Well, Rochon Methestel is a song remembering Borondir in specific and the Battle of Celebrant in general, but I'm not sure that Borondir is Rochon Methestel. It translates to "rider of the last hope".

Oh.
I always thought he was the Rider of Last Hope.
Take the thread, anyway.

Perhaps he was. I'd never have figured it out without my handy dandy copy of Hisweloke's dictionary. I must go now and prepare something sufficiently nasty.
Eureka, I have found it: Uilos.

Nasty indeed, Sophia. Uilos is the Sindarin form of Oiolosse, which is Taniquetil.

Ah, but it also means something else. See if you can find it now...

Cruel and nasty, we shall be. As the name may have only referred to the summit, the answer may be as simple as Ilmarin, which are the halls built upon the summit.
However, considering 'Oiolosse' was simply the most common name used, there are also Amon Uilos, Mount Everwhite, the White Mountain, the Holy Mountain, Elerrina, the Hill of Ilmarin, and the Mountain to choose from.  Fea [has handy dandy references]
