This word appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s as ᴱQ. yara “a gloom, blight, lowering darkness” under the early root ᴱ√YAÐA (QL/105). In the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, an alternate form yaru appeared as a cognate of G. gath “gloom, blight” (GL/37), and in an early name list yáru was the final element in ᴱQ. Fuiyáru “deadly nightshade” (PE15/14).
