*“Gondobar am I called and Gondothlimbar,City of Stone and City of the Dwellers in Stone; Gondolin the Stone of Song and Gwarestrin am I named,the Tower of Guard,Gar Thurion or the Secret Place,for I am hidden from the eyes of Melko; but they who love me most greatly call me Loth,for like a flower am I,even Lothengriol the flower that blooms on the plain。”
