adjective. sunburnt, swart, dark-brown

amrog-dorn

noun. brown wanderer, gipsy

A word glossed “brown wanderer, gipsy” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, a combination of G. amrog “wanderer” and the mutated form of G. torn “swart, dark-brown”, with a plural form amruith-torni (GL/19). It is not clear how plural amruith relates to singular amrog, but it might contain a variant form of G. gwaith “people” (GL/44): amr + gw(a)ith > amrwith > amruith.
