DESIRING TO START mína (eager to go), also verb DESIRE TO GO IN SOME DIRECTION mína- (to wish to go to a place, make for it, have some end in view). –MER, ID, VT41:13, MIL-IK, YES/VT46:23, WJ:403, VT39:11 -

"Desirer", the name of a Vala); MASTERY túrë (victory, strength, might); MASTERED \#turúna (only the form turún`, with the final *-a elided, is attested.
