1 DREAM
(noun) olor, olórë, lor; DREAM or VISION olos (olor- for older oloz-, as in the archaic pl. olozi, later olori). DREAMY olosta, olórëa –LOS, LT1:259, LotR:488 cf. Letters:308, UT:396 (verb) óla- (said to be "impersonal", probably meaning that the dreamer is mentioned in the dative rather than the nominative: *Óla i Eldan, "the Elf dreams") –UT:396 -
2 GIRL
wen (stem wend-, as in the pl. wendi) (maid). The word seldë was not clearly glossed by Tolkien, but appears to mean "female child", hence "girl". The form wendi "young or small woman, girl" in VT48:18 is perhaps intended as the older form of wendë ("maiden") rather than a "contemporary" Quenya word. The form "wenki" from the same source may have a similar meaning, and again it is possible that this is actually Common Eldarin for Quenya *wencë, wenci-. –LT1:271, VT46:13, VT48:18
