Appendix:Sindarin/amlug

Sindarin

Etymology

Only attested in Tolkien’s earlier conception of the language (‘Noldorin’). Diegetically explained as am- (“snake”) +‎ lhûg (“dragon”), a formation parallel to Quenya angulócë (if cognate, the expected common ancestor would be Primitive Elvish *angwaslōkō, which is, however, not attested by Tolkien).

Noun

amlug • t#jx& (plural emlyg)

1. dragon

   Synonym: lhûg
