Foen was a tall peak in the center of Dorthonion, east of Rivil's Well and west of Aeluin.[1]
Etymology
The name Foen signified "Long Sight" due to its height. In a philological fragment of uncertain date it is stated that Dorthonion was also called Taur-na-Foen, the Forest of the Foen.[2][3]
In the Etymologies appears the Noldorin word foen, meaning "radiant, white".[4] Didier Willis has suggested that foen (retaining the same meaning) could be valid Neo-Sindarin.[5]
