S. dagnir [nd-] n. “slayer, bane” (Category: to Kill)

S. dagnir [nd-], n. “slayer, bane” (Category: to Kill): G. †fecthir “destroyer, slayer; bane”

A word for “slayer” (PE17/97), a noun form of dag- “to slay” with the agental suffix -nir, appearing in the (somewhat loosely translated) phrase: Túrin Turambar Dagnir Glaurunga “Túrin Turambar, Glaurung’s Bane” (S/226). I would use this word as “bane” only in the sense of “one who has killed” or “one who will kill”.
