feminine ending. -
2 -ndil
ending that Tolkien likened to Old English "-wine", sc. "-friend" as part of names, e.g. Elendil, Eärendil NIL/NDIL; see the entry -ndil. Also long -dildo VT46:4, and possibly -ndilmë as the corresponding feminine form see Vardilmë. also -dil ending occurring in many names, like Amandil, Eärendil; it implies devotion or disinterested love and may be translated "friend" SA:noundil; this ending is "describing the attitude of one to a person, thing, course or occupation to which one is devoted for its own sake" Letters:386. Compare -ndur. It is unclear whether the names derived with the ending -ndil are necessarily masculine, though we have no certain example of a woman's name in -ndil; the name Vardilmë q.v. may suggest that the corresponding feminine ending is -ndilmë. -

7 Yávien
fem. name, apparently yávë "fruit" + the feminine ending -ien. -
8 -issë
a feminine ending, as in Írissë PM:345 -
9 Amarië
fem. name; perhaps derived from mára "good" with prefixing of the stem-vowel and the feminine ending -ië Silm -
10 emya
noun "mummy", also used in children's play for "index finger" and "index toe" VT47:10, 26, VT48:4, 6. Said to be a reduction of emenya *"my mother", seemingly presupposing \#emë as a word for "mother" but this word normally appears as emil or amil, incorporating a feminine ending. In VT48:19, emya is explained as deriving from em-nya "my mother". Compare emmë \# 2. -
11 Silmarien
sometimes "-riën" fem. name, apparently incorporates silima Appendix A and the feminine ending -ien, or -rien as a variant of -riel garlanded maiden as in Altariel Galadriel. -
12 onórë
noun "sister" of blood-kin THEL/THELES, NŌ; both of these entries in the Etymologies as reproduced in LR have the reading "onóne", but the "Old Noldorin" cognate wanúre listed in the entry THEL/THELES seems to indicate that the Quenya word should be onórë; the letters n and r are easily confused in Tolkien's handwriting. There is no clear evidence for a feminine ending -në in Quenya, but -rë is relatively well attested; cf. for instance ontarë. A later source gives the word for sister as nésa instead. -
13 ailin
"g.sg. ailinen", in Tolkien's later Quenya dat.sg. "pool, lake" AY, LINsup1/sup, LT2:339. Fem. name Ailinel likely *Ailinell-, perhaps ailin + the feminine ending -el as in aranel "princess", hence *"Lake-woman" or similar UT:210. -
14 -dil
ending that Tolkien likened to Old English "-wine", sc. "-friend" as part of names, e.g. Elendil, Eärendil NIL/NDIL; see the entry -ndil. Also long -dildo VT46:4, and possibly -ndilmë as the corresponding feminine form see Vardilmë. -
