Ad. minal n. (strong-I neut) “the heavens, sky” (Category: Sky, Heavens)

Ad. minal n. (strong-I neut) “the heavens, sky” (Category: Sky, Heavens)
An Adûnaic noun for “the heaven” or “sky”, cognate of Q. menel but not a direct loan word from Quenya (SD/241). It was borrowed from Primitive Elvish, probably from an Avari dialect, and therefore underwent different phonetic development (SD/414). In one place Tolkien changed it minil (SD/414), but the form minal appears in various compounds and is probably to be preferred.
