Ad. Kherû m. “Lord”
A rejected draft version of the Adûnaic name for Morgoth translated “Lord”, replaced by
Arûn of the same meaning (SD/376). It is transparently a derivative of the Elvish root ᴹ√
KHER, as suggested by Carl Hostetter and Patrick Wynn (
AAD/18). A later form of this word, *
khôr “lord”, may appears as an element in the name
Adûnakhôr “Lord of the West”.
