A noun for “hammer” appearing only as an element in the name Glamdring “Foe-hammer” (PE17/84). The Etymologies of the 1930s had this name under the root ᴹ√DRING “beat, strike” (Ety/DRING). Given that the orcs called Glamdring “Beater”, this might also be an alternate translation of dring.
Conceptual Development: The Etymologies of the 1930s also had N. dam “a hammer” under the root ᴹ√NDAM “hammer, beat” (Ety/NDAM). The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. odrum or adrum “hammer” (GL/62), probably based on the early root ᴱ√D(A)RAM “to batter, thud, beat” from the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon (QL/89).
