eluchíl

masculine name. Thingol’s Heir, (lit.) Heir of Elu

Sobriquet of Dior, grandson of Elu Thingol, translated “Thingol’s Heir” (S/188) but more correctly “Heir of Elu”. His name is a combination of the name of his grandfather Elu and the lenited form chíl of hîl “heir” (SA/khil, PM/369).

hîl

noun. heir

A word for “heir” appearing only as an element in Eluchíl “Thingol’s Heir” (S/188; PM/369). It is clearly the Sindarin equivalent of Q. hildë “heir”.

Conceptual Development: The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. hilmir “heir (m. or f.)” based on G. hilm “posterity, descendants, progeny” (GL/49).

hîl

heir

1) #hîl (i chîl), same forms in pl., also with article (i chîl), coll. pl. híliath. Isolated from the name Eluchíl, heir of Elu (WJ:350). 2) rêd (construct red), pl.rîd (idh rîd). The word is presented as a borrowing from Beorian, so it may not be the normal Sindarin word for ”heir”.
