AR
From Tolkien Gateway
AR is an Elvish root meaning "beyond, further than".[1][2]
Derivatives[edit]
- Root ARI/ARAN/ARAT
- Quenya ar
- Sindarin ar-
Other versions of the legendarium[edit]
In the Etymologies there are two homophonus roots: AR1 is a root which signifies "day" and it seems to have been redefined by Tolkien (cf. AS); the root AR2 has no exact signification although its derivatives relate to "outsideness"; the general sense seems to be somewhat retained for the root AR as given in Eldarin Roots and Stems).[3]
