Sindarin name for the Paths of the Dead appearing in Tolkien’s “Unfinished Index” of The Lord of the Rings (RC/526). The initial element fui is apparently the plural of an otherwise unattested noun fû “path”. The second element is the lenited class-plural of gorth “dead (person)”, which also appears in Dor Gyrth i Chuinar “Land of the Dead that Live” as its ordinarly plural.
Conceptual Development: This name replaced a deleted form Raith ’Ngorthrim.
A rejected Sindarin name for the Paths of the Dead appearing in Tolkien’s “Unfinished Index” of The Lord of the Rings, replaced by Fui ’Ngorthrim (RC/526). It appears to be a combination of the plural of rath “street” and the lenited class-plural of gorth “dead (person)”.
