S. final [rr] became [r]; [-rr] > [-r]
Based on a single example, it seems that long final [rr] became single [r] in Noldorin:
Given the frequency with which other long final consonants shortened, it seems likely this change applied to Sindarin as well, and the lack of examples is simply a coincidence.
Conceptual Developments: It seems probable this change also applied to Gnomish and Early Noldorin in the 1910s and 1920s as well, but there are no clear examples.
