Q. Rómenna loc. “Eastwards”

Q. Rómenna, loc. “Eastwards”

A city on the east coast of Númenor (S/268, UT/165), it was the allative form of rómen “east”, and thus meant “Eastwards”.

Conceptual Development: Christopher Tolkien suggested that the earliest precursor of this name might be ᴹQ. Morionde appearing in the earliest versions of the “Fall of Númenor” (LR/74). In the tales of Númenor associated with “The Notion Club Papers”, this city is named ᴹQ. Rómelónan >> Rómelonde “East-haven” (SD/315), where its second element was ᴹQ. londe.
