Daur in the Song of Praise

The Sindarin word Daur appears in the song of praise of Frodo and Sam at the Field of Cormallen.[3][4]

While it has been suggested that daur is the lenited form of taur ("lofty, noble" or "king"),[5][6] the reliability of these theories has also been contested (being called "speculation").[7]
