rhû

noun. loud sound, trumpet-sound

An archaic noun appearing as N. †rhû “loud sound, trumpet-sound” in The Etymologies of the 1930s, derived from ON. rūma under the root ᴹ√ROM “loud noise, horn-blast” (Ety/ROM), where the ancient m became v and vanished after u. After these sound changes it seems this word was no longer distinct enough, and in modern speech was replaced by rhomru “sound of horns”.

Neo-Sindarin: Since the unvoicing of initial liquids did not occur in Sindarin, many people adapt this word as (still archaic) ᴺS. †rû for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, as suggested in HSD (HSD).

rhû

noun. matter

A Sindarin word appearing as {hrū >} rhû “matter” in Quenya Notes (QN) from 1957, cognate to Q. hrón “flesh/substance of Arda, matter” and derived from srōn < √SRON, a root variation of √RON “solid, tangible, firm”. In later writings Tolkien revised its Quenya cognate to {orma} > erma (MR/218, 231 note #26, 338, 359 note #14).

Neo-Sindarin: I would retain S. rhû for “matter”, and would assume it was of independent derivation from its Quenya equivalent.
