nand

noun. field, valley

A Doriathrin noun meaning “field, valley” (Ety/NAD), also appearing as nan and described as “land at foot of hill with many streams” (EtyAC/NAD).

dôr

noun. land

A Doriathrin noun for “land” (EtyAC/NDOR) apparently from primitive ᴹ✶ndorē (Ety/NDOR). If its primitive form indeed had a short [o], then this word may be an example of how short vowels sometimes lengthened in monosyllables in Ilkorin.

nan dungorthin

place name. Vale of Black Horror

A Doriathrin precursor to S. Nan Dungortheb (LR/261), given in The Etymologies as a combination of nand “valley”, dunn “black” and ngorthin “horrible” (Ety/NAD, DUN, ÑGOROTH).

gangel

noun. harp

A noun meaning “harp” derived from the root ᴹ√ÑGAN(AD) (Ety/ÑGAN), probably from a primitive form ✱✶ngandellē based on its Quenya cognate ᴹQ. nandelle. Its plural form genglin is a good representation of the rules for plural nouns in Ilkorin: the suffix -in, the syncope of the final vowel and mutation of other vowels. It is also an example of how primitive [[ilk|[nd] sometimes became [ŋg]]] in Ilkorin. As suggested by Helge Fauskanger, this may be due to assimilation to the preceding [g] (AL-Ilkorin/gangel).
