ᴺS. [N.] ^rem adj. “frequent, numerous” (Category: Much, Many)
N. rhem adj. “frequent, numerous” (Category: Much, Many)
N. rhem “frequent, numerous” appeared in The Etymologies of the 1930s, derived from primitive ᴹ✶rimbā under the root ᴹ√RIM (Ety/RIM).
Neo-Sindarin: Many Neo-Sindarin writers adapt this word as ᴺS. rem “great number” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin as suggested in Hiswelókë’s Sindarin Dictionary (HSD), since the unvoicing of initial r to rh was a feature of Noldorin of the 1930s but not Sindarin of the 1950s and 60s.
