N. cîl n. “cleft, pass between hills, gorge” (Category: Ravine, Pass)

⚠️N. cîl, n. “cleft, pass between hills, gorge” (Category: Ravine, Pass)
S. cirith “cleft, ravine, defile, [N.] pass”

A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s, the equivalent of ᴹQ. kilya “cleft, pass between hills, gorge” and a derivative of ᴹ√KIL “divide” (Ety/KIL). Its most notable use was in the transient name N. Cilthoron(dor); this name eventually became S. Cirith Thoronath “Eagles’ Cleft”, so likely N. cîl became S. cirith.
