thúren

adjective. guarded, hidden

An adjective meaning “guarded, hidden” derived from the root ᴹ√THUR (Ety/THUR). Most likely the primitive form was ✱✶thūrinā as suggested by Helge Fauskanger (AL-Ilkorin/thúren), where the [[ilk|short [i] became [e] preceding the final [a]]], before the final vowel vanished.
