1 Vala
1 noun "Power, God, angelic power", pl. Valar or Vali BAL, Appendix E, LT2:348, described as angelic governors or angelic guardians Letters:354, 407. The Valar are a group of immensely powerful spirits guarding the world on behalf of its Creator; they are sometimes called Gods as when Valacirca, q.v., is translated Sickle of the Gods, but this is strictly wrong according to Christian terminology: the Valar were created beings. The noun vala is also the name of tengwa \#22 Appendix E. Genitive plural Valion "of the Valar" FS, MR:18; this form shows the pl. Vali, irregular alternative to Valar the straightforward gen. pl. Valaron is also attested, PE17:175. Pl. allative valannar *"to/on the Valar" LR:47, 56; SD:246. Feminine form Valië Silm, in Tolkiens earlier material also Valdë; his early writings also list Valon or Valmo q.v. as specifically masc. forms. The gender-specific forms are not obligatory; thus in PE17:22 Varda is called a Vala not a Valië, likewise Yavanna in PE17:93. Vala is properly or originally a verb "has power" sc. over the matter of Eä, the universe, also used as a noun "a Power" WJ:403. The verb vala- "rule, order", exclusively used with reference to the Valar, is only attested in the sentences á vala Manwë! "may Manwë order it!" and Valar valuvar "the will of the Valar will be done" WJ:404. However, Tolkien did not originally intend the word Valar to signify "powers"; in his early conception it apparently meant "the happy ones", cf. valto, vald- LT2:348. For various compounds including the word Valar, see below. -
2 súlë(þ)
noun "spirit, breath", also name of tengwa \#9; originally thúlë þúlë, before the shift th s that occurred shortly before the rebellion of the Noldor Appendix E, THŪ. Its gloss, blowing forth, was metaphorically used as the emission of power of will or desire from a spirit PE17:124. If the element súlë appears in Súlimë and Súlimo q.v., the stem-form may seem to be súli-. -
3 túra
adj. big, great PE17:115, related to words for power and apparently referring to a more abstract greatness than words like haura huge. Cf. taura, túrëa. Apparently initial element of Túrosto. -
4 melehtë
noun might, power inherent PE17:115 -
5 túrë
noun "mastery, victory" TUR, "strength, might" QL:95, "power" QL:96 -
6 valya
adj. "having divine authority or power" BAL; this word is of course etymologically connected to the Valar and should not be used with reference to the divinity of Eru. -
7 pol-
1 vb. "can" = have physical power and ability, as in polin quetë "I can speak because mouth and tongue are free". Cf. ista-, lerta- as verbs "can" with somewhat different shades of meaning. VT41:6, PE17:181 -
8 nenya
adj. wet PE17:52, also néna, q.v. Nenya as the name of a Ring of Power seems to imply *thing related to water, since this Ring was associated with that element SA:nen. -
9 Valarauco
"k" noun "Demon of Might" here vala- assumes its basic meaning "power, might", Sindarin balrog WJ:415. Pl. Valaraucar sic, not -or "Balrogs", apparently containing rauca q.v. as an alternative form of rauco demon SA:val-, SA:rauco. Earlier forms from the "Qenya Lexicon" are Valcaraucë, Malcaraucë q.v., apparently abandoned in LotR-style Quenya. -
10 Melkor
spelt Melcor in VT49:6, 24, MR:362, masc. name: the rebellious Vala, the devil of the Silmarillion mythos. Older MET form Melkórë "Mighty-rising" hence the interpretation "He that arises in power", compare órë \#2. Oldest Q form *mbelekōro WJ:402. Ablative Melkorello/Melcorello, VT49:7, 24. Compounded in Melkorohíni "Children of Melkor", Orcs "but the wiser say: nay, the slaves of Melkor; but not his children, for Melkor had no children" MR:416. The form Melkoro- here occurring may incorporate either the genitive ending -o or the otherwise lost final vowel of the ancient form ¤mbelekōro. For Melkors later name, see Moringotto / Moricotto Morgoth under mori-.
