A word for “down” in The Etymologies under the root ᴹ√DAT “fall down”; Tolkien marked dad as EN [Exhilic Noldorin] (Ety/DAT). The original ink entry had a prefix dad- “down” that Tolkien simply marked as N[oldorin] (EtyAC/DAT).

Conceptual Development: Early Noldorin Word-lists had ᴱN. dad as an element in words like ᴱN. dadvenn “downhill” (PE13/139) and ᴱN. dadnuin “sinking down” (PE13/161).

neledh-

verb. *to go in, enter

The form neledhi appeared in the phrase N. lheben teil brann i annon ar neledh neledhi gar godrebh “five foot high the door and three may walk abreast”, appearing on a preliminary sketch of Thrór’s Map from 1936 (TAI/92, 150 and note #6). The interpretation of this phrase is difficult; Tolkien also wrote an Old English translation of the phrase which ended “þrie maeg samod þurghgangend” = “three may together through-go”, which is inconsistent with its Modern English translation.

Didier Willis (PED-TAI) and David Salo (GS/217) suggested this form is the Noldorin-style infinitive neledhi of a verb neledh- “to enter”, so that neledhi gar = “✱may enter”, distinct from both English and Old English translations. They further suggested this verb is a combination of N. ne- “in” and N. ledh- “go”, seen respectively as elements in N. nestag- “stick in” (Ety/STAK) and N. egledhia- “go into exile” (Ety/LED) in The Etymologies of the 1930s, the latter based on ON. led- “to fare”. The entry for the full phrase has a discussion of alternate theories.

rhain

adjective. free

The Etymologies of the 1930s had N. {rhein >>} rhain “free” derived from ᴹ✶(a)ranı̯ā under the root ᴹ√RAN “wander, stray”; it also had a deleted variant erein, presumably from aranı̯ā (EtyAC/RAN). See also S. rain “erratic wandering” for a later appearance of a similarly derived word.

Neo-Sindarin: Many Neo-Sindarin writers adapt this adjective as ᴺS. rain “free” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, as suggested in HSD (HSD), since the unvoicing of initial r to rh was a feature of Noldorin of the 1930s but not Sindarin of the 1950s and 60s. I would use it as “free” in the sense “✱unconstrained”.
