Gwathló

So the Lord Aldarion long has seen.

At Vinyalondë by the mouth of Gwathló he has long labored to establish such a haven, secure against sea and land.

But his mighty works have been in vain.

He has great knowledge in such matters, for he has learned much of Círdan, and he understands better than any the needs of your great ships.

And outside of this week's readings, we see it in places like Mithlond, the gray havens, using mith, gray, that's the same element as in mithril and mithrandir.

Londair, the great haven at the mouth of the Gwathló, where the Númenóreans landed to cut down Eriador's forests and harass the Dunlendings.

Now, that gives us a small, slightly grim symmetry for the week.

The same word is in the name of the Elvish harbor where Feanor commits the kinslaying, Alqualondë, and in the name of the Gondorian harbor where Aragorn arrives to save Minas Tirith, the haven of the swans and the south haven.
