S. Arnen loc. “Beside the Water”
A name attested as an element in Emyn Arnen (LotR/750). In an essay on The Rivers and Beacon-hills of Gondor (VT42/5-31), Tolkien indicated the name was incorrectly assembled by the local people from a mixture of Quenya and Sindarin elements: Q. ar- “beside” and S. nen “water”, thus meaning “Beside the Water” (VT42/17).
