A word for “closed” (RC/550) or “shut” (PE17/98) in the name Fen Hollen (LotR/826). It was derived from √KHOL or SKOL “shut, close” (PE17/98) and thus hollen might be the passive participle of an otherwise unattested verb hol- “to close, shut”.
Conceptual Development: Lord of the Rings drafts of the 1940s had N. forn, fornen, or N. davnan for this name (WR/338, 341).
