Waterfall near the house of Dior whose spray inspired the name of his daughter Elwing (S/235). The name was translated “Waterfall of Echoing Voices” (PM/349), a combination of lanthir “waterfall” and the class-plural of lam “echo”. As pointed out by Christoper Tolkien, this name is undoubtedly related to NS. lóm “echo” (SA/lóm).
