nóre (or nōre) is a Quenya word used for "'land' associated with a particular people".[1][2] In the early manuscript the Etymologies, Quenya nóre is glossed as "country, land, race".[3]
The suffix form -nórë, -ndórë or -dórë is often used to mean "-land". The -órë component of the suffix was often shortened by the Noldor to -or.[source?]
Helge Fauskanger has suggested that the form nórë (retaining the same basic meaning) could be valid Neo-Quenya.[4]
