farn

enough

A word in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “enough” derived from the root ᴹ√PHAR “reach, go all the way, suffice” (Ety/PHAR; EtyAC/PHAR). It might function as either an adjective or a pronoun, for example: sa nen farn “that [is] enough water” vs. sa farn “that [is] enough”.

Conceptual Development: The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. farn “mark, boundary; shore” (GL/34). Early Noldorin word-lists had ᴱN. farn without any translation (PE13/143).

athan

preposition. beyond

A word appearing in Lord of the Rings drafts of the 1940s in the name N. Bronwe athan Harthad “Endurance beyond Hope” (SD/62). According to Christopher Tolkien, the form athan is very unclear and uncertain (SD/70 note #6). It might instead be athar, which would be more compatible with the root √THAR “across, beyond” (PE17/14; Ety/THAR).

Conceptual Development: The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. {athron “further, beyond” >>} adron “further, beyond, over, on other side” based on G. {athra “across, athwart” >>} adr(a) “lying athwart; situated on far side” (GL/17). This hints that later athan “beyond” may be based on N. ath- “across” (Ety/AT(AT)).
