1 TALL
halla, tunda (Note: the latter has a homophone meaning "kindle"), tára (high) –LotR:1157, TUN, WJ:417 -
2 HIGH
tára (lofty, tall), oro- (in compounds: oromardi "high-halls"). The element \#Ar- in Arfanyarassë (a name of Taniquetil) is said to mean "high (i.e., noble, revered)". VERY HIGH antara (with Antaro as a corresponding proper name, denoting a mountain in Valinor, VT46:17) (lofty). HIGH HEAVEN tarmenel (locative tarmeneldë also attested), HIGH PLACE \#tarmen (pl. locative tarmenissen attested), HIGH TIDE luimë (flood). –WJ:417, Nam/RGEO:66, WJ:416, VT45:5/VT46:17, VT44:34, VT48:23, 24 -
3 KINDLE
tinta- (cause to sparkle), narta-; in older [TLT] materiel also turu-, tunda- (Note: there is a homophone meaning "tall") –Silm:438, VT45:37, LT1:270 -
4 LOFTY
tára (tall, high); compare antara "very lofty". Also arta (exalted, noble; note that homophones mean "athwart" and also "fort"). (According to Letters:282, Varda means "Lofty" [WJ:402 has "the Sublime"], but this word should probably not be used as a common adjective.) LOFTY TOWER see TOWER. –TĀ/Silm:437/LT1:264, VT45:36, VT46:17, PM:354 -
5 TOWER
mindon (also translated "Lofty Tower"; allative pl mindonnar or mindoninnar is attested) (turret), mindo (=isolated tower), tirion (= watchtower; also defined as "a mighty tower, a city on a hill), tirin (= tall tower; Note: a homophone means "I watch") See also TOWN WITH WALLS AND TOWERS. –LT2:346/MC:222, MINI, LT1:258, TIR -
6 UPRISING
(noun) ambaron, Ambarónë (sunrise, Orient) (a similar but untranslated word, Ambaróna, occurs in LotR:490). Rómen is glossed "uprising, sunrise, east" in Silm:437, but the normal meaning of the word is always "east". Cf. also: "UPRISING-FLOWER" *ambalotsë ("referring to the flower or floreate device used as a crest fixed to [the] point of a tall [illegible word, possibly 'archaic'] helmet", "pointed helm-crest". Tolkien asterisked the word because it was not attested, only a possible Quenya form of the name Amloth) –AM2, LotR:490, WJ:318
