S. Oraeron n. “Sea-day, *Thursday” (Category: Thursday)
The Sindarin word for “Sea-day”, a combination of or- “day” and the (g)aearon “sea” (LotR/1110). By aligning the Númenórean seven-day week with the modern English week, this is the equivalent of “*Thursday”.
Conceptual Development: Drafts of The Lord of the Rings appendices had Aroeren with the earlier prefix ar- (PM/130).
