Sindarin

rath is a Sindarin word meaning "street (in a city)".[1][2][3]

Apparently rath can also mean "climb" (noun), as seen in Andrath ("Long Climb").[4] This definition also appears in David Salo's Neo-Sindarin wordlist.[5]

Etymology

Christopher Tolkien has noted that the noun rath derives from the stem rath- ("climb").[3]

Examples

Noldorin

rath is a Noldorin word meaning "course, river-bed".[6]

Etymology

The word derives from Old Noldorin rattha, from root RAT ("walk").[6]
