aelin-uial

place name. Meres of Twilight

Region where the river Aros flowed into the Sirion, translated “Twilight Meres” or “Meres of Twilight” (S/114, 122). This name seems to be a compound of the plural aelin of ael “lake, pool” and the noun uial “twight” (SA/aelin, uial).

Conceptual Development: In the earliest Lost Tales these pools were named G. Umboth-muilin (LT2/225). This name remained in Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s as an Doriathrin [Ilkorin] name: Umboth Muilin (LR/262; Ety/KHIS, MBOTH). In The Etymologies, Tolkien considered several several Noldorin equivalents for this name, as described in the entry for N. Oelinuial. In the narratives, he used Aelin-uial as the Noldorin name (LR/262). This was the form that appeared in Silmarillion revisions from the 1950s-60s and the published Silmarillion, while Umboth Muilin was removed (WJ/194).

nenuial

place name. Lake Evendim, (lit.) Water of Twilight

A lake in northern Eriador, translated “Lake Evendim” (LotR/1111) or more literally “Water of Twilight” (RC/773). This name is a combination of nen “water” and uial “twilight” (SA/nen, uial).

Conceptual Development: When it first appeared in Lord of the Rings drafts from the 1940s, N. Nenuial was translated “Evendimmer” (SD/76).

emyn uial

place name. Hills of Evendim

Hills north of the Shire translated “Hills of Evendim” on the map of The Lord of the Rings (LotR/1082), a combination of the plural of amon “hill” and uial “(evening) twilight”.

Aelin-uial

Aelin-uial (name)

Aelin-uial is a Sindarin name, composed of aelin "lake" + uial "twilight".

A variant name used by Tolkien was Umboth Muilin (also spelt Umboth-muilin and Umboth-Muilin), which translates to "Pools of Twilight". Helge Fauskanger has noted that the Noldorin name Oelinuial ("Pools of Twilight"; variant forms Elinuial and Eilinuial), of the Etymologies, became Aelin-uial in the published Silmarillion.

Yet another, early form, was the Gnomish name Hithliniath ("Pools of Mist"; which was amended to Umboth Muilin, itself amended to Aelinuial).
