Location To the east of the Great River Anduin, beneath the Falls of Rauros and opposite the Mouths of Entwash Pronunciation we'twang Meaning 'Field of water'1 Other names Nindalf Indexes: Alphabetical: W Rivers and Lakes About this entry: Updated 5 January 2020 Updates planned: 2 The great marshland beneath the Emyn Muil  The name in the Westron tongue for the marshes beneath the Emyn Muil that the Elves called Nindalf. Notes 1 There is actually a real place named Wetwang in Yorkshire, England, though that name has a slightly different derivation. Where the wet in Tolkien's Wetwang simply carries its natural meaning of 'wet' or 'watery' (as shown by its Elvish equivalent nin) the real place-name actually has nothing to do with water. Instead it derives from Old Norse vaétt, 'legal action', so the full name refers to a field where trials would take place. See also...
