A noun for a “fathom” in The Etymologies of the 1930s derived from primitive ᴹ✶rakmē under the root ᴹ√RAK “stretch out, reach” (Ety/RAK). It is unclear whether this was an English fathom (6 feet) or some Middle Earth measure of similar length.
Neo-Sindarin: Many Neo-Sindarin writers adapt this word as ᴺS. raew “fathom” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin as suggested in HSD (HSD), since the unvoicing of initial r to rh was a feature of Noldorin of the 1930s but not Sindarin of the 1950s and 60s.
