S. rom n. “horn, trumpet” (Category: Horn, Trumpet)

S. rom, n. “horn, trumpet” (Category: Horn, Trumpet)

A noun for “horn, trumpet” based on the root √ROM mentioned in the Quendi and Eldar essay written in 1959-1960 (WJ/400).

Conceptual Development: The Etymologies of the 1930s had N. rhom “horn, trumpet” under the root ᴹ√ROM (Ety/ROM), where the initial r was unvoiced as was usual in Noldorin of the 1930s (but not later Sindarin). The Early Noldorin Dictionary of the 1920s had ᴱN. hont “trumpet, a trumpeting noise” (PE13/163), while the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. ligin “a curved horn, trump” (GL/54), clearly related to ᴱQ. likin “horn, curled horn” from the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon (QL/54).
