lhae

noun. great number

A word in The Etymologies of the 1930s appearing as N. lhae “great number” derived from primitive ᴹ✶lai- which was an a-fortified form of the root ᴹ√LI “many” (EtyAC/LI).

Neo-Sindarin: Many Neo-Sindarin writers adapt this word as ᴺS. lae “great number” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin as suggested in HSD (HSD), since the unvoicing of initial l to lh was a feature of Noldorin of the 1930s but not Sindarin of the 1950s and 60s.

Conceptual Development: Early Noldorin word-lists of the 1920s had {lhî “folk” >>} ᴱN. lhí “many, a number” from primitive ᴱ✶lē (PE13/148).

Middle Primitive Elvish

rim

root. abound; large number

A likely precursor to this root appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s as ᴱ√‘(A)ṚM(A)R and ᴱ√‘ṚMṚ with a Gnomish form ᴱ√grimri· (QL/32), indicating the actual primitive form was ✱ᴱ√ƷṚMṚ. Derivatives of this early root include ᴱQ. arm- “gather, collect” and G. grim “host, folk”, the last of these the likely precursor to N. rhim.

The root ᴹ√RIM appeared in Primitive Quendian Structure: Final Consonants from 1936, glossed “host, large number” >> “number, plenty” (PE21/57). It also appeared in The Etymologies written around 1937, with gloss “abound” and derivatives such as ᴹQ. rimbe/N. rhim “crowd, host” (Ety/RIM). The roots ᴹ√SRĪ, SRĬMĬ, and SRIMBI “abound” appeared in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from the late 1940s, quickly revised to ᴹ√RĪ, RĬMĬ, and RIMBI (PE23/100 note #34). Quenya and Sindarin forms Q. rimbë and S. rim continued to appear in Tolkien’s later writing (Let/382; PE17/50; UT/318), so it is likely the root √RIM remained valid, especially given the prevalence of suffix -rim in Sindarin collective names.
