Urwen, also called Lalaith, was the second child of Húrin and Morwen, sister of Túrin and Nienor.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
Urwen was a happy child and her parents gave her the nickname "Laughter" (Lalaith), from the nearby river, Nen Lalaith. Her presence in the house of Húrin brought much joy to Dor-lómin that she was often compared to Elven children by most people. Túrin, her older brother, loved his sister, but preferred watching her unseen rather than playing with her as she ran and sang. She was three years old when she died of the Evil Breath sent out from Angband.[2]
Legacy[edit | edit source]
After recovering of his ill, Túrin was ordered by his nurse to never mention Lalaith again, and speak of Urwen instead. His mother explained laughter had died in their home, blaming the Enemy.[2] Urwen's death was especially hard on Túrin, who always looked for her likeness in women ever after,[3] which is shown by how he considers Finduilas to be similar to how he imagined an older Urwen.[4]
Etymology[edit | edit source]
Urwen is Sindarin, but it is not glossed, although it is clearly the combination of the elements ûr ("fire, hot") + gwenn ("maiden").[5]
Her nickname, lalaith, is a Sindarin noun meaning "laughter".[6]
