anrand

noun. cycle, age (100 Valian Years)

Helge Fauskanger noted that the element and "long" would normally be preserved before r-, but the -d is lost because there is another d in the word (VT/41:9); however, this second d later disappeared in the change from -nd to -nn, and it is unclear whether or not an- would then revert to and-

anrand

noun. cycle, age, (lit.) long cycle

[@@@ an example of how middle consonants frequently vanished in clusters, ndr > nr rather than dr (PE22/36); this specific change did not occur in later Sindarin (e.g. Andras)]
