thórod

noun. torrent

A noun for “torrent” in The Etymologies of the 1930s based on the root ᴹ√THOR “come swooping down” (Ety/THOR; EtyAC/THOR). In The Etymologies as published in The Lost Road Christopher Tolkien gave the form as thórod (LR/393), but Carl Hostetter and Patrick Wynne corrected this to thôrod in their Addenda and Corrigenda to the Etymologies (VT46/19). However, in normal Sindarin/Noldorin orthography ô is only used for monosyllables, so thórod is the expected form.

oll

celeg

adjective. swift, agile, hasty

lhagr

adjective. swift, rapid

The form lhegin in the published Etymologies might be a misreading for lhegrin, see VT/45:25. As noted by Bertrand Bellet, the two forms are listed side by side, and they may simply be doublets, but it is also possible that we have here a singular followed by its plural.

thalos

place name. Torrent

One of the seven streams from which Ossiriand got its name (S/123), and is simply thalos “torrent” used as a name (Ety/STAL). Given the river’s location in Ossiriand, this name might be Nandorin instead.

Conceptual Development: In The Etymologies from the 1930s, the name Thalos was designated Ilkorin, with the derivation given above (Ety/STAL). Like many of the river names in Ossiriand, Tolkien did not give a new etymology of the name after he abandoned the Ilkorin language.
