S. Îdh, f. “Estë, (lit.) Rest, Repose, Peace”

Sindarin name for Q. Estë, it is simply îdh “rest” used as a name, a derivative of primitive ✶ezdē (PE19/92).

Conceptual Development: The name N. Îdh appeared in The Etymologies from the 1930s, with the same derivation (Ety/EZDĒ). It was first written as (rejected) Ēdh, perhaps representing some uncertainty on the vocalization of [z] before voiced stops in Noldorin.
