uilos
place name. Ever-snow
Sindarin name for Mount Q. Oiolossë (PE17/26), usually appearing in the fuller name Amon Uilos. It is a combination of ui “ever” and loss “snow”.
Conceptual Development: In The Etymologies from the 1930s, this name first appeared as (rejected) N. Guilos from the root ᴹ√GEY (Ety/GEY), revised to Uiloss from the root ᴹ√EY (Ety/EY) and finally N. Uilos from the root ᴹ√OY (Ety/OY), with essentially the same derivation as its later Sindarin name.

oiolossë
Oiolossë
Oiolossë (also spelled Oiolosse) is Quenya and means "Ever-snow-white", "Everwhite/snowy", or "Everlasting snow". The name seems to consist of oio "ever" (cf. root OY-) and losse "snow". In Eriol's Old English translations, Oiolossë is referred to as Sinsnaw, Sinsnaewen "Ever-snow". The Sindarin equivalent of Oiolossë was Amon Uilos.

Compounded in Ninquelótë noun "White-Flower" (SA:nim), = Sindarin Nimloth, the White Tree of Númenor; ninqueruvissë ("q") "white-horse-on" _(MC:216; this is "Qenya", read _ninqueroccossë or *ninquiroccossë in LotR-style Quenya). Normally ninquë would be expected to have the stem-form ninqui-, given the primitive form ¤ninkwi; Ninquelótë rather than *Ninquilótë must be seen as an analogical form.

nimbi
adjective. white
A flower in Middle-earth about which Tolkien said “like stars bloomed the white flowers of uilos, the Evermind” (UT/49). Elsewhere Evermind was the translation of the Rohirric flower name simbelmynë (LotR/507), so uilos may be its Elvish name but with a different meaning. This word also appears in Amon Uilos, the Sindarin name of Oiolossë “Ever (Snow) White” (S/37). Thus uilos seems to be a combination of ui “ever” and either loss “snow” or gloss “white”.
