The acute accent in nín has sometimes been regarded as an error for a slanted macron in the manuscript, since all the other attested personal adjectives from Sauron defeated all have a circumflex accent. It was however noted that if the acute accent is confirmed, then this word is probably an enclitic, see HL/73. The acute accent is now confirmed by VT/44

place name. Wetwang
The fens below the falls of Rauros, translated “Wetwang” (LotR/373). This name is a combination of nîn “wet” and the lenited form of talf “flat field” (PE17/52, 61; RC/779).
Conceptual Development: In Lord of the Rings drafts from the 1940s, this region was first named N. Palath Nenui “Wetwang” (TI/268), soon revised to N. Nindalf (TI/281).
