Ossriandric

dior

masculine name. Dior

In The Etymologies from the 1930s, Tolkien first marked the name Dior as both Doriathrin and Ossiriandic (EtyAC/NDEW). He then changed the name so that it was only Doriathrin, perhaps because [[dan|the diphthong [io] did not appear until very late in Ossiriandic]].
