place name. Lofty Tower of the Eldalië

The high tower of Ingwë at the summit of Túna in the city of Tirion (S/59), in some places simply called Mindon (S/70). This name is a combination of mindon “(lofty) tower” and the possessive form of Eldalië “Elven-folk”.

Conceptual Development: In Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s this tower was called ᴹQ. Ingwemindon the “Tower of Ingwë” (LR/222).
