1 fanya
noun "white cloud" translated "sky" in FS; pl. fanyar in Namárië Nam, RGEO:67.. Used only of white clouds, sunlit or moonlit, or clouds gilded or silvered at the edges by light behind them, not of storm clouds or cloud canopies shutting out the light PE17:174. Cf. lumbo, q.v. According to VT46:15, fanya was originally given as an adjective "white" in the Etymologies; the printed version in LR wrongly implies that fanya and fána both mean "cloud", whereas actually the first was at this stage meant to be an adjective "white" whereas fána is both noun "cloud" and adj. "white". However, Namárië and later emendations to the entry SPAN in Etym indicate that Tolkien would later think of fanya as a noun "cloud", perhaps giving it the same double meaning as fána: noun "cloud" as well as adjective "white". According to PE17:26, fanya was originally an adjectival form white and shining that was however often used as a noun applied to various things, notably to white clouds lit by sun or moon. In Namárië, the word is used poetically with reference to the hands of Varda she lifted her hands ve fanyar like clouds. -
