branda in Telerin means "lofty, noble, fine".
Etymology
Primitive Elvish (perhaps Common Telerin) was b'randâ[1], apparently representing an even more primitive adjective *barándâ (stem BARÁD).
See also
branda in Westron means "border, march"[2].
Etymology
Perhaps it comes from a possible Adûnaic *barrad, root BAR.
