N. thórod n. “torrent” (Category: to Flow)
A noun for “torrent” in The Etymologies of the 1930s based on the root ᴹ√THOR “come swooping down” (Ety/THOR; EtyAC/THOR). In The Etymologies as published in The Lost Road Christopher Tolkien gave the form as thórod (LR/393), but Carl Hostetter and Patrick Wynne corrected this to thôrod in their Addenda and Corrigenda to the Etymologies (VT46/19). However, in normal Sindarin/Noldorin orthography ô is only used for monosyllables, so thórod is the expected form.
