The variants kharatô and karatô mean "from the south" and the variants kharatada and karatada mean "southwards", "towards the south".

- larân - pron. laraan - "league", "mile" (sg.), "leagues", "miles" (pl.) - lár, "league", "mile" (Q.) - Derived from the aforementioned Quenya term.

A single ranga / rangar / rangî was equivalent to the real world's 96.5 centimetres or 38 inches.

- batân, batîn, batnat - pron. butaan (but- like the word "but"), buteen (like the words "but" and "teen"), butnut ("but" and "nut") - "road" (sg.), "roads" (pl.), "a pair of roads", "a duo of roads" (dl.) - batân, batîn,
"road", "roads" (Ad.) - Derived from the canon Adunaic term, specifically the term's known singular and plural numbers. The term is used in both a literal as well as figurative sense. The version of the term in the subjective case of the singular is batâna (pron.bataana).

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.

Bonus: Exotic vocabulary (unofficial - purely for fun)
You should regard these bonus terms more like a good-natured joke, even though they are theoretically usable. There are some fans who would want to write a fanfic or concept summary about more industrially themed technologies occuring in Middle-earth or elsewhere in Arda, and so on. It's especially with those fans in mind that I've prepared this bonus vocabulary. None of these words are official for Middle-earth and Arda, neither canonically, nor even in P-AdW.
