1 DEAR
melda (beloved), melin, moina (familiar), \#melya (isolated from Melyanna "dear gift", Melian's Quenya name), valda (worth, worthy). Cf. also the "suffix of endearment" -ya mentioned in UT:418: Anardilya *"dear Anardil" (UT:174). DEAR KINSMAN (form of address) tyenya (literally “my thou”, with tye as an intimate 2nd person pronoun reserved for relatives and close friends). –MEL, MOY, Silm:434, GL:23, VT49:51 -
2 KIN
nossë (house, people). DEAR KINSMAN, see DEAR. –LT1:250, 272/LT2:338 -
3 BELOVED
melda (dear, sweet). Cf. nessamelda, *"beloved of Nessa", a fragrant evergreen tree brought to Númenor by the Eldar. –MEL, UT:456 -
4 FAMILIAR
moina (dear) –MOY -
5 GIFT
anna; LAND OF GIFT (a name of Númenor) Andor (haplology of *Annandor), DEAR GIFT (the meaning of Melian's name) Melyanna, GIFT OF GOD, see GRACE. –ANA, Silm:313, 434 -
6 LOVE
(vb, love as friend) mel- (melinyes and melin sé “I love him”, VT49:15, 21). LOVE (noun) melmë (LT1:262 has meles, melessë); LOVELY melwa, LOVING nilda (friendly), méla (affectionate), BELOVED melda (dear, sweet), LOVER meldo (pl meldor is attested), melindo (m.), melissë (f.); LOVEABLE melima (fair), írima (desirable) –MEL, LT1:262, WJ:412, NIL, VT39:11, ID -
7 MELIAN
Melyanna (dear gift) –Silm:434 -
8 MY
-nya (possessive suffix), e.g. meldonya "my friend" (VT49:40, 48), tyenya “my tye” (VT49:51, this is a term of address used to a dear kins(wo)man, literally “my thou”, with tye as an intimate 2nd person pronoun). An i seems to be inserted between the ending and the noun when the latter ends in a consonant: atarinya "my father" (LR:61). If the last consonant(s) of the noun is n or the cluster nd, a contracted form may be used in vocatives: hinya "my child" (for hínanya, WJ:403), yonya "my son" (for *yondonya, LR:61). – “My” as an independent word is apparently ninya, (derived from the dative form nin “for me”), though in FS it is used as a quasi-suffix (indo-ninya “my heart”). -
9 SAFE
varna (protected, secure). (GL:58 has moina "safe, secure", but in Tolkien's later Quenya moina means "dear, familiar", and the former moina now appears as muina "hidden, secret".) SAFE KEEPING mando (custody) –BAR, MR:350 -
10 SECURE
varna (protected, safe), SECURITY varnassë. (GL:58 gives moina "safe, secure", but in Tolkien's later Quenya moina means "dear, familiar", and the former moina seems to have been altered to muina "hidden, secret".) –BAR -
11 SWEET
lissë. Other sources use lissë as a noun "sweetness", and lissë is also used for the "grace" of God (specifically Erulissë or *"God-sweetness"). Another word glossed "sweet" is melda, but since it is also defined as "beloved" and "dear", this adjective may describe a "sweet" person rather than sweet taste. –Nam, RGEO:66, VT43:29, VT45:34 cf. MEL -
12 WORTH, WORTHY
valda (dear) –GL:23
