Etymology
Sindarin
- "Beside, without" (archaic)
- A shorter form of ara, "high, lofty, noble"
- Âr "king (used of a lord or king of a specified region)"

Examples
- Phrase on a draft of Thrór's Map: "Lheben teil brann i annon ar neledh neledhi gar godrebh" ("Five feet high the gate and three by three they go through together"[2] or "Five feet high the door and three may walk abreast"[3][4])
Westron
