rómen is a noun meaning "uprising", "sunrise"[1] and "east" in Quenya.[2]
Rómen is also the name in Quenya of the twenty-fifth letter of the Tengwar alphabet.[2] In all modes this letter represents "full" trilled R, unlike Óre which is used for "weak" untrilled R.[3] Rómen was one of the most widely known and used of all the Tengwar since it indicated "east" even in languages that used a very different term.[2] The Westron name for this letter is Aro.[4]
Etymology
The word derives from the Primitive Quendian root RO+MEN.[5]
