Doriathrin

thavon

noun. carpenter, wright, builder

A noun meaning “carpenter, wright, builder” derived from primitive ᴹ✶stabnō (Ety/STAB). The [[ilk|initial [s] spirantalized the following [t] to [θ] (“th”)]], while the [[ilk|[b] spirantalized to [v] after a vowel]], and [[ilk|[n] became syllabic, developing into [-on]]] after it became final. These developments were all suggested by Helge Fauskanger (AL-Ilkorin/thavon).
