Mithe
![The Mithe in <tg-em>[[The Lord of the Rings Online]]</tg-em>](https://v6.elanillounico.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/The-Lord-of-the-Rings-Online-Mithe.jpg)
Mithe was a body of water in the Shire, the outflow of the Shirebourn river.
At the Mithe there was a landing-stage called Mithe Steps, from which a lane ran to Deephallow and so on to the Causeway road that went through Rushey and Stock.
Etymology
Andreas Möhn has suggested that Mithe means "Place where two streams meet", derived from Old English mūþ or ġemȳþ "river-mouth, meeting of streams". Möhn adds that Mithe "is evidently related to 'mouth' and probably a derivative surviving in English place-names". The name is probably unrelated to the Middle English verb mithen which meant to hide, conceal or avoid.
Portrayal in adaptations
2007: The Lord of the Rings Online:
The river Shirebourn itself is currently inaccessible, as the Southfarthing of the Shire is not present in the game. The Mithe however can be accessed from the Bree-land side.
