The borders of Cardolan extended from the river Baranduin ( Brandywine ) to the west, the river Mitheithel ( Hoarwell ) to the east and the river Gwathló ( Greyflood ) to the east and south.

Important rivers were the Lune ( Elvish Lhûn ), the Brandywine ( Elvish Baranduin ) and the Greyflood ( Elvish Gwathló ).

In some cases the explanations became quite involved, such as the river Brandywine ( Sindarin Baranduin, " golden-brown river ") was actually called Branda-nîn, a punning Westron name meaning " border-water ", which was later punned again as Bralda-hîm, meaning " heady ale ".

While Marchbuck (" march " bearing its archaic meaning of " border ") is the exact representation of Brandagamba, Tolkien rendered it Brandybuck to preserve the name's similarity with the River Branda-nîn ( Baranduin in Sindarin ), which Tolkien then rendered Brandywine in English to reflect an alternate name, Bralda-hîm, meaning " heady ale ", referring to the river's golden-brown colour.

However, in the same section Tolkien also addresses hobbit ( which was certainly created first and translated afterward, as described in Tolkien's own comment on the initial writing of The Hobbit ) and Brandywine ( an obvious English pun on the Elvish Baranduin, ' justified ' as translation of a similarly alcoholic pun in Westron ).
