S. Losgar loc.
Place where Fëanor ordered the burning of the ships that brought his followers to Beleriand (S/90). The meaning of this name is unclear.
Conceptual Development: In this use, the name N. Losgar first appeared in Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s (LR/125). In the earliest Lost Tales, however, the name G. Losgar was applied to a region in Tol Eressea, revised to G. Gar Lossion “Place of Flowers” (LT1/16, 21). It seems unlikely that this earlier name was a direct precursor of the later one.
