1 Mandos(Mandost-)
noun "Castle of Custody" the approximate meaning, according to MR:350. Used as the name of a Vala, properly the place where he dwells the Halls of Mandos, whereas his real name is Námo WJ:402. In Tolkiens mythology, the Halls of Mandos are the abode of the dead, where their spirits remain until they are released from this world in the case of mortals or rebodied in the case of Elves except for those who are refused or themselves refuse further incarnate life, and so remain in Mandos indefinitely. In the Etymologies, Mandos also Mandossë is interpreted somewhat differently, "Dread Imprisoner"MBAD MANAD,VT45:32 or in a deleted version "Dread Doom" VT45:33, where Mandos was asigned the stem Mandosse-. The interpretation Dread Imprisoner would suggest that Tolkien at the time thought of Mandos as being also properly the name of a person, the Vala Námo, not the name of a place. See also Mando. -
2 aina
2 adj "holy" AYAN, derived from Ainu. Adopted and adapted from Valarin. According to VT43:32, the word is "obsolete, except in Ainur", apparently suggesting that airë or airëa q.v. was the normal term for "holy" in later Quenya. However, Tolkien repeatedly used aina in his translation of the Litany of Loreto: Aina Fairë "Holy Spirit", Aina Neldië "Holy Trinity", Aina Maria "Holy Mary", Aina Wendë "Holy Virgin". He also used Aina Eruontari for "holy Mother" in his rendering of the Sub Tuum Praesidium WJ:399, FS, SA, VT43:32, VT44:5, 12, 17-18 -
3 cirya
"k"noun "ship" MC:213, 214, 220, 221, "sharp-prowed ship" SA:kir-, where the word is misspelt círya with a long í; Christopher Tolkien probably confused it with the first element of the Sindarin name Círdan. It seems that Círyon, the name of Isildur's son, is likewise misspelt; read Ciryon as in the index and the main text of the Silmarillion. Cf. also kirya in Etym, stem KIR. Also in Markirya. In the Plotz letter, cirya is inflected for all cases except plural possessive *ciryaiva. The curious dual form ciriat occurs in Letters:427, whereas Plotz gives the expected form ciryat. Locative ciryasse "upon a ship" MC:216. Compounded in ciryaquen "shipman, sailor" WJ:372, also ciryando PE17:58, cf. also ciryamo mariner UT:8. Masc. names Ciryaher *"Ship-lord" Appendix A, Ciryandil *"Ship-friend" Appendix A, Ciryatan *"Ship-builder" Appendix A, also Tar-Ciryatan, name of a Númenórean king, "King Shipbuilder" SA:kir-
