Q. Nárië n. “June, *Fire-ness” (Category: Names of the Months)
Name of the sixth month of the year in the Westron calendar corresponding to “June” (LotR/1110). It is apparently an elaboration of nár “fire”, so perhaps meaning “*Fire-ness”.
Conceptual Development: In drafts of The Lord of the Rings appendices, this name was already ᴹQ. Nárie and it appeared with an alternate name ᴹQ. Erlaire “*First Summer” = ᴹQ. er “one” + ᴹQ. laire “summer” (PM/134-135).
