stange, wondrous, wonderful
C.E. root EL “star, behold!” Early Sindarin *elerinā = “worth beholding”. This would produce S. *eleren, adjective suffix -ren. Reverted back to *elerin by dissimilation, as with S. celebrin “of silver” instead of celebren.
{any attested word of similar syntax)
NS anwareb “awesome”.
