title_body: If 'Amlonde' were a word in Sindarin or Quenya, what would it mean?
upvoted_answer: There is actually a neat analysis in Quenya according to a Tolkien Dictionary Site:
  
  am-: is a prefix that means &quot;up&quot;
  londë: means &quot;(landlocked) haven&quot;
  
  So you can imagine it describing a place that once was a harbour, but through geographical changes has become landlocked, and is possibly on a hill or mountain. Or it could be a refuge, a safe place in the mountains.
