Lumbar
One of the bright objects created among the stars by Varda the Kindler in anticipation of the awakening of the first Elves. There is good reason to believe that Lumbar was in fact not a star, but rather the planet we call Saturn. Its name apparently derives from the Quenya word for ‘gloom’or ‘shadow’, presumably in reference to its status as the faintest of the five visible planets.
