N. Fenn Uiforn loc. “Ever Closed [Door]”

N. Fenn Uiforn, loc. “Ever Closed [Door]”

Earlier name for S. Fen Hollen in Lord of the Rings drafts from the 1940s glossed “Ever Closed” (WR/341), a combination of fenn “door”, ui¹ “ever” and forn(en) “closed”. Nearby Tolkien wrote Uidavnen and davnan, possibly alternate words for “(ever)-closed”.

See S. Fen Hollen for further discussion.
