1 -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. -
2 essë
1 noun "name", also later name of Tengwa \#31, originally MET called árë ázë. Appendix E. With a pronominal ending esselya "thy name" VT43:14. Pl. \#essi in PM:339 and MR:470, gen.pl. \#esseron "of names" in the compound Nómesseron q.v.; we would rather have expected *ession, given the nom.pl. essi; perhaps \#esser is a valid alternative plural form. Essecarmë noun "name-making" MR:214, 470, Eldarin ceremony where the father announces the name of his child. Essecenta "k" noun *"Name-essay" see centa MR:415; Essecilmë noun "name-choosing", an Eldarin ceremony where a child named him- or herself according to personal lámatyávë q.v. MR:214, 471. The meaning Tolkien originally assigned to the word essë in the Etymologies was "place" rather than "name" VT45:12. 2 pron? he and also she, it?, possible emphatic 3rd sg. emphatic pronoun, attested in the sentence essë úpa nas he is dumb PE17:126 3 noun "beginning" ESE/ESET. This entry was marked by a query in Etym, and a word in the appendices to LotR suggests that it was emended to *YESE/YESET; we may therefore read *yessë for essë. See esta \#2. However, for the purposes of writing the form yestabeginning from PE17:120 may be preferred. -
3 cilmë
noun "choosing" isolated from Essecilmë "name-choosing", q.v. MR:214; also in \#cilmessë pl. cilmessi "k" "self-names", literally names of personal choice PM:339 cilmë + essi, hence *"choice-names". -
4 nuinë
noun "river of large volume, and liable to flooding". The word is said to be archaic, surviving chiefly in topographical names. It comes from earlier duine, hence appearing in that form in a name like Nunduinë VT48:30-31, apparently also Anduinë q.v. Tolkien struck out the paragraph where nuinë occurs, but the names Nunduinë/Anduinë would suggest that the word as such is conceptually valid. -
5 anga
noun "iron", also name of tengwa \#7 ANGĀ, Appendix E, SA, PM:347, LT1:249, 268. In the pre-classical Tengwar system presupposed in the Etymologies, anga was the name of letter \#19, which tengwa Tolkien would later call noldo instead VT45:6. Masc. names Angamaitë "Iron-handed" Letters:347, Angaráto "Iron-champion", Sindarin Angrod SA:ara. See also Angamando, tornanga and cf. Angainor as the name of the chain with which Melkor was bound Silm -
6 Manwë
noun "Blessed Being" Letters:283, the Elder King and Lord of the Valar, spouse of Varda. The name is adopted and adapted from Valarin Mānawenūz; names ending in -wë were already frequent in Quenya WJ:399. In the Etymologies derived from MAN, WEG.Cf. Mánwen, Mánwë the oldest Quenya forms of Manwë, closer to the Valarin form WJ:399. Lower-case manwë in LR:56. Ablative Manwello, VT49:24 in this source Tolkien indicated that lo Manwë is the preferred way of saying from Manwë, but this was apparently a short-lived idea; see lo. Masc. name Manwendil "Manwë-friend; one devoted to Manwë" UT:210. In the pre-classical Tengwar system presupposed in the Etymologies, Manwë was also the name of letter \#22 VT45:32, which tengwa Tolkien would later call vala instead changing its Quenya value from m to v. -
7 ëar
noun "sea" AYAR/AIR gives also dat. sg. ëaren, WJ:413; see Letters:386 for etymology. Not to be confused with the pl. form of the verb ëa be, exist. Pl. ëari "seas" FS, LR:47; Eär "the Great Sea" cf. ëaron ocean, ablative Eärello "from the Great Sea", et Eärello "out of the Great Sea" EO. Eärë noun "the open sea" SD:305. Compound ëaruilë noun "seaweed" UY. Found in proper names like Eärendil "Sea-friend", Eärendur masc. name, *"Sea-servant"; in effect a variant of Eärendil Appendix A. Eärendur was also used ="professional mariner" Letters:386.Fem. name Eärwen "Sea-maiden" Silm; Eärrámë "Sea-wing", "Wings of the Sea", name of Tuor's ship RAM, AYAR/AIR, SA -
8 Menel
noun "heavens" Markirya, SA, "the heavens, the firmament" SD:401, "the apparent dome in the sky" MR:387. Menel Cemenyë "k" "Heaven and Earth" VT47:30. Found in names like Meneldil *"Heaven-friend" = astronomer Appendix A; Letters:386, Meneldur masc. name, *"Heaven-servant" Appendix A, Tar-Menelduras a Númenórean King, UT:210; menelluin *"sky-blue", used as noun = "cornflower" J.R.R. Tolkien: Artist & Illustrator p. 193. Menelmacar "Swordsman of the Sky", the Orion constellation also called Telumehtar, Appendix E, first footnote; the older name was Menelmacil *"Heaven-sword" WJ:411; Meneltarma "Pillar of Heaven", name of the great central mountain of Númenor SA:tar, VT42:21.Menelya fifth day of the Eldarin six-day week, dedicated to the heavens Appendix D Locative meneldë "in heaven"; abandoned forms menellë, menelzë VT43:12, 16. Adj. meneldëa "being in heaven", evidently based on a locative form meneldë "in heaven"; abandoned forms menelzëa, menellëa, menelessëa VT43:13, VT44:16; the last of these forms would suggest the locative form \#menelessë. -
