graw

noun. bear

Sindarin [VT/47:12] Group: SINDICT. Published by

graw

noun. bear

A Sindarin word for “bear” in notes from the late 1960s, derived from primitive ✶grā (VT47/12).

Neo-Sindarin: Its Quenya cognate Q. roa had the revised meaning {“bear” >>} “dog”, so for purposes of Neo-Sindarin it is probably best to stick with [N.] brôg and ᴺS. medli [N. megli] as words for “bear”.

Derivations

  • grā “dog, bear” ✧ VT47/12
    • GRAW “[unglossed], [ᴹ√] dark, swart” ✧ VT47/35
