Template:Noncanon Kalórmë (Q, pron. [kaˈloːrme]) was a great mountain in Oronto (the farthest East of the world). The peak seems to have been the second tallest mountain in Arda, corresponding to the Oiolossë far in the West.[1]

Etymology

In the Qenya Lexicon, the name Kalórmë is given the meaning "hill-crest over which the Sun rises". It can be analyzed as cal- (root KAL) and orme (root ORO).[2]

It is notable that "Kalórmë" violates normal Quenya phonotactics, by signifying a long vowel before a consonant cluster. Normally, this would be written as "Kalormë".

It is also notable that the name is similar to Calormen of Narnia by C.S. Lewis
