Rammas Echor
place name. Rammas Echor
orfalch echor
place name. *High Cleft of the Outer Circle
A ravine in the Echoriath leading to Gondolin (S/239). This name seems to be a combination of [N.] or “above”, falch “cleft” and echor “outer circle”, perhaps meaning “✱High Cleft of the Outer Circle”.
Conceptual Development: In the earliest Lost Tales, a similar ravine was named G. Glorfalc “Golden Cleft” (LT2/150), whose the final element G. falc “cleft” resembles the element in the later name, possibly of the same meaning.
rammas echor
place name. Great Wall of the Outer Circle
The wall around the Pelennor (LotR/750) translated “Great Wall of the Outer Circle”, a combination of rammas “great wall” and echor “outer circle” (SA/ram, echor; RC/512).
Conceptual Development: In Lord of the Rings drafts from the 1940s, this name variously appeared as N. Corramas (WR/340), Ramas Coren and Rammas Ephel (WR/288).
