firin

noun. ray of sun

A noun in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “ray of sun”, derived from the root ᴱ√FIŘI [FIÐI] (QL/38).

firin

noun. necklace

firinga

noun. carcanet, necklace

A word appearing as ᴱQ. firinga in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, cognate to G. fring “carcanet, necklace” (GL/59), an element in the early name G. Nauglafring (LT2/221). In notes from this period Tolkien gave the full Qenya translation of this name as ᴱQ. Firin (i) Nautaron along with variants like Naufiringe (PE15/15).

Neo-Quenya: Since we have no better “necklace” words in Tolkien’s later writing, I’d retain ᴺQ. firinga “necklace, carcanet” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.

firin nautaron

proper name. Necklace of the Dwarves

Qenya cognate of G. Nauglafring in an early name list (PE15/15), a combination of a shorter form of firinga “necklace” and the genitive plural of nauta “dwarf”, appearing beside a number of variants.
