Appendix:Sindarin/randir

Sindarin

Etymology

Modified from rhandir in Tolkien’s earlier conception of the language (‘Noldorin’), itself modified from yet earlier amraith and earlier still amrog in ‘Gnomish’. Diegetically explained as derived from a Primitive Elvish root *ran- (‘to wander, stray, err’) + Sindarin dîr (“man, male”).
