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]
Inspiration
It is notable that the name Kalórmë is similar to Calormen of The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, althought it is unknown if Tolkien thought of this name.
