ᴺS. [N.] ^sain adj. “new” (Category: New)
N. sein adj. “new” (Category: New)
A word appearing as N. sein “new” in The Etymologies of the 1930s under the root ᴹ√SI “this, here, now” (Ety/SI), cognate to [ᴹQ.] sinya “new” and thus clearly derived from *sinyā via a-affection of i to e [seni(a)] followed by i-intrusion [sein].
Neo-Sindarin: In Tolkien’s Sindarin of the 1950s and 60s ei became ai in final syllables, so many Neo-Sindarin writers adapt this word as ᴺS. sain “new” as suggested in Hiswelókë’s Sindarin Dictionary (HSD).
