Ossriandric

swarn

adjective. perverse, obstinate, hard to deal with

An adjective glossed “perverse, obstinate, hard to deal with” developed from the root ᴹ√SKWAR (Ety/SKWAR), perhaps from a primitive form ✱✶skwarnā as suggested by Helge Fauskanger (AL-Nandorin/swarn). Here the [[dan|initial [skw] became [sw]]], consistent with the changes described in the Comparative Tables (PE19/20).
