Valarauco

"k" noun "Demon of Might" here vala- assumes its basic meaning "power, might", Sindarin balrog WJ:415. Pl. Valaraucar sic, not -or "Balrogs", apparently containing rauca q.v. as an alternative form of rauco “demon” SA:val-, SA:rauco. Earlier forms from the "Qenya Lexicon" are Valcaraucë, Malcaraucë q.v., apparently abandoned in LotR-style Quenya.
