Astulat
From Tolkien Gateway
Astulat, the Bony ridge, was the name of a hill only mentioned in a manuscript about Elvish grammar.[1] Nothing else is known about this place.
Etymology
The name Astulat is Qenya for "Bony ridge", composed of astula ("bony") + hat ("ridge (comb, crest)").[1]
It seems to share the name with the legendary Astolat, the place connected with the Lady of Shalott.
