S. #tân n. “builder, smith, wright, artificer” (Category: Artisan, Craftsman)

S. #tân, n. “builder, smith, wright, artificer” (Category: Artisan, Craftsman)
G. tan “firewood”
G. ûr “smith”

An element in various words with senses like “builder, smith, wright, artificer”. N. tân was also an element in a number of words in The Etymologies of the 1930s, based on the root ᴹ√TAN “make, fashion” (Ety/KIR, TAN). In notes from the late 1960s, Tolkien revised the primitive root to √TAM “construct”, but he said that “in Sindarin the base appeared mostly in form √TAN owing to contact with √PAN ‘arrange, set in order’ (PE17/108)”. It is not clear whether the element -tan can be used as independent word, but if it can then it would have the form tân.
