N. rhaw² n. “bank (especially of a river)” (Category: Brook, Stream, River)

⚠️N. rhaw², n. “bank (especially of a river)” (Category: Brook, Stream, River)
ᴺS. ^raw¹ “bank (especially of a river)”

A noun given as N. rhaw “bank, especially of a river” in The Etymologies of the 1930s, a derivative of the root ᴹ√RAB, also the basis for N. rham “wall” (Ety/RAMBĀ; EtyAC/RAMBĀ).

Neo-Sindarin: If adapted to Neo-Sindarin, this would would become ᴺS. raw as suggested in Hiswelókë’s Sindarin Dictionary (HSD), but I think it is better still to use the less ambiguous N. duirro for “river bank” given the other homonyms for S. raw.
