Narog
In the Etymologies, the river's name was stated to mean "rushing, violent". However, in a later writing by Tolkien, the Sindarin name Narog was given two possible Khuzdul origins: Narâg and naruka, both of unknown meaning. In Eriol's Old English translations, Narog is referred as Hlyda "Loudy". The Elves of Nargothrond were named Hlydingas.
nargothrond
place name. *Underground Fortress of Narog
The hidden fortress city of the Noldor called the “Caverns of Narog” (S/114) and described as “the great underground burg and halls upon the river Narog” (WJ/414). This name is a combination of the river name Narog and othrond “underground stronghold” (WJ/414).
Conceptual Development: This name first appeared in Lays of Beleriand from the 1920s as ᴱN. Nargothrond (LB/36) and it remained the same thereafter. The name N. Nargothrond appeared in The Etymologies from the 1930s with the translation “fortress of Narog” and the derivation given above (Ety/NÁRAK, OS, ROD). In Notes on Names (NN) from 1957, Tolkien considered deriving the name from its Khuzdul equivalent N. Nar(u)kuthûn (PE17/47), but elsewhere he stated that the Dwarvish name for the caverns was Nulukkhizdîn (S/230, WJ/180).

Nargothrond (name)
From its first conception, the name Nargothrond means "Underground fortress on the river Narog". Its Petty-dwarvish name was Nulukkhizdîn (erronously spelled Nulukkizdîn in the published works).
However, in his later life, Tolkien devised the Dwarvish name Nar(u)kathan instead, to which the Elves suffixed -rond, "vaulted dome".
In Eriol's Old English translations, Nargothrond is referred as Hlydingaburg "City of the Hlydingas" or Stangaldor(burg).

thalos
place name. Torrent
One of the seven streams from which Ossiriand got its name (S/123), and is simply thalos “torrent” used as a name (Ety/STAL). Given the river’s location in Ossiriand, this name might be Nandorin instead.
Conceptual Development: In The Etymologies from the 1930s, the name Thalos was designated Ilkorin, with the derivation given above (Ety/STAL). Like many of the river names in Ossiriand, Tolkien did not give a new etymology of the name after he abandoned the Ilkorin language.

torrent
pl. theryd (archaic thöryd).
A river in Beleriand (S/120), an adaptation of its Khuzdul name narâg meaning “black” (PE17/37).
Conceptual Development: The name ᴱN. Narog first appeared in a marginal note in the earliest Lost Tales (LT2/244, note #15), and was translated “Torrent” in the Lays of Beleriand from the 1920s (LB/61). The adjective ᴱN. narog “violent (of water, rain, etc.), torrential” appeared in Early Noldorin word list from this same period (PE13/150).
In The Etymologies from the 1930s, N. Narog was derived from primitive ᴹ✶narāka “rushing, rapid, violent”, similar to its earlier meaning (Ety/NÁRAK). Its derivation from Khuzdul appeared in Tolkien’s Words, Phrases and Passages from the Lord of the Rings (WPP) from the late 1950s or early 1960s (PE17/37). Elsewhere in these notes he considered deriving it from (untranslated) Kh. naruka instead (PE17/47).
