S. Nínui n. “February, *Watery” (Category: Names of the Months)
Name of the second month of the year in the Westron calendar (LotR/1110) corresponding to “February” (UT/279; PM/135). It seems to be an adjectival form of nîn “water”, so perhaps meaning “*Watery”.
Conceptual Development: In drafts of The Lord of the Rings appendices, this name was first given as Nenneth (PM/135).
