N. Tolharn loc. “Stoneait”

N. Tolharn, loc. “Stoneait”
Early name for Tol Brandir in Lord of the Rings drafts from the 1940s, also appearing as Tollernen and glossed “Stoneait” (TI/324, 345), where “ait” is an archaic English word for “island in a river”. It seems to be a combination of toll “island” and a lenited form of sarn “stone”, as suggested by Roman Rausch, though he suggested the form Tollernen may instead contain an adjective *ernen “single” (EE/2.36) [but this does not match the gloss].

N. Toll-ondren loc. “Carrock”

Early name for Tol Brandir in Lord of the Rings drafts from the 1940s, glossed “Carrock” and also appearing as (deleted) Toll-ondu and Toll-onnui (TI/268, 285). It seems to be a combination of toll “island” and a lenited form of an otherwise unattested adjective gondren “*of stone”, as suggested by Roman Rausch (EE/2.36).
