N. rhaun adj. “errant” (Category: to Wander, Stray)

⚠️N. rhaun, adj. “errant” (Category: to Wander, Stray)
ᴺS. ^raun “errant”

An adjective appearing as N. rhaun in The Etymologies of the 1930s, equivalent to ᴹQ. ránen “errant” under the root ᴹ√RAN “wander, stray” (Ety/RAN), with the ancient final n lost and the long ā becoming au as usual in Noldorin/Sindarin.

Neo-Sindarin: Many Neo-Sindarin writers adapt this verb as ᴺS. raun “errant” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, as suggested in Hiswelókë’s Sindarin Dictionary (HSD), since the unvoicing of initial r to rh was a feature of Noldorin of the 1930s but not Sindarin of the 1950s and 60s.
