N. alagos n. “storm (of wind)” (Category: Storm)

N. alagos, n. “storm (of wind)” (Category: Storm)
ᴱN. huiriaith “gale”
G. nigweth “(snow) storm”

A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “storm of wind”, an elaboration of N. alag “rushing” so perhaps “*(lit.) rushing (of winds)” (Ety/ÁLAK). A similar (masculinized?) form appeared in the name N. Ancalagon “Biting-Storm” (Ety/NAK). Tolkien continued to use this name in later writings, but it was untranslated.
