Q. tarhanwa n. “throne, (lit.) high seat” (Category: Chair)
A noun for “throne” in Late Notes on Verb Structure (LVS) written in 1969, a combination of tar- “high” and hanwa “seat” (PE22/148). Tolkien previously considered a form arkanwar which also seems to mean “*thrones” (PE22/147 and note #10), where the initial element was ar(a)- “noble, high”.
