rodos
noun. cavern
A noun for “cavern” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s based on the early root ᴱ√roto (GL/65). In early editions of the Gnomish Lexicon as published, the form was incorrectly given as rodrin, but errata confirmed that word actually meant “cylindrical” and the word for “cavern” was properly rodos (PEE for issue 11), as reported by Christopher Tolkien (LTA2/Rothwarin).

Middle Primitive Elvish
gattā
noun. cavern
A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “cavern” derived from the root ᴹ√GAT(H), an element in the name N. Doriath “Land of the Cave” (Ety/GAT(H)). In later writings S. Doriath was redefined as “Land of the Fence” with final element S. iath “fence” (WJ/370), so N. gath “cavern” was probably abandoned.
