S. Lasgalen pn. “Green of Leaf”
Another name for Q. Laurelin translated “Green of Leaf” (MR/155), a combination of lass “leaf” and the lenited form of calen “green”.
Conceptual Development: In Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s, this name appeared as N. Lhasgalen (LR/210), and Lhasgalen also appeared in The Etymologies with the translation “Greenleaf” and essentially the same derivation given above (Ety/LAS¹).
