Fladweth Amrod was a place in Tol Eressëa near Tavrobel, where Eriol stayed temporarily, according to the early version of the legendarium associated with The Book of Lost Tales.[1]
Etymology
The name Fladweth Amrod is in Gnomish. It is glossed as "Nomad's Green". The first element of the name is fladweth ("meadow, grassland") and the second one is amrog ("nomand, wanderer").[2]
Another, earlier, name for the place was Fladweth-amrog.[2][3]
Inspiration
In the spring of 1918, Tolkien was posted again to Rugeley Camp, in Penkridge, a village in Staffordshire. While visiting him, Edith Bratt, and several of her companions, found accommodation in a nearby house in Gipsy Green, a small hamlet. There, Tolkien would occasionally visit them and stay for a while.[4]
It is possible that the name of Gipsy Green may be reflected in the name Fladweth Amrod (whose translation from Gnomish would be Nomad's Green),[4] a connection John Garth proposed in his book Tolkien and the Great War.[5]
