Q. oromar (oromard-) n. “lofty hall, high-mansion, high (lofty) dwelling” (Category: House)

Q. oromar (oromard-), n. “lofty hall, high-mansion, high (lofty) dwelling” (Category: House)

A word appearing in its plural form oromardi, referring to the dwelling of Varda and Manwë on the slopes of mount Taniquetil from the Namárië poem (LotR/377). It is a combination of oro- “up, aloft” and mar(da) “dwelling” (PE17/63-64). Though not a proper name, I suspect this word was poetic and not in general use.
