Eldamo : Sindarin : cor

S. cor n. “ring, circle” (Category: Circle)

S. cor, n. “ring, circle” (Category: Circle): ᴱN. crithos “ring; [G.] circle”; G. †drinn “ring, disc”; G. grail “ring, circle, circlet”

A word appearing as an element in Cormallen and translated as either “circle” or “ring” (RC/625). It is probably based on √KOR “round”.

Conceptual Development: The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. corm “a ring, or circle; a disc” with a deleted gloss “a globe” (GL/26), likely derived from the early root ᴱ√KORO.

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would only use cor as an element in compounds like echor. For stand-alone words, I would use corod for “circle” and [ᴺS.] corf for “(finger) ring”.
