(lenited vedui; no distinct pl. form)

meth

noun/adjective. last, last; [N.] end

The noun N. meth “end” appeared in The Etymologies of the 1930s, derived from ᴹ✶metta under the root ᴹ√MET of the same meaning and followed by an adjective form N. methen that was also glossed “end” (Ety/MET). It reappeared as an element in the name Rochon Methestel “Rider of the Last Hope” (UT/313). It is therefore possible that meth shifted from a noun to an adjective, but its Quenya equivalent metta “ending, end” remained a noun in Tolkien’s later writings.

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would avoid meth as an independent word, and would use the unambiguous noun form methed and adjective forms medui or [N.] methen. If you do use meth, I recommend using it as a noun.

methed

noun. end

methed

noun. end

A word for “end” attested in later writings as an element in the names Methed-en-Glad “End of the Wood” (UT/153) and possibly Methedras “Last Peak” of the Misty Mountains (LotR/429; RC/366). The word methed is clearly a noun in the first name, but Methedras might actually be the adjective [N.] methen “end” + ras(s) “peak” with nr > dhr, since Tolkien sometimes represented dhr as dr in drafts of The Lord of the Rings. Compare draft [N.] Caradras vs. published Caradhras.
