Mindon
Quenya
mindon is a noun meaning "lofty tower" in Quenya. Compare with minas in Sindarin.
Examples
- Mindon Eldaliéva = "(Our) Tower of the Eldar"
Sindarin/Noldorin
mindon means "isolated hill ... especially a hill with a watch-tower" in Noldorin. Evidently, this meaning was retained in Sindarin in the contraction min, as Tolkien wrote in his unfinished index that Min-Rimmon meant "peak of the Rimmon".
Etymology
From Primitive Quendian minitunda or minitaun, derived from roots MINI + TUN.
