gûr
noun. heart (inner mind)
A word for “heart (inner mind)” in notes from the late 1960s, equivalent to Q. órë (VT41/11). In the original article published in VT41 in July 2000, Carl Hostetter gave its primitive form as ʒōrē, but in his later book The Nature of Middle-Earth published in 2021, he corrected this to gōrē (NM/219).
Conceptual Development: Early Noldorin word-lists from the 1920s had N. gir glossed “interior, centre, inwards, inner parts” (PE13/144) or “inwards, interior, inside, heart” (PE13/161).

The acute accent in nín has sometimes been regarded as an error for a slanted macron in the manuscript, since all the other attested personal adjectives from Sauron defeated all have a circumflex accent. It was however noted that if the acute accent is confirmed, then this word is probably an enclitic, see HL/73. The acute accent is now confirmed by VT/44
nín
pronoun. my
Apparently the word gûr.1 with a suffixed possessive. See lammen for a similar form
