Notes 1 Ezellohar is one of the few words from the language of the Valar to be transmitted literally through the Silmarillion tradition. Most of the other examples we have are the names of the Valar and Maiar themselves, but in these cases the names are typically simplified and translated into Elvish forms, so (for example) Tulukhastáz ('golden-haired') became the more familiar Tulkas. Unlike these common cases, Ezellohar is almost identical to its original Valarin form. Unfortunately we don't have an explicit translation of the word, but we do know that ezel(la) was 'green' in Valarin, and a full meaning of 'Green Mound' is strongly implied. See also...
