An adjective for “east[ern]” in the name Talath Rhúnen “East Vale” (S/124) based on rhûn “east” (SA/rómen). Prior to the publication of PE23, this name was one of the best pieces of evidence that rh did not undergo soft mutation in modern Sindarin.
Conceptual Development: The Etymologies of the 1930s had N. †rhufen [rhuven] as the adjectival form of rhûn “east” (Ety/RŌ).
