Annon Wain

"In the wilderlands of the western provinces, corrupt names such as "Annogwain" have sprung up everywhere, like mushrooms in a cow-pasture. Ihe rustics seem  unable to comprehend the rules, as simple as they are, whereby one  modifies the initial consonant of a Sindarin adjective as his  Majesty can plainly see, Annogwain should properly be "Annon  Wain" "New Gate", with the correctly modified form of "gwain"  'new' in secondary position. We might suppose that Anno-' 'gate'  in Annogwain was formed on analogy with the far older name  Annon Drúin "Gate of the Wild Men", a town further downstream." -Findegil
