uimallen

adjective. ever-golden

Another name of the mallorn tree in notes on the Common Eldarin Article (CEA) from 1969, appearing as uimallhen “ever-golden” < ✶oio-maltinā (PE23/140). This word is unusual in that the medial m does not mutate to v, but in CEA Tolkien was exploring the idea that m did not always mutate in later Sindarin compounts (PE23/138 note #12). In normal Sindarin orthography the voiceless llh would be represented as ll: ✱uimallen. Compare malhorn from CEA (PE23/140) vs. mallorn from The Lord of the Rings (LotR/346).
