I think it's a river. I don't know any stories about it.

Yes, it is a river, but what happened there?

“What does the term american refers to” asked the boy, and the wise man answered: “Lets look at the dictionary then.”
As an adjective American is:
1. Of or relating to the United States of America or its people, language, or culture.
2. Of or relating to North or South America, the West Indies, or the Western Hemisphere.
As a noun American is:
A native or inhabitant of America.
A citizen of the United States.

Then the boy asked, “What is America then?”, and the wise man looked at the dictionary again:
1. The United States.
2. also the A·mer·i·cas. The landmasses and islands of North America, Central America, and South America.

Confused, the boy asked, “Does the term american refers solely to a us citizen or to any person in North, Central or South America?”
The wise man replied: “What do you think?”, and the boy answered: “It is clear to me that while the term american is used to refers to us citizens, one can also use it to refer to any person who is from that continent too,” the boy thought for a while and asked the wise man, “Am I right?”, and he replied: “But of course.”
The boy wondered, why is it that some people refuse to acknowledge the fact that the term american refers not only to US citizens but to anyone of the American continent?, but then sadly, the boy understood, that it is the calamity of ignorance.

Isn't that the place Beren attacked the dwarves that felled Doriath?

Nom meant wise, and this is what Beor and his men called Finrod.

What was the name of the city in Nevrast that Turgon built and settled before going to Gondolin?

OK... the HARD part was definitely coming up with the next question:

What was the third great battle of the Wars of Beleriand?

Dagor-nuin-gilliath was the first, and I think there was one Dagor Aglaron after that...Dagor Bragolach? May be that there was another one earlier but can't quite remember it.
