S. Nórui n. “June, *Fiery” (Category: Names of the Months)
Name of the sixth month of the year in the Westron calendar (LotR/1110) corresponding to “June” (PM/135). It appears to be an adjective form of naur “fire”, perhaps meaning “*Fiery”.
Conceptual Development: In drafts of The Lord of the Rings appendices, this name was already Nórui and it appeared with an alternate name Eblaer or Ebloer “*Before Summer” = eb “*before” + S. laer or N. loer “summer” (PM/135-136).
