1 laurë
noun "gold", but of golden light and colour, not of the metal: golden light according to PE17:61 a poetic word. Nai laurë lantuva parmastanna lúmissen tengwiesto may a golden light fall on your book at the times of your reading VT49:47. In Etym defined as "light of the golden Tree Laurelin, gold", not properly used of the metal gold LÁWAR/GLÁWAR, GLAW-R, VT27:20, 27, PE17:159. In early "Qenya", however, laurë was defined as "the mystic name of gold" LT1:255, 258 or simply "gold" LT1:248, 268. In Laurelin and Laurefindil, q.v., Laurenandë "Gold-valley" = Lórien the land, not the Vala UT:253 and laurinquë name of a tree, possibly *"Gold-full one" UT:168. Laurendon like gold or in gold fashion but after citing this form, Tolkien decided to abandon the similative ending -ndon, PE17:58. -
2 anta-
1 vb. "give" ANAsup1/sup, MC:215, 221, pa.t. antanë antanen I gave, VT49:14 or ánë, perfect ánië PE17:147, cf. QL:31. According to VT49:14, Tolkien noted that anta- was sometimes often with an ironic tone to refer to missiles, so that antanen hatal sena I gave him a spear as a present was often used with the real sense of I cast a spear at him. Usually the recipient of the thing given is mentioned in the dative or allative case like sena in this example, but there is also a construction similar to English present someone with something in which the recipient is the object and the gift appears in the instrumental case: antanenyes parmanen, I presented him with a book PE17:91. The verb occurs several times in FS: antalto"they gave"; strangely, no past tense marker seems to be present see -lto for the ending; antar a pl. verb translated "they gave", though in LotR-style Quenya it would rather be the present tense "give" pl.; antaróta "he gave it" anta-ró-ta "gave-he-it", another verb occurring in Fíriel's Song, once again with no past tense marker. Also antáva "will give", future tense of anta- "give"; read perhaps *antuva in LotR-style Quenya; similarly antaváro "he will give" LR:63 might later have appeared as *antuvas with the ending -s rather than Qenya -ro for he. Antalë imperative "give thou" VT43:17, sc. anta "give" + the element le "thou", but this was a form Tolkien abandoned. Apparently ana was at one point considered as another imperative give, but Tolkien rewrote the text in question VT44:13, and the normal patterns would suggest *á anta with an independent imperative particle.
