The range of hills that massed on either side of the Anduin above the inflow of the Entwash. At one time they marked the northern borders of Gondor; Frodo and Sam crossed them on their journey to Mordor.
Notes
1 |
The pronunciation of y in Elvish words varied between different groups of speakers. Across most of Middle-earth, the usual pronunciation of emyn would have been 'e'moon' (to rhyme with the French word lune). In Gondor, however, y was pronounced as something closer to i. Given the close association of these hills with Gondor, the Gondorian pronunciation is preferred above.
