Hmmm.

NIM-RU-ZIR, if such a person exists?

ZIR for 3 letters from Zircona?

'NIM' means 'take' - Modern German 'nehmen' with an Old English cognate. Hence NYM, a petty thief in the Henry IV plays.

...

Gadzooks! It's only the Adunaic name for the conspicuously absent Elendil the Tall! From 'Nimruzirim,' meaning Elf-Friends, I do believe.
