Eldamo : Danian/Ossiriandic : swarn

Dan. swarn adj. “perverse, obstinate, hard to deal with”

Dan. swarn adj. “perverse, obstinate, hard to deal with”

An adjective glossed “perverse, obstinate, hard to deal with” developed from the root ᴹ√SKWAR (Ety/SKWAR), perhaps from a primitive form *✶skwarnā as suggested by Helge Fauskanger (AL-Nandorin/swarn). Here the initial [skw] became [sw], consistent with the changes described in the Comparative Tables (PE19/20).
