S. dannen [nd-] n. “ebb, lowtide” (Category: to Flow)

S. dannen [nd-], n. “ebb, lowtide” (Category: to Flow)

A noun for “ebb, lowtide” appearing in notes on Variation D/L in Common Eldarin from the late 1960s as the Sindarin equivalent of nanwë “flood, high tide” (VT48/24). It is probably a combination of dan “back” and nen “water” as suggested by Patrick Wynne (VT48/32 note #19).
