Ad. Nimruzîr m. “*Elf-friend”

Ad. Nimruzîr m. “*Elf-friend”
The Adûnaic name for Q. Elendil “Elf-friend”, almost certainly with the same meaning (SD/247). The first element is the objective form of Nimir “Elf” and the second element is an agental-formation for zîr- “*to love” (SD/389).

Conceptual Development: The first Adûnaic version of this name, Nimruzân, shares the same suffix as the first Adûnaic version of his father’s Adûnaic name Arbazân.
