About this entry:

Flets

The traditional tree-platforms of Lórien

The Westron name for the tree-platforms used by the Elves of Lórien, and called by them telain.

1	Flet is a noun formed from the adjective flat, and the word could in principle be used to describe any flat thing or surface. It is used here as a translation into Westron of the Elvish word talan, which meant 'floor'.
