1 Utumno
stem *Utumnu-, place-name, the first great stronghold of Melkor in the North SA:tum, TUB. The etymology apparently has something to do with "very deep" or "very hidden"; the phrase "Utumno the Deep-hidden" in MR:67 may include a rough translation of the name. This later source derives the name from a root meaning "cover over, hide", whereas in Etym it was derived from the root TUB having to do with low-lying things. Whether the primitive form is ¤Utubnu as in Etym TUB or ¤Utupnu as in MR:69, the stem-form would be *Utumnu-. -
2 Avallónë
place-name; haven and city on Tol Eressëa. In the Akallabêth the city is said to be so named because it is "of all cities the nearest to Valinor", but the etymology is not further explained. The Etymologies gives Avalóna "the outer isle" = Tol Eressëa LONO, AWA, VT45:28 -
3 yelmë
1 noun "loathing". In the Etymologies as printed in LR, entry DYEL, the word appears as **yelma, but according to VT45:11 this is a misreading of Tolkien's manuscript. According to VT46:22, yelmë briefly appeared as a word for "daughter" ? 2 noun not glossed; the etymology may suggest *"friendship" YEL, struck out -
4 ornë
noun "tree" Letters:308, SD:302: "when smaller and more slender like a birch or rowan", Etym stem ÓR-NI: "tree, high isolated tree". For the etymology, see Letters:426; for original difference in meaning between ornë and alda, see alda. In ornemalin "tree-yellow"; see laurelindórenan lindelorendor... LotR2:III ch. 4; cf. Letters:308, also as final element in malinornë yellow-tree, mallorn q.v. Masc. name Ornendil *"Tree-friend" Appendix A, compound Ornelië tree-folk Quenya name of the Galadhrim, the tree-people of Lórien TI:239. -
5 en-
4 prefix "again-", re- PE17:68, in enquantuva "shall refill", entuluva, "shall come again", Envinyatar "Renewer", envinyanta "healed, *renewed", enyalië "to recall" Nam, RGEO:67, LotR3:V ch. 8, VT41:16, MR:405, UT:317; as for the etymology of en-, see comments on Common Eldarin base EN "again, once more" in VT48:25 -
6 alda
noun "tree" GALAD, GÁLAD, SA, Nam, RGEO:66, LR:41, SD:302, LT1:249, LT2:340, VT39:7, also name of tengwa \#28 Appendix E. Pl. aldar in Narqelion; gen. pl. aldaron "of trees" in Namárië. Etymology of alda, see Letters:426 and UT:266-7. The latter source states that primitive ¤galadā, whence Quenya alda, originally applied to stouter and more spreading trees such as oaks or beeches, while straighter and more slender trees such as birches were called ¤ornē, Quenya ornë - but this distinction was not always observed in Quenya, and it seems that alda became the general word. According to PE17:25, primitive galada sic referred to a plant large and was a general term. Place-name Aldalómë tree-night or tree-shade-night LotR2:III ch. 4, translated in PE17:82; Aldarion masc. name, *"Son of the Trees" Appendix A, Tar-Aldarion a Númenorean King UT:210. Aldaron a name of Oromë Silm; aldinga "tree-top" VT47:28, aldarembina pl. aldarembinë attested adj. tree-tangled, the cognate of Sindarin galadhremminPM:17:26.Aldúya fourth day of the Eldarin six-day week, dedicated to the Trees Appendix D. The word seems to include *Aldu, a dual form referring to the Two Trees. The Númenóreans altered the name to Aldëa presumably *aldajā, referring to one tree the White only. The dual Aldu seems to occur also in Aldudénië "Lament for the Two Trees" a strange word, since Quenya does not permit intervocalic d as in this word perhaps the Vanyarin dialect of Quenya did Silm -
7 ar
1 conj. "and" ARsup2/sup, SA, FS, Nam, RGEO:67, CO, LR:47, 56, MC:216, VT43:31, VT44:10, 34; see VT47:31 for etymology, cf. also VT49:25, 40. The older form of the conjunction was az PE17:41. Ar is often assimilated to al, as before l, s PE17:41, 71, but in written Quenya ar was usually written in all cases PE17:71. In one case, Tolkien altered the phrase ar larmar and raiments to al larmar; the former may then be seen as representing the spelling, whereas the latter represents the pronunciation PE17:175. More complex schemes of assimilation are suggested to have existed in Old Quenya, the conjunction varying between ar, a and as depending on the following consonant PE17:41, 71. An alternative longer form of the conjunction, arë, is said to occur "occasionally in Tolkien's later writings" VT43:31, cf. VT48:14. In the Etymologies, the word for "and" was first written as ara VT45:6. In one source, Tolkien notes that Quenya used ar as preposition beside, next, or as adverb = and PE17:145; compare ara. 2 noun "day" PE17:148, apparently short for árë,occurring in the names of the Valinorean week listed below. Tolkien indicated that ar in these names could also be arë when the following element begins in a consonant VT45:27. Usually the word for "day" in LotR-style Quenya is rather aurë or ré, q.v. -
8 elda
