1 NUMBER
nótë, LARGE NUMBER hosta, IN A VERY GREAT NUMBER úvëa; NUMBERLESS únótima (pl. únótimë attested) (uncountable, countless) –NOT, KHOTH, UB, Nam/VT39:14 -
2 GREAT NUMBER
– in a very great number: úvëa (abundant) –UB -
3 ABUNDANCE
úvë; ABUNDANT úvëa (in a very great number), úmëa (swarming, teaming – but elsewhere a similar word is defined as "evil", so úvëa may be preferred), alya (rich, blessed, prosperous) –UB, VT48:32, GALA -
4 HOLY
airë. The word aina also occurs in a number of sources (e.g. VT44:7, 17-18); according to VT43:32 this word is "obsolete except in Ainur", but it may occur in sources post-dating this statement. Yet another word for "holy", aista, is seemingly only attested in a translation of "holy spirit" which Tolkien later replaced with a form including airë instead (see below). HOLY ONE ainu (m.), aini (f.) (angelic spirit, god); HOLY PLACE yána (fane, sanctuary); HOLY SPIRIT airefëa (other version: fairë aista; both versions are attested with the dative ending -n attached) –Nam, AYAN/WJ:399,, YAN, VT43:36, 37 -
5 IN A
VERY GREAT NUMBER úvëa (abundant) –UB -
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 TRIBE
hostar –LT2:340; the conceptual validity of this "Qenya" word may be questioned, since in later Quenya it looks like the pl. form of hosta "large number" -
8 YEAR
loa (lit. "growth"), coranar (lit. "sun-round", used when the year was considered more or less astronomically – but loa is stated to be the more usual word for "year"). The pl. coranári is attested (PM:126). LONG-YEAR yén (pl. yéni is attested in Nam; the Etymologies as printed in LR cite the stem-form as yen-, but according to VT46:22 Tolkien's manuscript actually has the pl. form yéni as in Nam). A "long-year" is a period of 144 solar years, an Elvish "century" – the Eldar used duodecimal counting, in which 144 is the first three-digit number, like our 100. But sometimes it seems that yén simply means "year". Cf the following words: LAST YEAR yenya, HAVING MANY YEARS linyenwa (old), *RECKONING OF YEARS Yénonótië –LotR:1141, YEN, MR:51
