Q. londë n. “(land-locked) haven” (Category: Port, Harbor)
A word for “haven”, most notably as an element in Alqualondë “Haven of the Swans” (S/61). In notes from the late 1960s it was derived from the (untranslated) root √LON (VT42/10).
Conceptual Development: In The Etymologies of the 1930s, ᴹQ. {londa >>} londe was glossed “road (in sea), fairway, {anchorage >>} entrance to harbour”, and derived from the root {ᴹ✶londā >>} ᴹ✶londē under the root ᴹ√LOD (Ety/LOD). In a 1942 note, [ᴹQ.] londe was glossed “gulf”, as opposed to [N.] lorn “haven” (TI/423).
