Three times three,

Over the flowing sea?
Seven stars and seven stones
And one white tree

Well, this "v" comes in the midst of the quote - but it's one of the Gaffer's sayings and I like it:

'Maybe,' said Sam; 'but where there's life there's hope, as my Gaffer used to say; and need of "v"ittles, as he mostways used to add.

-- Sam to Frodo; Journey to the Crossroads

Silmaril There's no J!!

So ...

J is for Just outside Moria, where the Fellowship tarried while trying to work out the way to get through the West-door, and encountered a Watcher of the "in the Water" variety.

... or Just outside just about any place that they visited.

D'oh! Well, I must plead that while I'm reading Helm's Deep, my thoughts are not exactly centered on Moria. But, yeah, Khazad-Dum is the more obvious choice.
