Buildings and types of buildings

• NEW ADDITIONS - PRONUNCIATION - MEANING - DERIVED FROM... - NOTES  
  
• ârbanad, - pron. aarbanad - "royal court" - âr-, "royal", "kingly" (Ad.), banad, "court", "yard", "courtyard" (P-AdW) - Derived from the canon Adunaic prefix and from a newly derived P-AdW term, derived from Sindarin (and Noldorin).

A general term for a yard, court, courtyard, both paved and unpaved.
  
• batâzadan, batâzadîn - pron. batázadan, batázadín - "inn" (sg.), "inns" (pl.) - batân, "road" (Ad.), zadan, "house" (Ad.), zadîn, "houses" (P-AdW) - Derived from the canon Adunaic term for "road", and from the canon Adunaic term for "house" and its newly added plural number. This is an inn in the broader sense, one that offers not only food and drink, but accomodation as well. The Prancing Pony Inn in Bree from The Lord of the Rings is a good example of such an inn. However, Tolkien notes that even at the end of the Third Age, such more sophisticated inns were still rather rare throughout Middle-earth. They occured only in larger small towns and in cities with a sufficient number of inhabitants, and a sufficient number of arriving and departing travellers. Of course, there are no hotels, restaurants or public dining rooms in Middle-earth, so public buildings like these were the closest equivalents of such more modern concepts.
  
• hîmazadan, hîmazadîn (Ad.), hîmzadan, hîmzadîn (W.) - pron. hím(a)zadan, hím(a)zadín - "tavern", "alehouse", "inn" (sg.), "taverns", "alehouses", "inns" (pl.) - hîma, hîm, "beer", zadan, "house", zadîn, "house" - Derived from the canon Westron term for "beer" and its newly introduced P-AdW derivatives, and from the canon Adunaic term for a "house" and its newly added plural number. This is an inn the more narrow sense, more of a tavern or a dining hall, an inn that doesn't have to offer accomodation at all. A batâzadan can also double as this type of inn, but a hîm(a)zadan is always just an ordinary tavern, an alehouse. The majority of the inns and taverns in The Shire of the hobbits are precisely of this type. 
  
• phûru - pron. fooru - "excavation", "mine", "underground hall/settlement" - Phurunargian, "Dwarven mine/excavation" (W., a more archaic toponym) - Derived from the word roots from a (more archaic) geographic name in canon Westron. See also the newly introduced P-AdW noun phurgân, "miner".
• razadê (Ad.), razade (W.), razadêmi - pron. razadé, razade, razadémi - "shelter", "refuge" (sg.), "shelters", "refuges" (pl.) - razanur, "peregrine", "wanderer", "traveller" (W.), razna, "to travel", "to wander" (P-AdW and Neo-W), zadê, "roof", zadêmi, "roofs" (P-AdW) - Derived from the Westron terms razna, "to travel", "to wander", razanur, "pilgrim", "peregrine", "wanderer" and a newly derived term (zadê) for the word roof. In other words, it is a "shelter for pilgrims, for the wandering".
  
• zadan, zadîn - pron. zadan, zadeen - "house", "houses" - zadan, "house" (Ad.) - Canon Adunaic term. The plural was derived by analogy, by comparing the plurals of other terms denoting human creations.
