But also yes. In fairness, they largely consist of taking things overly literally, which is a huge part of the PPC's mission statement, so I'm in good company. ^_^

I don't think you did mention that, if only because I would have worked it into "Courtyard Life" if I'd known! (Incidentally, if Nandaro is indeed Delroch, then he probably needs a rename on the Wiki.) I like the name - "little bell", right? But also a decent Quenya onomatopaea for a whinnying horse - "nYElle!" ("Nandaro" is clearly Sindarin, but presumably not "Stationary valley" - "Noble Dale", perhaps?) Another incidental - it would be entirely appropriate for Nandaro to call Alice "Alissë" as an endearment - "al+lissë" = "happy + sweetness/grace", with the whole coming out as something like "bliss".

Given the general landscape naming technique, "Misty Hill/Hill of Mist" would definitely be Amon Hîth. I think Hithamon would be naturally read as "hill-mist" - which is a fair synonym for "mist upon the hills".

Which I notice is also a direct synonym for "Fog on the [Barrow-]Downs". Don't think I didn't see what you're doing.
