lalaith

feminine name. Laughter

Name of Túrin’s deceased sister, translated “Laughter” (S/198). It is apparently the noun lalaith used as a name.

Conceptual Development: In Silmarillion revisions from the late 1950s, her name was changed to Lalaeth (MR/374), but that was not the name Christopher Tolkien used in the published Silmarillion.
