Gar

gar is a Noldorin word of uncertain meaning.

The word appears in two places:

  1. in a phrase on a draft of Thrór's Map: "Lheben teil brann i annon ar neledh neledhi gar godrebh"
  2. in an Elvish poem published in The Monsters and the Critics: "[...] Damrod dir hanach dalath benn gar meilien [...]"

David Kiltz has suggested that gar likely means "to go", or something similar. Hammond and Scull also appear to translate gar as "go" in their translation of the phrase on the draft of Thrór's Map.

Other versions of the legendarium

In the earlier Gnomish, gar means "place, district".
