S. silivren adj. “(white) glittering, crystalline” (Category: Glass)
A word in the A Elbereth Gilthoniel prayer (LotR/238), loosely translated “[from] glittering crystal” or “[jewels of] crystal clear” (PE17/21) but actually an adjective meaning “(white) glittering” or “crystalline” (PE17/20-21; RGEO/64-65). It was based on the noun silef “crystal (white)” and in one place was given as silevren (PE17/23).
