Q. Eldanna loc. “*Elf-wards”

Q. Eldanna, loc. “*Elf-wards”

A bay in western Númenor to which the Elves of Tol Eressëa usually came, so called because it faced towards Eressëa (UT/167). This name was the allative form of Elda “Elf”, and thus meant “*Elf-wards”, similar to the names Elenna “Starwards” and Rómenna “Eastwards” (UTI/Eldanna).
