1 RULE
(vb) heru- (Note: In Tolkien’s later Quenya, heru is primarily the noun "lord", so the later verb tur- “govern” may be preferred to this early “Qenya” verb.). LT1:273 has vard- "rule, govern", but this is hardly a valid word in LotR-style Quenya. RULE (noun, “a rule”) sanyë (Þ) (law), axan (commandment, law, as proceeding primarily from Eru; pl. axani is attested.) –LT1:272, STAN, WJ:399/VT39:30 -
2 BLESSED
alya, almárëa (prosperous, rich, abundant), herenya (wealthy, fortunate, rich), manaquenta or manquenta, also aman ("blessed, free from evil" – Aman was "chiefly used as the name of the land where the Valar dwelt" [WJ:399], and as an adjective “blessed” the word may add an adjectival ending: amanya, VT49:41). Aman is the apparent Quenya equivalent of “the Blessed Realm” (allative Amanna is attested, VT49:26). The word calambar, apparently literally *“light-fated”, also seems to mean “blessed” (VT49:41). Cf. also BLESSED BEING Manwë (name of the King of the Valar). Alya, almárëa, and herenya are adjectives that may also have worldly connontations, apparently often used with reference to one who is "blessed" with material possessions or simply has good luck; on the other hand, the forms derived from the root man- primarily describe something free from evil: Cf. mána "blessed" in Fíriel's Song (referring to the Valar) and the alternative form manna in VT43:19 [cf. VT45:32] (in VT45 referring to the Virgin Mary; the form mána may be preferred for clarity, since manna is apparently also the question-word "whither?", "where to?") The forms manaquenta or manquenta also include the man- root, but it is combined with a derivative (passive participle?) of the verbal stem quet- "say, speak", these forms seemingly referring to someone who is "blessed" in the sense that people speak well of this person (a third form from the same source, manque, is possibly incomplete: read manquenta?) (VT44:10-11) The most purely "spiritual" term is possibly the word aistana, used for "blessed" in Tolkien's translation of the Hail Mary, where this word refers to the Virgin (VT43:27-28, 30). Aistana is apparently not an independent adjective (like alya, mána etc.), but rather the passive participle of a verb \#aista- "bless"; see above concerning its precise application. BLESSEDNESS vald- (so in LT1:272; nom. sg. must be either *val or *valdë) (happiness; but since this word comes from early material where it was intended to be related to Valar "Happy/Blessed Ones", its conceptual validity may be doubted because Tolkien later reinterpreted Valar as "the Powers" and dropped the earlier etymology). BLESSING (a boon, a good or fortunate thing), see BOON. "BLESSINGS", BLESSEDNESS, BLISS almië, almarë; FINAL BLISS manar, mandë (doom, final end, fate, fortune) –LotR:989 cf Letters:308; GAL, KHER, Letters:283, LT1:272, MAN/MANAD, VT43:19, 27-28, 30 -
3 COMMANDMENT
axan (law, rule, as primarily proceeding from Eru). Pl. axani is attested. –WJ:399, VT39:30, 23 -
4 INDUCE
sahta- (Þ) (referring primarily to inducing someone to do something against their will or conscience). –VT43:22 -
5 LAW
sanyë (Þ) (rule), axan (rule, commandment, as proceeding primarily from Eru; pl. axani is attested); LAW-ABIDING sanya (Þ) (normal, regular) (variant vorosanya with a prefixed element meaning "ever"). –STAN, WJ:399, VT39:30, 23, VT46:16 -
6 LETTER
tengwa (pl. tengwar is attested; this word was used primarily of the Fëanorian letters. However, the term "Tengwar of Rúmil" occurring in LotR:1151 seems to indicate that the word tengwa can indeed be used of a letter of any kind, not only the Fëanorian letters. In non-technical use tengwa may also be translated "consonant" [q.v.]. It is uncertain whether tengwa "letter" can be used in the sense mail, text sent in the post; the primary meaning is clearly "character, a single symbol in writing".) The noun tengwa is also the source of the verb tengwa- “read”. – Another word for “letter” is sarat (pl. sarati is attested) – an older [MET] word Tolkien notes was used of "a 'letter' or any individual significant mark", used of the Rúmilian letters after the invention of the Fëanorian Tengwar (but cf. the term "Tengwar of Rúmil" mentioned above). –TEK, WJ:396, VT49:48, LotR:1151 -
7 MARK
(in writing) tehta (sign, diacritic) (In LotR:1155, this word is applied to the supralinear vowel-signs of Fëanorian writing, and pl tehtar is attested.) sarat (pl. sarati is attested), originally [MET] a word used of "a 'letter' or any individual significant mark", but after the invention of the Tengwar primarily used of the Rúmilian letters. TINY MARK tixë (dot, point) –TEK/VT39:17, TIK, WJ:396 -
8 PEOPLE
lië, nossë (kin, house). Originally nórë meant "people", but in later [MET] Quenya it means primarily "land". SOME PEOPLE queni –LI, VT39:6, LT1:250/LT2:338, WJ:361 cf. 360 -
9 PRAY
\#hyam- (attested in the form hyamë, evidently incorporating the ending -ë of the aorist stem), arca- (the latter perhaps primarily in the sense "to petition", cf. the noun arcandë "petition"). –VT43:32, 33 (VT44:8, 18) -
10 SEE
cen- (behold) (future tense cenuva and imperative cena are attested), véla- (the latter maybe primarily "see" = "meet"). Also see LOOK AT. Interjections: SEE! ela (lo! look!) (directing sight to an actually visible object) NOW SEE! yé (lo!) Note: a homophone means "what is more". –MC:222, VT47:31, Arct, WJ:362 cf. 360, VT47:31 -
11 STELLAR
elenya (no gloss is actually given; the word is simply defined as "an adjective referring to stars". There are also the adjectives elda and elena, translated "of the stars". But in normal Quenya, elda primarily means "Elf", pl. Eldar. Use elenya or elena.) –WJ:362, Silm:431 -
12 STRANGER
ettelëa (reading uncertain; ettelëa seems to be primarily an adjective "foreign", though perhaps it can also be used as a noun "foreign (one)" = "stranger") –VT45:13 -
13 TOP
inga (referring "primarily to position and could be used of tops relatively broad". Note: a homophone means "first"). MOUNTAIN-TOP orotinga; TREE-TOP aldinga –VT47:28
