othui

ordinal. seventh

A word for “seventh” appearing in notes on numbers associated with The Rivers and Beacon-hills of Gondor from the late 1960s, derived from primitive ✶otsōyā and with a longer variant odothui (VT42/25). Earlier drafts of The Rivers and Beacon-hills of Gondor also had othui (VT42/10). Rough notes from around this period had ochui “✱seventh” (VT47/41-42 note #72), perhaps derived from ✱otkōya as suggested by Patrick Wynne.

Conceptual Development: Lord of the Rings drafts of the 1940s had N. {Odotheg >>} Odothui “Seventh” as an alternate name for the river Gwathlo (TI/312).
