⚠️G. duru, n. “wood; pole, beam, log” (Category: Wood, Timber): ᴺS. ^dravn “hewn log”

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “wood; a pole, beam or log” (GL/31), likely related to the early root ᴱ√TUŘU from the Qenya Lexicon as suggested by Christoper Tolkien (LT1A/Turuhalmë; QL/096), itself probably a blending of TUÐU and DURU.