1. originally adj. "of the stars", but wholly replaced WJ:362 by: 2. noun Elda = one of the people of the Stars, high-elf, an Elf SA:êl, elen, Letters:281, ELED, ÉLED; notice that Tolkien abandoned a former etymology with "depart", chiefly in the pl. Eldar WJ:362, cf. GATH, TELES.The primitive form Tolkien variously cited as ¤eledā/ elenā Letters:281, PE17:152 and ¤eldā WJ:360. Partitive pl. Eldali VT49:8, gen. pl. Eldaron WJ:368, PM:395, 402;dative pl.eldain "for elves", for Eldar FS; possessive sg. Eldava "Elf's" WJ:407; possessive pl. Eldaiva WJ:368, Eldaivë governing a plural word WJ:369. The word Eldar properly refers to the non-Avari Elves only, but since Eldar rarely had any contact with the Avari, it could be used for "elves" in general in LT1:251, Elda is simply glossed "Elf". See also Eldo. The plural form Eldar should not require any article when the reference is to the entire people; i Eldar refers to a limited group, all the Elves previously named; nevertheless, Tolkien in some sources does use the article even where the reference seems to be generic i Eldar or i-Eldar, VT49:8. -
9 tyelpë
noun "silver" KYELEP/TELEP, etymology also in Letters:426 and UT:266. Tyelpë is the true Quenya descendant of primitive ¤kyelepē, 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 the Etymologies, tyelpë is also the name of Tengwa \#1 with overposed dots, this symbol having the value ty VT45:25. Cf. tyelpetéma as the name of the entire palatal series of the Tengwar system. -
10 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 -
11 palan
adv.? afar PE17:86, "far, distant, wide, to a great extent" PAL, "wide, over a wide space, to a distance" VT45:21, "far and wide" in palantír pl. palantíri"Far-gazer", the magical far-seeing stones made by the Noldor in the First Age SA:palan, PAL, PE17:86. For etymology, see Letters:427. The spelling pálan-tìr in PE17:86 may seem to indicate an unusual stress pattern with primary stress on the initial syllable and a secondary stress on the final one normally a Quenya word of this shape would be stressed on ant; it is unclear if this source describes the Quenya accents or some older pattern. Also Palantir masc. name, "Far-sighted" Appendix A, SA:palan, PAL, TIR; assimilated palar- in Palarran "Far-Wanderer", name of a ship palan + ran UT:179 -
12 nís(niss-)
as in pl. nissi noun "woman" MR:213. The Etymologies gives nis or nissë, pl. nissi: see the stems NDIS-SĒ/SĀ, NIsup1/sup, NIS NĒR, VT46:4; compare VT47:33. In Tolkien's Quenya rendering of Hail Mary, the plural nísi occurs instead of nissi; this form is curious, since nísi would be expected to turn into *nízi, *níri VT43:31. VT47:33 suggests that Tolkien at one point considered niþ- as the older form of the stem, which etymology would solve this problem since s from older þ does not become z r. Even so, the MR forms, nís with stem niss-, may be preferred. - Compare ní, \#nína, nisto, Lindissë. -
13 -uva
future tense ending. In avuva, caluva, cenuva, hiruva, enquantuva, entuluva, laituvalmet, lauva, maruvan, termaruva, tiruvantes. A final -a drops out before the ending -uva is added: quanta- fill, future tense quantuva PE17:68. A verbal stem in -av- may be contracted when -uva follows, as when avuva is stated to have become auva VT49:13. Origin/etymology of the ending -uva, see VT48:32. In VT49:30, the future tense of the verb to be is given as uva, apparently the future-tense ending appearing independently, but several other sources rather give nauva for will be see ná \#1. -
14 aman
adj. "blessed, free from evil". Adopted and adapted from Valarin WJ:399, though in other versions Tolkien cited an Elvish etymology cf. VT49:26-27. Place-name Aman the Blessed Realm, from the stem mān- "good, blessed, unmarred" SA:mān, translated Unmarred State VT49:26. Allative Amanna VT49:26. Adj. amanya "of Aman, *Amanian" WJ:411, nominal pl. Amanyar "those of Aman", Elves dwelling there with negations Úamanyar, Alamanyar "those not of Aman". Also fuller Amaneldi noun *"Aman-elves" WJ:373.Masc. name Amandil *"Aman-friend" Appendix A, SA:mān, the father of Elendil; also name of the Númenorean king Tar-Amandil UT:210. -
15 coa
"köa" noun "house" VT47:35, with etymology; coarya "his house" WJ:369, allative coaryanna k to/at his house VT49:23, 35, quenderinwë coar koar Elvish bodies PE17:175. Notice how coa house is here used metaphorically = body, as also in the compound coacalina "light of the house"a metaphor for the soul fëa dwelling inside the body hroa MR:250 -
16 maca-
"k" vb. "to forge metal" which rang at the stokes of hammers. VT41:10; in this source this is suggested as the origin of the word macil "sword", but mac- above would also seem to be relevant, so Tolkien may have changed his mind about the precise etymology of macil. -
17 Uinen(Uinend-)
as in dative Uinenden fem. name, used of a Maia, spouse of Ossë UY, NEN. Adopted and adapted from Valarin WJ:404, though it is also said that it contains -nen "water" SA:nen; the latter explanation may be folk etymology. In the Etymologies, the name is derived from the same stem UY as uilë "long trailing plant, especially seaweed". -
18 Ulmo
masc. name, used of the Vala of all waters ULU, interpreted "the Pourer" by folk etymology, but the name was actually adopted and adapted from Valarin WJ:400 -
19 minquë
"q" cardinal "eleven" MINIK-W, LT1:260, VT48:4, 6, 8, VT49:57. Not to be confused with minquë as the pa.t. of miqu- "to kiss", q.v. Etymology discussed, VT48:7, 8 where the unorthodox spelling "minkwe" occurs besides "minque". -
20 Narsil(Þ)
noun the sword of Elendil, compound of the stems seen in Anar "Sun" and Isil "Moon"; see Letters:425 for etymology
