A word for “cloak, mantle” implied by the name Thingol “Grey Cloak, Grey Mantle” and its Quenya cognate Sindacollo containing Q. collo “cloak” (S/56; SA/thin(d); PE17/72), clearly derived from √KOL “bear, carry, wear” (PE17/158).

naw Archaic

adjective. hollow

An archaic word for “hollow” derived from primitive ✶nābā, largely replaced by S. coll “hollow” in modern Sindarin as mentioned in the Quendi and Eldar essay from 1959-60 (WJ/414). It survived as nǭf in the Northern dialect of Sindarin, but in other dialects the ǭ became au, after which the final v was lost, making the word naw rather indistinctive leading it to fall out of use.
