Foen
From Tolkien Gateway
Foen was a high mountain peak in the center of Dorthonion, east of Rivil's Well and west of Aeluin.[1]
Etymology
The name Foen signified "Long Sight" due to its height. It was stated in a philological fragment of an uncertain date that Dorthonion "was called also Taur-na-Foen, the Forest of the Foen".[2][3]
In the Etymologies appears the Noldorin word foen, meaning "radiant, white".[4]
