Hoth

Revision as of 22:27, 28 May 2011 by Morgan (talk | contribs) (perhaps add this clarification?)

hoth is a Sindarin word meaning "host, horde (nearly always in a bad sense)".[1][2]

In Noldorin (an early version of Sindarin) the word hoth means "host, crowd" and is "frequent in people-names". It derives from Primitive Quendian khotsē "assembly" (root KHOTH- "gather").[3]
