Annúminas, the ancient royal city of Arnor, was built on its southern shores. Notes 1 The name of the lake (and the surrounding area) derives from æfen dim, 'evening twilight' (where æfen is the origin of the English word 'evening'). On that basis, the initial 'e' of Evendim is probably pronounced long, as it is in modern 'evening'. See also...
