falas

place name. Western Shore, (lit.) Coast

Region on the coast of Beleriand (S/58). This name is simply the word falas “shore, coast” used as a name (SA/falas). This name sometimes appears with the definite article: i Falas “The Coast” (VT42/15, Ety/PHAL). It sometimes was translated “Western Shore/Coast” (LR/128, Ety/PHAL), but the word for “west” did not appear in its Sindarin name.

Conceptual Development: This name first appeared as N. Falas in Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s (SM/121, LR/128), and in The Etymologies already had the derivation given above (Ety/PHAL).

dúven

noun. *sunken, western

A word in The Etymologies of the 1930s appearing under the root ᴹ√NDŪ “go down, sink, set (of Sun, etc.)” with a hard-to-read gloss (Ety/NDŪ). Superficially, it seems to be a cognate of ᴹQ. númen “western”, but Christopher Tolkien read the gloss as “(?southern)”, though he marked this reading as uncertain. In a discussion on the Lambengolmor mailing list from 2005, Patrick Wynne indicated that the D was capitalized, and the gloss might actually be “✱sunken”, so perhaps being another name for sunken Númenor, based on a later iteration of ᴱN. nuv-/G. num- “sink”.
