noun. orb of Moon
A word for the “orb of the Moon” appear in Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s and the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the 1910s derived from the early root ᴱ√RINI, except that the form was erased from the Qenya Lexicon (QL/80; PME/80). A variant of it seems to appear in the 1920s, the final dual element -ringwi in the word ᴱQ. ránuringwi “sun and moon” (PE14/76; PE15/75).
