heren
noun. fortune, (lit.) governance
A word in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “fortune” derived from the root ᴹ√KHER “rule, govern, possess” (Ety/KHER). Tolkien indicated the literal meaning of this noun was “governance”, and its actual sense is “what is in store for one and what one has in store”. Thus I believe it is “fortune” in this sense of what is due to you, both by dint of your own efforts and was it owed to you by your position in society, as opposed to mere luck. In the first draft of this entry heren had the additional glosses “goods, wealth”, but these were deleted (EtyAC/KHER).
