Cliff, in J.R.R. Tolkien's words

The Quenya word for cliff is ollo (cliff, seaward precipice). Also the Quenya word lanca means "sharp edge (not of tools); sudden end (as a cliff-edge, or the clean edge of things made by hand or built)"

I didn't find a Sindarin word for cliff, but the word lanc means edge (sharp edge (not of tools), sudden end (as a cliff-edge, or the clean edge of things made by hand or built)).
