Uinen(Uinend-)

as in dative Uinenden fem. name, used of a Maia, spouse of Ossë UY, NEN. Adopted and adapted from Valarin WJ:404, though it is also said that it contains -nen "water" SA:nen; the latter explanation may be folk etymology. In the Etymologies, the name is derived from the same stem UY as uilë "long trailing plant, especially seaweed".
