S. Methiriad loc. “*End of Two Rivers”
Region between Doriath and the river Narog appearing on revisions to the Silmarillion map from the 1950s-60s, also labeled “Mid-Beleriand” (WJ/184). According to Christopher Tolkien, this name appears nowhere else (WJ/190 note #60). The meaning of this name does not match its gloss. David Salo suggested it might be a combination of meth “end”, the lenited form of sîr “river” with the dual suffix -ad, so meaning “*End of Two Rivers” (GS/384).
