bereth is Sindarin for "queen, spouse" or "supreme, sublime".[1]

Etymology[edit | edit source]

From Primitive Quendian barathî.[1]

The early Noldorin explains it comes from root BARATH.[2]

Examples[edit | edit source]

Notes[edit | edit source]

It is unrelated to root BERÉTH ("beech, birch"). Also, it doesn't contain the feminine ending -eth.
