Gondolin

Gondolin, quod nomen Gondolinum latinizamus, est urbs ficticia in Legendario Tolkieniano sita et ab Alfis inhabitata. Tolkien urbis nominis originem sic exaplanat in suo Name-list to "The Fall of Gondolin": "Gondolin lingua Gnomish 'saxum carminis' valet (quo Gnomes figurative saxum ad magnam pulchretudinem scalptum et caelatum fuisse sibi voluerunt)."."Gondolin meaneth in Gnomish 'stone of song' (whereby figuratively the Gnomes meant stone that was craven and wrought to great beauty)"Tolkien, J.R.R. The Book of Lost Tales, part II. p. 216.
