Doriathrin
go
preposition. from, away; patronymic
luithien go thingol
Luithien go Thingol
nivra-
verb. to face, go forward
laur
noun. gold
A Doriathrin noun for “gold” developed from primitive ᴹ✶laurē, properly golden light rather than the metal (Ety/LÁWAR).
gwo- Archaic
prefix. together
gad
noun. fence
A Doriathrin noun meaning “fence” derived from the root ᴹ√GAT(H) (Ety/GAT(H)), most likely from a primitive form ✱✶gat-. As pointed out by Helge Fauskanger (AL-Doriathrin/gad), its gloss is a bit peculiar, given that the other derivatives of its root same to have meanings associated with caves. As Mr. Fauskanger suggested, this may represent a transition in Tolkien’s thinking on the meaning of the associated name Doriath: “Land of the Cave” (Ety/GAT(H)) >> “Land of the Fence” (WJ/370).
ho
preposition. from
nef
noun. face
A Doriathrin noun meaning “face” derived from the root ᴹ√NIB (Ety/NIB). The vowel change suggests a primitive form ✱✶niba, where the [i] became [e] because of Ilkorin *a*-affection. If this is the case, it is not a direct cognate of N. nîf “front, face”.
A preposition “from, away” marked as both Ilkorin (Ety/ƷŌ̆; PE21/60) and Doriathrin (EtyAC/ƷŌ̆). It developed from primitive ᴹ✶ʒō̆ (Ety/WŌ), with the [[ilk|initial [ɣ] becoming [g]]]. It was also used as patronymic, as in go-Thingol “✱child of Thingol” (Ety/ƷŌ̆).
Conceptual Development: This preposition may be a restoration of the Gnomish patronymic G. go-. In Tolkien’s later writings, Common Eldarin: Noun Structure (EVS2) from around 1950 mentioned a similar Beleriandic preposition ho “from” derived from ✶ʒō̆ which influenced a patronymic hon based on {✶jond- >>} ✶ʒond- “son”. This late appearance was shortly before he abandoned Ilkorin/Beleriandic entirely.
