dagnir
noun. slayer, bane
A word for “slayer” (PE17/97), a noun form of dag- “to slay” with the agental suffix -nir, appearing in the (somewhat loosely translated) phrase: Túrin Turambar Dagnir Glaurunga “Túrin Turambar, Glaurung’s Bane” (S/226). I would use this word as “bane” only in the sense of “one who has killed” or “one who will kill”.

An element in Morinehtar “Darkness-slayer”, a name of one of the Blue Wizards (PM/384). It seems to be an agental form of nahta- “to slay”, but the reason why the vowel is e is unclear.
nehtar
slayer
#nehtar noun "slayer", isolated from Morinehtar "Darkness-slayer" (PM:384, 385). It may be that a verbal stem #nehta- "to slay, kill" can also be isolated from this noun, though the attested form is actually nahta- (a possible example of A/E variation).
One of the twelve companions of Barahir (S/155). His name seems to be the noun dagnir “slayer” used as a name.
Conceptual Development: In Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s, this character was first named N. Dengar, soon changed to N. Dagnir (SM/319).
