roquen noun "horseman [but the Quenya word does not show gender], rider, knight" (WJ:372, UT:282)

roquen

noun. horseman, rider; knight

A word for a “horseman, rider” in the Quendi and Eldar essay of 1959-60, a reduction of ancient ✶roko-kwēn “✱horse-person” (WJ/372, 407). In notes on the Disaster of Gladden Fields, Tolkien translated roquen as “knight” for a rank higher than a mere ohtar “warrior” (UT/282 note #17), though apparently all ranks rode horses. It may be that the sense “knight” applies only in a [Gondorian?] military context, while in ordinary use roquen can apply to anyone capable of riding a horse. A more general term for a “knight” as a noble person would be arquen.

rochben

noun. (horse) rider

rochben

noun. rider

There was a word rochben “rider” (of any gender) in the Quendi and Eldar essay of 1959-60, a combination of roch “horse” with the suffix -ben “person” (WJ/376). Tolkien used it as an example of how Sindarin plurals applied only to the second element of recognized compounds: pl. rochbin “riders” rather than ✱✱rechbin; compare more ancient roechbin [rœchbin] where the plural mutation applied to the entire word, and modern erphin “nobles” plural of arphen [< ✱ar-pen], which is no longer recognized as a compound.

In notes on The Ride of Eorl, Tolkien instead had rochon “rider” in the song-name Rochon Methestel “Rider of the Last Hope” (UT/313). Since this used the masculine suffix -on, this was presumably a specifically male rider, as opposed to a female rider which might be ✱rochil.
