Thanks for contributing to Parf Edhellen!
Unfortunately I’m going to reject your contribution: The source given (Parma Eldalamberon 22, p. 110, 138) only has the gloss ‘hunting’ from Tolkien and I don’t think the gloss ‘hunter’ is particularly likely for that word. In general, I would expect fáro, farondo, faramo for ‘hunter’ based on other agent nouns we see:
- fáro, cf. nam- ‘to judge’ → námo ‘judge’, nap- ‘to pick’ → nápo “picker, finger”, THĀ/ATHA- ‘to help, assist’ → sáro “saviour”...
- farondo (-ndo ‘masculine agent noun’), cf. col- ‘to bear’ → colindo ‘bearer’, mel- “to love” → melindo “lover”... In Noldorin (a predecessor of Sindarin) we have faron ‘hunter’, which derives from the same proto-form, that would give us farondo for Quenya.
- faramo (-mo ‘agent noun’), cf. IR- ‘desire’ → Irmo “Desirer”, ul- ‘to pour’ → Ulmo ‘Pourer’, RŌ/ORO- “up” → ormo “riser”, tir- ‘to watch’ → tirmo ‘watcher’...
