nornhabar
place name. Dwarrowdelf
An earlier Sindarin translation of Khazad-dûm, replaced by Hadhodrond (WJ/209). It is a compound of norn “hard”, which is sometimes used as a name for Dwarves, and the lenited form of ✱sabar “delving”. A variant Dornhabar appears in Tolkien’s Words, Phrases and Passages from the Lord of the Rings (PE17/35), changing the initial element to dorn of similar meaning. The form Domhabar that was originally published in PE17 is confirmed to have been an error; see the Parma Eldalamberon Errata (PEE).
hadhu
noun. seat, seat, *chair
A word appearing as haðw “seat” in Late Notes on Verb Structure from 1969 derived from primitive ✶khadmā (PE22/148). In more typical Sindarin orthography it would be hadhu. Based on earlier versions of this word, it may mean “✱chair” as well (see below).
Conceptual Development: The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. dorn “seat” (GL/19), clearly based on the early root ᴱ√ÐORO “sit” (QL/85). In Early Noldorin Word-lists this became ᴱN. {hód >>} haud “seat” (PE13/147).
A draft entry to The Etymologies of the 1930s had N. hand “seat” and N. hanw “chair” derived from the root ᴹ√KHAD (EtyAC/KHAM). Tolkien updated this root form to ᴹ√KHAM “sit” with a noun form N. ham or hanw, with a hard-to-read gloss that was probably “?chair” (Ety/KHAM; EtyAC/KHAM). Tolkien then created yet another root ᴹ√KHAM “call to, summon”, saying that “KHAM sit (replacing KHAD, cancelled)”, so apparently the root for “sit” reverted back to KHAD. This is supported by the 1969 “seat” word haðw seen above.
