nóre (or nōre) is a Quenya word used for "'land' associated with a particular people".[1][2]
Originally it meant "people", but it was blended and confused with the quite distinct root ndor "dry land" (cf. Sindarin dôr)[3] and the suffix forms -nórë, -ndórë or -dórë are also seen shortened to -or.
In the early manuscript the Etymologies, Quenya nóre is glossed as "country, land, race".[4]
