Early Noldorin
himp
noun. jewel
Doriathrin
mîr Reconstructed
noun. jewel
A word for “jewel” attested only in compounds, probably of the same derivation and meaning as its Noldorin cognate N. mîr.
An element appearing in the names Zimraphel (UT/224) and Zimrathôn (UT/222) and also the Hadorian name Zimrahin (WJ/234). The corresponding Quenya names Q. Míriel and Q. Hostamir both seem to contain mírë “jewel”, so this is the likely meaning of the Adûnaic word as well, as suggested by most authors (AAD/25, AL/Adûnaic, EotAL/ZIM’R).
