Yavanna228 has just left Hobbiton.
Tolkien

The only thing I can figure about the two, Cair Paravel and Cair Andros, is that they are both islands. Is there any linguist out there who knows if 'cair' is a word meaning 'island'? Also, I recall reading somewhere that Bree simply means 'hill', such as the Welsh 'bryn' means 'hill.' I could be wrong, though. Anyone care to correct me? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
