ᴱN. ladwen n. “plain” (Category: Plain, Field)

⚠️ᴱN. ladwen, n. “plain, [G.] heath; levelness, flatness; plane; surface” (Category: Plain, Field): S. lad “plain, ⚠️valley; [G.] a level, a flat; fair dealing”

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “levelness, flatness; a plain, heath; plane; surface”, a more elaborate form of G. lad “a level, a flat” (GL/52). It reappeared in the Lays of Beleriand of the 1920s as an element in the name ᴱN. Loth-a-ladwen “Lily of the Plain” (LB/149), but there is no sign of it thereafter.
