S. ?brithon adj. “pebbly” (Category: Rock, Stone)
Used as the name of the river S. Brithon. In The Etymologies of the 1930s, this word was Ilkorin and translated Ilk. brithon “pebbly” (Ety/BIRÍT). This word likely became Sindarin after Tolkien abandoned the Ilkorin language, perhaps with the same meaning.
