Dilion name. bright Gelion ~ LR/359-360 ~ hypothetical not used. The name Gelion actually comes from the Ilkorin word for "bright", derived from the stem GAL.

That this was not the correct interpretation of the Ilkorin river-name, even though the Ilkorin and the Noldorin word had the same form, is shown by the fact that the true cognate of Noldorin Gelion (stem GYEL) would not have been Gelion at all, but Dilion.
