In the entry NDAN of the Etymologies (V:375) Tolkien gives Noldorin names
for the Green-elves or Danas : _Dân_ pl. _Dein_, _Dağrin_. The latter looks
very like the numerous class plurals in _-rim_, with a shift of n+ r > ğr known
elsewhere, were it not for the final n. It looks very like an error, and I
would like to know if it comes from Tolkien's hand. I suppose so since there is
no correction in _VT_45 or 46, yet I would like to have confirmation.
