A lady of the [[Westlands of Númenor]], who lived in the eighth and ninth centuries of the [[Second Age]]. Her husband was [[Beregar]], and together they had a daughter, [[Erendis]]. It was Erendis' troubled courtship and marriage to King [[Tar-Aldarion]] that formed the subject of one of very few tales to survive the [[Downfall of Númenor]], Aldarion and Erendis. Núneth's part in that tale is a small one, but she is shown as wise and insightful, offering valuable, but little heeded, advice to her daughter.
