S. Remmirath pn. “Netted Jewels”
Sindarin name for the constellation of Pleiades, translated “Netted Stars” (LotR/81) or “Netted Jewels” (PE17/121). The name is a combination of rem “mesh, net” and the class-plural of mîr “jewel” (LotR/1115, VT42/12, PE17/24).
Conceptual Development: In the Gnomish Lexicon from the 1910s, the name of the constellation Pleiades was given as G. Sithaloth or Sithaloctha “Fly-cluster” (GL/68).
