ᴱN. dadnuv- v. “*to sink, go down” (Category: to Sink)
A verb form of ᴱN. dadnuin “sinking (down)” in the Early Noldorin Dictionary of the 1920s (PE13/164), so probably meaning “*to sink, go down”. It had a 3rd. sg. form dadnú and a masculine form dadnuveg, implying a stem form dadnuv- where the v vanished after u when final. It seems to be a combination of ᴱN. dad “down” and ᴱN. nuv- “sink, set” (PE13/151, 164).
