sarn : sand
The Illunse word for sand is sarn. In Sindarin sarn translates to small stone or
pebble. In Welsh sarn tranlates to causeway or litter. Sarn is an unusual last name. Sarn is a rare masculine first name. Sarn is the name of cities in Switzerland and Wales. In Tolkien, Sarn Gebir are rapids on the River Anduin and Sarn Ford is a stone ford on the River Baranduin.
This word is a mixture of the Latin word for sand which is arena or harena (sand, grains of sand; sandy land or desert; seashore; arena), and the Old English word for sand which is sand (same as Modern English) (sand, gravel; sand by the sea; of deserts).
This is the current word for sand.
