faron

noun. hunter

A word for “hunter” in The Etymologies of the 1930s appearing as an element in the name N. Elfaron “Sky-hunter”, an agental form of the verb N. fara- “to hunt” (Ety/SPAR).

feredir

noun. hunter

A word for “hunter” in The Etymologies of the 1930s, a combination of the verb N. fara- “to hunt” with the agental suffix N. -dir (Ety/SPAR). It had a (class) plural form faradrim; perhaps in this case the class plural was also used as the ordinary plural. This word shows *i*-affection from its suffix -dir, causing the a’s in the word to become e’s. This is unusual, especially in later Sindarin, where in “recognized compounds” the initial element of the compound did not normally undergo i-affection: compare S. randir “wanderer” with initial element from ran-.

rembë

noun. mesh; net (for catching), hunter’s or fisher’s net

A word appearing in a footnote in The Lord of the Rings appendices as a cognate to S. rem “mesh” (LotR/1115). In notes on The Rivers and Beacon-hills of Gondor from 1967-69 Tolkien translated this word as “net (for catching)” (VT42/12) or “a hunter’s or fisher’s net” (VT42/29), derived from the root √REB or √REM “entangle, snare, trap” (VT42/12). As such, I think “net (for catching)” is its original Quenya sense, and it would be used for “mesh” only metaphorically. The word rembe also appeared in Late Notes on Verb Structure (LVS) from 1969 in the untranslated phrase raita rembë, probably meaning “✱knit a net” (PE22/159).

Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. maksella “mesh”, a diminutive form of ᴱQ. makse “net” (QL/58).
