Notes
1
This is the direct translation given by Christopher Tolkien in his Index to The Silmarillion. To put this interpretation in context, Elvishmar carries a sense of 'home' or 'dwelling-place', and its use here for 'land' implies something like 'homeland', referring to the lost home of the exiledDúnedain.
