gwadoras

noun. union, association, fellowship, society

A neologism for “union, association, fellowship, society” created by Paul Strack in 2018 to replace G. gadorwen and G. gados from the 1910s, it is an abstract formation from gwador “(sworn) brother, associated”. In 2022 Elaran proposed ᴺS. gwachonas instead based on ᴺS. gwachon and later S. hawn “brother”, but I prefer to retain the Noldorin forms for metaphorical (non-blood related) brothers; see ᴹ√TOR for further discussion.
