From the Akallabeth in the Silmarillion:

But these things come not into the tale of the Drowning of Numenor, of which now all is told. And even the name of that land perished, and Men spoke thereafter not of Elenna, nor of Andor the Gift that was taken away, nor of Numenore on the confines of the world, but the exiles on the shores of the sea, if they turned towards the West in the desire of their hearts, spoke of Mar-nu-Falmar that was whelmed in the waves, Akallabeth the Downfallen, Atalante in the Eldarin tongue.'

He absolutely had that take.

I wondered if he did that as a reference to "Atlantis" by using his philological expertise to come up with a likely-sounding root word which might well have "weathered" over the years to become Atlantis. Thanks.

Cheers!
