S. rust n. “copper” (Category: Copper, Bronze)

S. rust, n. “copper” (Category: Copper, Bronze): √URUN “copper”; ᴺS. !urun “copper”

A noun for “copper” in notes from the late 1960s based on the root √(u)rus (VT41/10).

Conceptual Development: The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. tăm “copper” (GL/69), clearly the cognate of ᴱQ. tambe “copper, bronze” under the early root ᴱ√TAMA “beat; smelt, forge” in the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon (QL/88).
