Name for “The Angle” in Lórien (LotR/347), more accurately translated as “Elven-point” in Tolkien’s “Unfinished Index” of The Lord of the Rings (RC/307). This name is apparently combination of the prefixal form Egla- of Eglan “Forsaken (Elf)” and the lenited form of till “point”.
Conceptual Development: In Lord of the Rings drafts from the 1940s, this name first appeared as N. Nelen, initially translated “Gore” (TI/242) or but later translated “Angle” as opposed to N. Narthas “Gore” (TI/288). This was revised to N. Calendil (TI/268) and ultimately to Egladil for the published version of The Lord of the Rings (TI/287-8 notes #5-7).
