N. Edegil pn. “Seven Stars”
A Noldorin name for the constellation
Valakirka appearing in
The Etymologies from the 1930s with the gloss “Seven Stars” (Ety/OT), a combination of
odog “seven” with the plural of
geil “star”. Although the first element
edeg also seems to be a plural, more like it is simply the
Noldorin i-affection of
odog due to the
i in the final syllable.
