Návarot

noun "Nogrod" Novrod, Hollowbold, name of a dwelling of the Dwarves WJ:389. If the element that is here translated náva is the same as náva "mouth", the initial n comes from earlier ng ñ and should be represented by the letter noldo rather than númen in Tengwar writing. However, Tolkien in WJ:414 reconstructs the primitive form of the náva in Návarot as ¤nābā rather than **ngābā or **ngāwā the likely source of náva "mouth", so this appears doubtful. The initial n of Návarot should evidently be represented by the letter númen in Tengwar writing.
