erion

masculine name. Eldest

Earlier form of S. Iarwain appearing in Lord of the Rings drafts from the 1940s, translated “Eldest” and appearing beside N. Iaur (TI/125). It might be a superlative form of iaur “old”; in the Early Noldorin Grammar, the similar suffix -iant was used for the superlative (PE13/125). If the suffix -ion was a Noldorin superlative suffix, perhaps the initial [e] developed due to Noldorin i-affection.

place name. Norbury, (lit.) Northern Fortress

The old capital of Arnor, translated “Norbury” (LotR/9). It is a compound of forn “north” and ost “city, fortress” (SA/formen, os(t)).

Conceptual Development: In Lord of the Rings drafts from the 1940s, this name first appeared as N. Osforod “Northburg” (TI/120), later revised to N. Fornobel (TI/147) and finally Fornost (WR/76).

fuir

adjective. north

@@@ likely from [pʰorja] as suggested by David Salo (GS/255), thus a later version of than feir “right (hand)” with a different phonetic development. In the 2008 version of his Sindarin Dictionary, Didier Willis suggested fair as the Sindarized form of N. feir (HSD/fair), but more recent research indicates that fuir < ✱phorya is more likely, as suggested to me in a private chat by Elaran on 2018-08-26; see the entry on how [[s|[œi] became [ui] or [y]]] in Sindarin for further details.
