Sindarin 

bronwe

masculine name. *Endurance

The Sindarin cognate of Q. Voronwë (WJ/90, PE17/189-190), most likely an adaption of that name.

Conceptual Development: In the earliest Lost Tales the name appeared as G. Bronweg (LT1/48) and was translated “Constant One” in the Gnomish Lexicon (GL/24). In Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s it was changed to N. Bronwe (SM/146), which also appeared in The Etymologies as a derivative of ON. Bronwega (Ety/BORÓN, WEG). The name still appeared in the narratives in Silmarillion revisions from the 1950s-60s (WJ/90) but was replaced by Q. Voronwë in the published version of the Silmarillion. In some late notes from the 1950s it also appeared as Bronweg and as (archaic?) Broenwi (PE17/189).

Adûnaic

abâr

noun. strength, endurance, fidelity

A noun translated as “strength, endurance, fidelity”, and used as an example of noun declension in Lowdham’s Report (SD/431). Carl Hostetter and Patrick Wynne suggested (AAD/9) that it may be related to the Elvish root ᴹ√BOR(ON) “endure”. It may also be related to the name Abrazân “✱Steadfast, Faithful”.

Conceptual Development: This word also appeared in earlier Adûnaic names Zen’nabâr and Abarzâyan (both glossed “Land of Gift”), where it apparently had the meaning “gift”. These names were eventually replaced by Yôzâyan in which the element means “gift”, freeing abâr to have the meaning: “strength, endurance, fidelity”.
