| '''Adûnakhôr''' was a rare shortened form of the name [[Ar-Adûnakhôr]], taken by the twentieth King of [[Númenor]].<ref>{{S|Akallabeth}}</ref> This name was seen as an act of rebellion against the [[Elves]] and the [[Valar]], because the [[Kings of Númenor]] had traditionally taken their names from the [[Quenya|High-elven]] tongue, whereas Adûnakhôr came from their native [[Adûnaic]] language. In fact, the name Adûnakhôr was a double challenge to the old traditions, because its meaning, "Lord of the West" was traditionally a title reserved for one of the [[Valar]].<ref>{{UT|Kings}}, XX ''Ar-Adûnakhôr (Tar-Herunúmen)''</ref>
