Well, Mathom springs to mind, but I can't find a river of any size with two Ms in the name.
#4. ATHELAS is nearly A + alas! + the.
AFTERLITHE even has the articles in their correct places, though the best I can do with 'fterli' is 'filter'. Perhaps you've recently had a filtration accident which made you weep in frustration?
Or, if I can branch out from English for a minute... THEODEN is the + o! + den, the German masculine accusative definite article. This would make Theoden himself 'without direction', because... his chief counsellor was actively working against him, I guess?
