Location To the east of the Great River Anduin, beneath the Falls of Rauros and opposite the Mouths of Entwash Pronunciation nee'ndalv Meaning Probably 'field of water'1 Other names The Wetwang Indexes: Alphabetical: N Rivers and Lakes About this entry: Updated 26 March 2015 Updates planned: 1 The Wetwang marshes beneath the Emyn Muil Map of Nindalf The great marshland region beneath the Emyn Muil that formed opposite the wide delta where the river Entwash flowed into the Anduin. Notes 1 The name Nindalf is never explicitly explained, but nin is definitely 'water' and dalf is an old Elvish word for a wide flat area or field. As additional confirmation, we have the Common Tongue equivalent 'Wetwang', where wang means 'field', so this interpretation seems relatively secure. See also...
