Ad. Abrazân m. “*Steadfast, Faithful”
The Adûnaic name that Lowdham used to address Jeremy in Tolkien’s unfinished story: “The Notion Club Papers” (SD/252). In
an earlier version of the story, Jeremy was called ᴹQ.
Voronwe (SD/290) and
Abrazân may be the Adûnaic equivalent of that name, meaning “Steadfast, Faithful”. If so, its first element is probably related to
Ad.
abâr “strength, endurance, fidelity”. Andreas Moehn suggested (
EotAL/BAR) that the entire name may be the
agental-formation of an unattested verb *
abrazâ- “to stand fast”.
