1 MASTER
(noun) heru (pl. \#heruvi, gen.pl. \#heruion) (lord), \#tur (cf. Fëanturi "Masters of Spirits", a name of the Valar Mandos and Irmo). MASTER OF DOOM Turambar, MASTER OF DESIRE Irmo (lit. "Desirer", the name of a Vala); MASTERY túrë (victory, strength, might); MASTERED \#turúna (only the form turún`, with the final *-a elided, is attested. Silm:269 has turun instead of turún` – the accent and he elision mark seem to have been omitted.) –KHER, TUR/UT:438, Silm:261/269/423, 405, UT:138 -
2 LETTER
tengwa (pl. tengwar is attested; this word was used primarily of the Fëanorian letters. However, the term "Tengwar of Rúmil" occurring in LotR:1151 seems to indicate that the word tengwa can indeed be used of a letter of any kind, not only the Fëanorian letters. In non-technical use tengwa may also be translated "consonant" [q.v.]. It is uncertain whether tengwa "letter" can be used in the sense mail, text sent in the post; the primary meaning is clearly "character, a single symbol in writing".) The noun tengwa is also the source of the verb tengwa- “read”. – Another word for “letter” is sarat (pl. sarati is attested) – an older [MET] word Tolkien notes was used of "a 'letter' or any individual significant mark", used of the Rúmilian letters after the invention of the Fëanorian Tengwar (but cf. the term "Tengwar of Rúmil" mentioned above). –TEK, WJ:396, VT49:48, LotR:1151 -
3 POINT
(verb): The phrase tentanë numenna, translated “pointed westward”, would indicate that the verb glossed DIRECT TOWARD (q.v.) can also be translated “point”. Tentanes formenna “it pointed northwards” –VT49:23, 26 (noun) mentë (end), tixë (dot, tiny mark), tildë (horn), variant tillë (tip) (also used of fingers and toes, VT47:10, 26; see UP-POINT, UNDER-POINT), amatixë (point/dot over the line of writing, variant amatexë in VT46:20), unutixë (point/dot under the line of writing; the initial element unu- was misread as "nun-" in the Etymologies as printed in LR, see VT46:19). SPEAR-POINT nasta (spear-head, gore, triangle). –MET, TIK/VT46:19, TIL/VT47:10, 26, SNAS/VT46:14 -
4 STROKE
(verb) palta- means to "pass the sensitive palm over a surface: feel with the hand, stroke etc." –VT47:8-9 (noun) ("of pen of brush [´] when not used as long mark") tecco. Cf. also QUICK STROKE rincë (stem *rinci-) (flourish) –TEK, RIK/VT46:11 (VT indicating that the proper reading is "quick stroke", not "quick shake" as in the Etymologies as printed in LR)
