saur
noun. hound, wild dog
The word G. saur “hound, wild dog” appeared in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/67), probably a cognate of ᴱQ. savar “wild dog, jackal” under the early root ᴱ√SAẆA (QL/82).
Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I’d update this word to ᴺS. huar “wild dog” using the later root ᴹ√KHUG that seems to have replaced ᴱ√SAẆA (Ety/KHUGAN); compare to ᴺQ. huar of similar meaning.
hûbi
noun. hound
huan
noun. hound, hound, [ᴱQ.] dog
A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “hound” derived from primitive ᴹ✶khugan under the root ᴹ√KHUG “bark, bay” (Ety/KHUGAN). It was followed a parenthetical form (húnen), likely a genitive, indicating a stem form of hún-. This word served as the basis for the name of the great Valinorian hound Huan.
Conceptual Development: The forms huan and {hwan >>} huan appeared in both the Qenya Lexicon and Qenya Phonology of the 1910s, but in both cases this word was revised to ᴱQ. fan (fand-) “dog” (QL/37; PE12/26). This word was derived from the early root ᴱ√SAẆA < sǝwǝ (QL/82) and primitive forms ᴱ✶swandǝ (PE12/26) or ᴱ✶swǝnd- (QL/82). The vacillation from huan to fan reflects Tolkien’s uncertainty on the development of initial sw- in Early Qenya, either to hw- > hu- or to f- (PE12/26 note #26). The form ᴱQ. huan (huand-) “dog” appeared in Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s (PE16/132). It appeared again in The Etymologies, with a new gloss “hound”, a revised derivation and a new stem form hún- (see above).
khugan
noun. hound
An adjective meaning “bad (of food), putrid” in Definitive Linguistic Notes (DLN) from 1959 based on the root √SAWA “disgusting, foul, vile” that was the basis of the (Quenya) name Sauron (PE17/183). In a marginal note Tolkien said “No. THAW-, cruel. Saura, cruel”, apparently rejecting this etymology, but then he wrote an “X” next to the marginal note (PE17/184).
Conceptual Development: The Etymologies of the 1930s had N. thaw “corrupt, rotten” under the root ᴹ√THUS, also connected to the name Sauron (Ety/THUS).
Neo-Sindarin: For purpose of Neo-Sindarin, I think saur “putrid” and thaw “corrupt” can coexist.
