woods and forests (1)

← water (2)

common words:
eryn ~ wood
glad ~ wood
taur ~ great wood, forest
tawar ~ great wood, forest (also pertains to the material)

Eryn Laer, Lothlórien:  Laer meaning summer or song.  Summer Wood or Wood of Song.

Taur Hith, Lothlórien:  Hith meaning mist or fog.  Forest of Mist.

Taur Ornolf, Trollshaws:  Orn meaning large tree.  I think olf is from golf meaning branch. Perhaps Forest of large branching trees.

Gladdalf, Trollshaws:  Dalf meaning flat field or land (from talf).  Wood on flat land (doesn’t sound very poetic so I suspect there is a better translation!)

(Translations are from the Appendix: Elements in Quenya and Sindarin, The Silmarillion, J.R. R. Tolkien or Hiswelókë’s Sindarin Dictionary.  I am not an expert at all – if you see any mistakes please let me know!)
