Lambengolmor is a Quenya word, glossed as "Loremasters of Tongues" in one manuscript. In another manuscript, the alternative spelling Lambeñgolmor is seen, and also glossed as "lingustic loremasters". Helge Fauskanger has noted that only the plural form is attested, of a possible singular form Lambengolmo. The word consists of lambe ("tongue, language") + ingolmo ("loremaster").
