noun. beaver, (lit.) build-rat

A neologism for “beaver” coined by Dírheron on Discord in 2019, a combination of carasta- “build” and [ᴹQ.] nyarro “rat”. He also proposed a reduced form ᴺQ. castor, a multi-lingual pun with Latin “castor” of the same meaning.

carnistir

masculine name. Red-face

The mother-name of S. Caranthir, from which his Sindarin name was derived (PM/353). It is a compound of carnë (carni-) “red” and the primitive form stīrē “face” (VT41/10). In other writings Tolkien gave the words anta or cendelë for “face”.

Conceptual Development: Tolkien also briefly considered the form Carastir in a marginal note (VT41/10).
