sar (pl. *sarni) is a noun meaning "stone" in Quenya.
[edit] Etymology
Sar is unusual in Quenya for being a proper one-syllable noun whose vowel is not compensatorily lengthened in the nominative case. One would expect *sarno > **sár
[edit] Example
[edit] Cognates
[edit] Other versions
The Etymologies give the stem of the word as sard- (eg. plural sardi) however in another source, the stem of the name Elessar is given as Elesarno[1]. This, and the Sindarin word sarn, point out that the stem was corrected by Tolkien to sarn-.
