Lumbar

From Tolkien Gateway

Lumbar was one of the bright stars placed in the sky by Varda at the time of the awakening of the Elves in Middle-earth.[1] Actually, this "star" is the planet Saturn.[2]

Etymology[edit | edit source]

Lumbar is an obscure name. It could be Quenya for "Shadow Home", as Paul Strack explains, being a compound of lumbë ("gloom, shadow") + már ("home").[3]
