angren (pl. engrin) is a Sindarin word meaning "of iron". The Quenya cognate is angaina.[1]
Etymology[edit | edit source]
angren, related to Sindarin ang ("iron"), derived from the Elvish root ANGĀ.[1] It is possible that the full Old Sindarin word is angrina (unattested).
The obsolete, variant or misspelt plural form engren appears in a typescript.[2]
