1 DEVICE
tanwë (craft, thing made, construction); SKILLFUL [?DEVICE – Tolkien's handwriting was illegible] curo (curu-) –TAN, VT41:10 -
2 EVER
oi, voro, vor (continually) (pref. \#oio-, vor-, voro-), EVERWHITE, EVER-SNOW-WHITE Oiolossë (a name for Taniquetil; gen Oiolossëo is attested in Nam, where it has an ablatival meaning); EVERSUMMER Oiolairë, EVERLASTING oia; vorima; EVERLASTING [?AGE] (Tolkien's handwriting was illegible) oirë, oialë; FOR EVER, EVERLASTINGLY oialë (evidently the noun just mentioned used as an adverb), tennoio, oia (the latter is both adj. "everlasting" and the adv. *"everlastingly", according to VT46:8). –OY, UT:458, BOR, LT1:250/273, Nam/RGEO:67, Silm:429, UT:317 -
3 GREAT
túra (big), hoa (large), (great in size:) alta (large) (The form alat- is used in compounds when the next word has an initial vowel, as in Alatairë. Tolkien's gloss of alta, alat- was actually illegible, and I give the root meaning of the stem ÁLAT. The meaning of the Quenya word cannot differ too widely from it, for Alatairë is said to correspond to "Noldorin" Belegoer [in LotR-style Sindarin Belegaer], The Great Sea.) – An early [TLT] word for "great", velicë, is possibly obsolete in LotR-style Quenya: In LT1:254 velicë is said to correspond to Gnomish beleg, but according to LR:352 the stem from which beleg is derived is "not found in Q[uenya]". In post-LotR material the words velca, velcë briefly turned up, apparently meaning “large, great, big”, but Tolkien rejected these forms as well.) –PE17:115, ÁLAT, cf. BEL, cf. Silm:428, LT1:254 -
4 HARSH
naraca (rending, violent) (possibly "of sounds", but Tolkien's extra comment is partially illegible) –NÁRAK, VT45:37 -
5 HEAT
úrë (The stem from which this word must be derived was struck out in Etym, but the word occurs in LotR itself, indicating that Tolkien restored the stem in question.) SMOULDERING HEAT, RED [?HEAT] (Tolkies handwriting was illegible) yulmë (Note: a homophone means "drinking, carousal") –LotR:1157 cf. UR; YUL -
6 LARGE
hoa (big), also alta, alat- (great in size) (Tolkien's definition of alta word was actually illegible, but see GREAT), úvëa (very large, abundant, in a very great number), úra (note: a homophone means "nasty, evil"; some would say these later glosses render the word úra = "large" obsolete.) –PE17:115, ÁLAT, UB, UR -
7 NATURE
ëa (universe). This term "was not held to include [illegible word: souls?] and spirits" –VT39:20 -
8 PRIMARY
(Tolkien's handwriting was illegible) *yessëa (emended from the actual reading essea – see BEGINNING) –ESE -
9 RED
carnë (stem carni-), aira ("ruddy, copper-coloured"), *narwa ("fiery red", cited in the archaic form narwā in the source. Cf. nárë "flame"), nasar (adopted from Valarin; used in Vanyarin Quenya only); RED [HEAT?] (Tolkien's handwriting was illegible) yulmë (Note: a homophone means "drinking, carousal".) RED FLAME rúnya, WITH ADORNMENT OF RED JEWELS carnimírië (a pl form? Sg *carnimírëa? Letters:224 has carne- instead of carni-.) –KARÁN/Silm:429, GAY, NAR, WJ:399, YUL, Silm:437, LotR:505 cf. Letters:224 -
10 REND
narca- (in the Etymologies as published in LR, "narka" in Tolkien's manuscript was misread as "narki"; see VT45:37), RENDING naraca (harsh, violent) (possibly "of sounds", but Tolkien's extra comment is partially illegible) –NÁRAK, VT45:37 -
11 SKILL
curu; SKILLED maitë (stem *maiti-, pl. maisi) (handy), BE SKILLED IN DEALING WITH hanya- (understand, know about); SKILLFUL [?DEVICE – Tolkien's handwriting was illegible] curo (curu-) –Silm:429, MA3, KHAN, VT41:10 -
12 SMOULDERING HEAT
yulmë (red [?heat] – Tolkien's handwriting was illegible); SMOULDERING WOOD yúla (ember) –YUL -
13 TIDE
– lowtide: nanwë (ebb); high tide: luimë (flood). Partially illegible glosses referred to in VT48:30 may suggest that luimë can also refer to any tide, or the spring tide. –VT48:26, 23, 24, 30 -
14 UPRISING
(noun) ambaron, Ambarónë (sunrise, Orient) (a similar but untranslated word, Ambaróna, occurs in LotR:490). Rómen is glossed "uprising, sunrise, east" in Silm:437, but the normal meaning of the word is always "east". Cf. also: "UPRISING-FLOWER" *ambalotsë ("referring to the flower or floreate device used as a crest fixed to [the] point of a tall [illegible word, possibly 'archaic'] helmet", "pointed helm-crest". Tolkien asterisked the word because it was not attested, only a possible Quenya form of the name Amloth) –AM2, LotR:490, WJ:318 -
15 VIOLENCE
ormë (rushing, wrath, haste); VIOLENT naraca (harsh, rending) (possibly "of sounds", but Tolkien's extra comment is partially illegible) –GOR, KHOR, NÁRAK, VT45:37 -
16 WELL
(adverb) mai –VT47:6 (noun): the form lón or lónë (pl. lóni given) has the partially illegible gloss "deep pool, or river-[?feeding] well". Early material has tampo “well”. –VT48:28. QL:93
