lond

noun. (land-locked) haven, (land-locked) haven; [N.] narrow path, strait, pass

A Sindarin word for “haven”, used for example in the names Forlond “North Haven” and Harlond “South Haven” (LotR/1050). In a document from the late 1960s, Tolkien gave this word as S. lond, lonn “haven” in keeping with his vacillation on whether final nd became nd in Sindarin monosyllables, and in this document he derived lond/lonn from the (untranslated) root √LON (VT42/10).

Conceptual Development: A precursor to this word from The Etymologies of the 1930s was N. lhonn “narrow path, strait, pass” derived from ᴹ✶londē under the root ᴹ√LOD (Ety/LOD). In The Etymologies, the word for “haven” as instead N. lhorn “narrow path, strait, pass” derived from the root ᴹ√LUR “be quiet, still, calm”; its full translation was “quiet water, anchorage, haven, harbour” (EtyAC/LUR). In Lord of the Rings drafts of the 1940s Tolkien said [N.] lorn meant “haven” (TI/423), and the North and South Havens were N. Forlorn and N. Harlorn (TI/301).

These were revised to Forlond and Harlond for the published version of The Lord of the Rings, by which point it seems l(h)orn “haven” was abandoned and lond meant only “haven” rather than “pass, strait”. The only exception seems to be its use in Aglon(d) “Narrow Pass” (SI/Aglon), but that name could be a remnant of earlier ideas.
