I'm making words for "lawful, law-abiding" and "law, rule" in Sindarin. Basing it off of thanya/sanya (from STAN) Quenya, I've got thain/thein for the adjective and theinas for the noun. What do you think?

Sounds reasonable to me. The other Quenya word for "law", axan, is an adaptation from Valarin and therefore unlikely to be used in Sindarin.

That's why I didn't use it.

And the attested Noldorin thann would remain as 'firm, true, abiding'?

Fiona Jallings Mar 20, 2016 (19:48)

Yup. And I use "thannas" for "truth"
