According to one late source, Rána is not properly the Moon itself but is rather the "name of the spirit Máya that was said to abide in the Moon as its guardian" VT42:13.

In the pre-classical Tengwar system there presupposed, Rana was also the name of tengwa \#25 VT45:10, which letter Tolkien would later call Rómen instead.
