I got that from Robert Foster's The Complete Guide to Middle-earth. Foster cites page 515 of the revised Ballantine edition of RotK.Falenthal wrote:By the way, where did you find the name in Westron. I've never read anywhere the name Karningul.
And while Imladris is elvish (sindarin, I guess), what language is Rivendell? I thought Rivendell was Westron...

Re: Rivendell nomenclature
Imladris is a Sindarin term which means "deep valley of the cleft": from imlad ("glen, deep valley") and rist ("cleft") or riss ("ravine"). According to the Lord of the Rings wiki.
I believe Rivendell has a similar meaning in Common.
On further investigation I would put Rivendell (or the Hidden Valley) being in Eriador on a map. But, I is a matter of opinion.
