S. Halbarad m.
A Dúnadan ranger (LotR/744). The meaning of this name is unclear, but it might be a combination of [N.] hall² “high” and barad “tower” (as suggested by David Salo, GS/352).
Conceptual Development: This character was already N. Halbarad when he first appeared in Lord of the Rings drafts from the 1940s (WR/297).
