Early Noldorin

nabhru

noun. booty

A word appearing as ᴱN. {nabru >>} nabhru “booty” with a variant naw derived from ᴱ✶nāma (PE13/150). It was probably connected to G. nab- “take, lay hold of” (GL/59) as suggested by the editors.

Neo-Sindarin: Since I retain ᴺS. nab- “to take, lay hold of”, I would retain and adapt this word as ᴺS. nabor “booty” to better fit latter Sindarin phonology; compare [N.] cabor “frog”.
