21 BITE
(vb) nac- (but in late material, the same verb is said to mean “hew, cut”), BITE (noun) nahta (note: a homophone means "eighteen", though it is not the regular word in decimal counting: neither word must be confused with the verb nahta- “slay”.) –NAK, VT49:24 -
22 BOW
(vb) luhta- (Note: a homophone means "enchant"), \#caw- (cited in source as cawin "I bow", 1st pers. aorist; in Tolkien's later conception it would be difficult to account for w in this position, and we should perhaps read *cav- with pa.t. *canwë); BOW (noun) quinga, cú (also = crescent Moon), lúva, cúnë (crescent); RAINBOW helyanwë ("sky-bridge"), Ilweran, Ilweranta (LT2:348 has iluquinga "sky-bow", but this word was obsoleted when Tolkien changed the meaning of ilu from "sky" to "universe".) BOWLEGGED quingatelco (So it is translated, but this must really be a noun: "bow-leg" [quinga + telco]. No Quenya adjectives end in –o, unless this is the only one. Read *quingatelca for "bow-legged"? Cf. one of the other words from the same source, sincahonda, changed from sincahondo in an earlier draft – but at that time Tolkien had already omitted quingatelco and hence did not change its ending: See SD:72.) –VT47:35, LT1:257, SD 68, 72, KWIG, KU3, LT1:256, LotR:1154, LT1:271 -
23 BRAND
yulma (Note: a homophone means "cup".) –YUL cf. Nam -
24 BUNCH
loxë (cluster). Note: a homophone means "hair". (QL:55). BUNCHES (of flowers), see BLOSSOM. -
25 BY
as a prep. introducing the agent in a passive construction may be rendered by ló (nahtana ló Turin *“slain by Túrin”, VT42:24) or by the instrumental case (turún’ ambartanen “by doom mastered”, UT:138). BY meaning “near; next to” may be rendered by ara “beside” (*coa ara ëar, “a house by the sea”). BY THIS MEANS, see SO. -
26 CAPE
mundo (nose, snout), stem *mundu- given the primitive form mbundu. (Note: mundo also means "ox", and as such the word may not have a distinct stem-form.) CAPE (OF LAND) nortil (stem *nortill-), said to be "only used of the ends of promontories or other seaward projections that were relatively sharp and spike-like". –MBUD, VT47:28 -
27 CAROUSAL
yulmë (drinking) (Note: a homophone means "smouldering heat") –WJ:416 -
28 CASSIOPEIA
Wilwarin (the identification of this constellation is not certain. Wilwarin means "butterfly".) –Silm:426 -
29 CENTURY
haranyë (or perhaps it means the last day of a century – Tolkien's wording is not clear. The latter interpretation may be more likely.) –LotR:1142 -
30 CLUSTER
loxë (bunch). Note: a homophone means "hair". (QL:55). CLUSTERS (of flowers) see BLOSSOM. -
31 COMMAND
(verb) *can- (so when used of persons; when used with things as object, this verb means demand) –PM:361-362 (where the stem KAN is mentioned; the Quenya verb is not directly cited as such, but seems implied by Tolkien's discussion of how this stem was used in Quenya.) For “command” as a noun, see ORDER. -
32 COTTAGE
– LT2:336 has os(t) "house and cottage", but this word is probably obsolete – osto means "city" or "fortress" in Tolkien's later Quenya. -
33 CREST
(of wave) wingë (wingi-) (foam, spindrift). LT1:256 gives ormë "crest, summit", but in Tolkien's later Quenya ormë means "wrath, haste, violence, rushing". CRESTED WAVE, WAVE-CREST falma –WIG/LT1:273, PHAL, VT42:15 -
34 CRYSTAL
maril (glass – perhaps with stem marill-), CRYSTAL SUBSTANCE silima (a substance Fëanor alone knew how to make; the Silmarils were made of it. Etymologically, the word apparently means simply *"white-shining thing", or perhaps *"[substance] apt to shine white".) –VT46:13, RGEO:73, Silm:437 -
35 CUNNING
– LT1:253 has findë, finië, but these words may not be valid in Tolkien's later Quenya (in Etym, findë means "tress, lock of hair"). -
36 DALE
nal, nallë (dell); DALE-SPRITES tavar (pl. tavarni). In Tolkien's later Quenya, tavar means "wood" (as material). See, however, DRYAD. –LT1:261, LT1:267 -
37 DAWN
ára (obsoleting órë in LT1:264; this word means "rising" or "heart" in LotR-style Quenya), †amaurëa (early day). See also TWILIGHT. –AR1, MC:223 -
38 DEATH
qualmë, unqualë (agony; according to VT45:24, Tolkien changed this word to anqualë), \#fírië, \#effírië (basically "expiration", attested with the ending -mmo in fíriemmo, effíriemmo "of our death"), nuru, older ñuru (personalized Nuru = Mandos), fairë (natural death [as act]) (Note: fairë also means "radiance" and "phantom", and even [in LT1:250] "free"), urdu –KWAL/LT1:264, VT43:34, ÑGUR/VT46:4, PHIR, LT2:342 -
39 DENY
lala- –LA (Note: a homophone means "laugh", but the past tense forms may differ. See LAUGH.) -
40 DESCENDANT
indyo (grandchild) (Indyo looks like Vanyarin Quenya; the combination ndy became ny in Noldorin Quenya. The Noldor likely used the form *inyo.) MALE DESCENDANT yondo (son) (In LT2:344, it is said that yondo usually meant "(great) grandson", but in LotR-style Quenya it simply means "son".) –ÑGYO(N)
