woods and forests (2)

← woods and forest #1

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

The only mention I’ve found so far of tawar is Tawarwaith which is commonly used for silvan or forest elves.  Tawar ~ great wood or forest and (g)waith host, people, region

Taur Gonwaith:  Gond  meaning stone, (g)waith  meaning people, host, area, region.  (Stone trolls in screenshot).  Forest of the Stone People.

Taur Morvith:  I think this is: morn ~ dark, black and vith (from mith) white fog, wet mist.  Forest of the Dark Mist?

Taur Orthon:  Orn meaning large tree and thôn meaning pine tree.  Forest of Tall Pines.  (Edit: Thanks to TwoBob for providing the translation and pointing out this thread in the comments)

Glâd EregEreg meaning holly tree, thorn. (Screenshot from wiki).  Holly Wood :)

(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!)
