caur
place name. Kôr
caur
noun. action, doing, making; verb
A neologism coined by Elaran in 2018 on the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS) derived from √KAR “do, make”, comparable to S. caun “outcry” from √KAN “cry aloud”. I would use this word for a specific (single) action, as opposed to the gerund cared “action, ✱doing, making” for the general process of action or carth “deed” for a notable or deliberate action. When referring to grammar, caur can be used as a term for a verb.
cared
noun. action, action, *doing, making
An element in the word athragared “interaction” (PE17/14), also the gerund/infinitive of the verb car- “do, make” (PE17/68) and thus meaning “✱doing, making” as well. As such I would use this word for action as a general process, as opposed to a specific action for which I would use ᴺS. caur.
hûr
action, readiness for
(i chûr, o chûr, construct hur) (vigour, fiery spirit), pl. huir (i chuir) if there is a pl.

kôr
place name. Kôr
Name of the hill where Túna, the city of the Elves in Valinor, was located in Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s (SM/45, LR/222). In The Etymologies it was derived from the root ᴹ√KOR “round” (Ety/KOR).
Conceptual Development: In the earliest Lost Tales, ᴱQ. Kôr was the name of the city as well as the hill.
kǭro
place name. Kôr
kôr
place name. Kôr
The Noldorin equivalent of ᴹQ. Kôr appearing in The Etymologies from the 1930s, developing from the primitive form ᴹ✶kǭro (Ety/KOR, EtyAC/KOR).
Conceptual Development: In earlier narratives it appeared as G. Gwâr (LT2/291) or G. Côr (LB/21, SM/86). The second form also appeared in The Etymologies as a derivative of ᴹ✶koro before it was rejected and replaced by Caur (Ety/KOR, EtyAC/KOR).
