S. palan-díriel n. “far-gazer” (Category: Far)
A pseudo-compound from the song A Elbereth Gilthoniel in the phrase na-chaered palan-díriel “to lands remote I have looked afar” (LotR/238; RGEO/63-64). It is a combination of palan “far”, and the lenited form of the past active participle tíriel “having gazed” of the verb tiria- “watch, gaze” (PE17/25; Let/427).
