N. Eldûn m. “*West-star”
Earlier of Eluréd (LR/147 note #42). Since his brother’s name was Elrûn “*East-star”, this name may be a combination of el “star” and dûn “west”.
See S. Eluréd for further discussion.

Ilk. Elboron m. “*Steadfast Star”
An earlier name for S. Eluréd (LR/147). It appeared in The Etymologies containing Ilk. boron “steadfast”, but the name were rejected, probably at the same time as the name of his brother Ilk. Elbereth (Ety/BOR). Its initial element might be el “star”.
See S. Elurín for further discussion.
