë

place name. Land of Mist, (lit.) Mist-and-Dusk

The Quenya name of NS. Hithlum (S/118). It is usually glossed “Land of Mist”, but it is a compound of hísë (hísi-) “mist” and lómë “dusk”, so a more literal translation would be “Mist-and-Dusk” (given as a translation of Hithlum on LR/406).

Conceptual Development: This name dates back to the earliest Lost Tales, where ᴱQ. Hisilóme was translated “Shadowy Twilights” (LT1/112) or “Misty-gloom” (PE15/63). It was a compound of ᴱQ. híse “dusk” and ᴱQ. lóme “gloom, darkness”, as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT1A/Hisilómë). In Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s, ᴹQ. Hisilóme was translated “Twilit Mist” (SM/4) and “Land of Mist” (SM/101). The name appeared in The Etymologies with the same form but a slightly different derivation, with its second element originally derived from ᴹQ. lumbe “gloom, shadow” (Ety/LUM).
