1 HAPPY
valin (LT1:272 also gives valimo, but adjectives ending in -o do not occur in LotR-style Quenya), HAPPINESS vald- (so in LT1:272; nom. sg. must be either *val or *valdë) (blessedness) It is highly questionable whether these words from early material quoted in LT1:272 are conceptually "valid" in LotR-style Quenya: Originally, they were meant to be related to the noun Valar, the Gods being termed the "Happy Ones", but Tolkien later re-interpreted Valar as meaning the "Powers". For "happiness" it may be better to use the noun alassë "joy", and for "happy" or "joyful, joyous" many writers have used the neologism *alassëa. -
2 ILL
laiwa (sick, sickly). Since this is derived from a root in sl-, the spelling *hlaiwa may fit Tolkien's later system better: he derived Quenya forms in hl- from roots with this initial combination. (For noun “illness”, see SICKNESS under SICK.) BE ILL quama- (vomit) –SLIW, QL:76
