Brother, in J.R.R. Tolkien's words

The Quenya words for brother are onóro (brother, of blood kinship), toron (brother (older Quenya)), háno or hanno (brother (possibly a replacement for toron)), and otorno (brother, sworn brother, male associate).

The Sindarin words for brother are muindor (brother) and gwador (brother, sworn brother, associate).
