calenhir

place name. *Green River

A river in the early maps of Gondor (TI/312, WR/436), removed by the time The Lord of the Rings was published. It is a compound of calen “green” and -hir, the lenited form of sîr “river”.

calendil

place name. Green-tine

An earlier name for S. Egladil that appeared in Lord of the Rings drafts from the 1940s along with variant Calennil (TI/268), glossed “Green-tine” or “Green Spit” (TI/268, 288). It seems to be a combination of N. calen “green” and the lenited form of till “horn” also seen in its later name.

calembel

place name. Calembel

An earlier name for S. Parth Galen that appeared in Lord of the Rings drafts from the 1940s (TI/382), also appearing in variant forms Calenbel (TI/371), Calledin (WR/301) and Calembrith (WR/307). These forms all seem to contain N. calen “green”, but the meaning of the second element not entirely clear; Roman Rausch offered several suggestions in his analysis of these forms (EE/3.32). The name S. Calembel was later used for the name of a town in Gondor.