9 cirya
"k"noun "ship" MC:213, 214, 220, 221, "sharp-prowed ship" SA:kir-, where the word is misspelt círya with a long í; Christopher Tolkien probably confused it with the first element of the Sindarin name Círdan. It seems that Círyon, the name of Isildur's son, is likewise misspelt; read Ciryon as in the index and the main text of the Silmarillion. Cf. also kirya in Etym, stem KIR. Also in Markirya. In the Plotz letter, cirya is inflected for all cases except plural possessive *ciryaiva. The curious dual form ciriat occurs in Letters:427, whereas Plotz gives the expected form ciryat. Locative ciryasse "upon a ship" MC:216. Compounded in ciryaquen "shipman, sailor" WJ:372, also ciryando PE17:58, cf. also ciryamo mariner UT:8. Masc. names Ciryaher *"Ship-lord" Appendix A, Ciryandil *"Ship-friend" Appendix A, Ciryatan *"Ship-builder" Appendix A, also Tar-Ciryatan, name of a Númenórean king, "King Shipbuilder" SA:kir- -
10 Nómesseron
pl. noun in genitive: a compound "of place-names", apparently an inflected compound consisting of \#nómë "place" + a genitive plural \#esseron "of names" VT42:17; we might have expected *ession, since essi rather than ?esser as the nominative plural of essë "name" is attested both in PM:339 and MR:470 -
11 -wë
a suffix occurring in many personal names, generally but not exclusively masculine Elenwë is the sole certain example of a fem. name with this ending; it is derived from a stem simply meaning "person" PM:340, WJ:399. In Etym, -wë is simply defined as an element that is frequent in masculine names, and it is there derived from a stem WEG having to do with "manly vigour". -
12 amil
noun "mother" AMsup1/sup, also emil q.v. Longer variant amillë VT44:18-19, compounded Eruamillë "Mother of God" in Tolkien's translation of the Hail Mary VT43:32. If amil is a shortened form of amillë, it should probably have the stem-form amill-. Also compare amilyë, amya, emya. Compounded amil- in amilessë noun "mothername" cf. essë "name", name given to a child by its mother, sometimes with prophetic implications amilessi tercenyë "mother-names of insight". MR:217. -
13 lótë
noun "flower", mostly applied to larger single flowers LOTH, LT1:259, VT42:18. The shorter form -lot occurs in compounds, e.g. fúmellot, q.v. In the names Ninquelóte *"White-flower" = Nimloth, Vingilótë "Foam-flower", the name of Eärendil's ship SA:loth, also in Lótessë fifth month of the year, "May" Appendix D. See also olótë, lotsë. -
14 Túrosto
place-name "Gabilgathol", a dwelling of the Dwarves Sindarin Belegost; the names mean "Mickleburg", "Great Fortress". Apparently túra + osto. -
15 nárë
also short nár, noun "flame" NARsup1/sup, Narqelion. Translated "fire" in some names, see Aicanáro, Fëanáro where nár apparently has the masculine ending -o, though in the latter name it may also be the genitive ending since Fëa-náruo/u is translated Spirit uof/u Fire. At one point, Tolkien mentioned nār- as the word for fire as an element PE17:183. Cf. ruinë as the word for a fire a concrete instance of fire in the same source. -
16 telpë
noun "silver" in one example with generalized meaning money, PE14:54, telep- in some compounds like Teleporno; assimilated telem- in Telemnar and the adj. telemna KYELEP/TELEP, SA:celeb, LT1:255, 268; also tyelpë, telep-, UT:266. The true Quenya descendant of primitive ¤kyelepē is tyelpë, but the Telerin form telpë was more common, "for the Teleri prized silver above gold, and their skill as silversmiths was esteemed even by the Noldor" UT:266. In various names: Telperion the White Tree of Valinor; Telperien "Telperiën", fem. name including telp- "silver" Appendix A; Telperinquar "Silver-fist, Celebrimbor" SA:celeb - also Tyelperinquar; Telporno, Teleporno "Silver-high" = Sindarin Celeborn Letters:347, UT:266. It seems that Teleporno is properly Telerin, Quenyarized as Telporno. Compare adjectives telemna, telpina, telepsa, telepta q.v.
