1 intë
*"themselves", 3rd person pl. reflexive pronoun, e.g. *i neri tirir intë, "the men watch themselves". Intë is derived from earlier imte VT47:37. Conceivably intë is only used for "themselves" with reference to persons; impersonal "themselves" ought to be *inta or *intai, compare ta \#3, tai \#2. A form *intai might however have evolved into *intë by the Third Age like pl. adjectives in -ai later came to end in -ë, thus converging with the personal form.% In an earlier source, Tolkien listed intë as an emphatic pronoun *they, 3rd person plural VT49:48, 49; compare the pronominal ending -ntë. The word intë derived from inde via inze, an unusual development in Quenya also appears as a candidate 2nd person singular polite form VT49:49. -
2 -xë
ks reflextive pronominal ending, presumably meaning *oneself, myself, themselves etc.; plural -xer, dual -xet VT49:48. Presumably it can be used in constructions like *i nér tirnexë the man watched himself *tirnesexë he watched himself, plural *i neri tirnexer the men watched themselves *tirneltexer they watched themselves, dual e.g. *i ontaru tirnexet the parents watched themselves *tirnettexet they dual watched themselves. -
3 Ingwë
masc. name, "chief", name of the "prince of Elves" PM:340, ING, WEG, VT45:18. Pl. Ingwer "Chieftains", what the Vanyar called themselves so in PM:340, but in PM:332 the plural has the more regular form Ingwi. Ingwë Ingweron "chief of the chieftains", proper title of Ingwë as high king PM:340. In the Etymologies, Ingwë is also said to be the name of a symbol used in writing: a short carrier with an i-tehta above it, denoting short i VT45:18. -
4 fana
noun term denoting the "veils" or "raiment" in which the Valar presented themselves to physical eyes, the bodies in which they were self-incarnated, usually in the shape of the bodies of Elves and Men RGEO:74, PE17:173-180. According to PE17:26, fana may be said to mean shape with added notion of light and whiteness, it is thus often used where we might use a vision of something beautiful or sublime, yet with no connotation of uncertainty or unreality. -
5 -ttë
1 they, dual 3rd person pronominal ending the two of them VT49:51, replacing also within the legendarium the older ending -stë which was later used for the second person only. This older ending -stë corresponds to a possessive ending -sta their VT49:16, but this was presumably likewise altered to *-tta as the new ending for dual their = of the two of them. 2, 3rd person pl. reflexive ending, as in melittë they love themselves VT49:21. This ending can hardly coexist with \#1 above; an alternative wording would be the analytical construction *meliltë intë. Compare -ssë \#2. -
6 nauca
"k" adj. "stunted" VT39:7, stunted, shortened, dwarfed PE17:45, especially applied to things that though in themselves full-grown were smaller or shorter than their kind, and were hard, twisted or ill-shapen WJ:413. The word can also be used as a noun dwarf PE17:45, the meaning it also had in Tolkiens early "Qenya" LT1:261, but the distinct noun-form Nauco may be more usual. -
7 Mandos(Mandost-)
noun "Castle of Custody" the approximate meaning, according to MR:350. Used as the name of a Vala, properly the place where he dwells the Halls of Mandos, whereas his real name is Námo WJ:402. In Tolkiens mythology, the Halls of Mandos are the abode of the dead, where their spirits remain until they are released from this world in the case of mortals or rebodied in the case of Elves except for those who are refused or themselves refuse further incarnate life, and so remain in Mandos indefinitely. In the Etymologies, Mandos also Mandossë is interpreted somewhat differently, "Dread Imprisoner"MBAD MANAD,VT45:32 or in a deleted version "Dread Doom" VT45:33, where Mandos was asigned the stem Mandosse-. The interpretation Dread Imprisoner would suggest that Tolkien at the time thought of Mandos as being also properly the name of a person, the Vala Námo, not the name of a place. See also Mando. -
8 Lindi
pl. noun: what the Green-elves Laiquendi, Nandor called themselves; also used in Exilic Quenya WJ:385 -
9 te
pron. "they, them", 3rd person pl. VT49:51, LotR3:VI ch. 4, translated in Letters:308. The pronoun te represents an original stem-form VT49:50. Dative ten, téna or tien for them, to them q.v. Stressed té VT49:51. Ótë *"with them", q.v. VT43:20 connects te "them" with a discussion of Common Eldarin pronominal stems ca. 1940s, where te is the "personal" 3rd person pl. stem, referring to persons rather than abstracts or inanimates which are denoted by ta instead; see, however, the entry ta \#3 regarding the problems with this form, and the hints that te may possibly be used with reference to inanimates as well. Also consider the reflexive pronoun intë *"themselves", the final element of which is apparently this pronoun te; see also tú for the dual form. -
10 Lindar
noun "Singers" sg. Linda, what the Teleri called themselves WJ:380, MR:349, UT:253, 286. It seems that Lindar is also interpreted "the Beautiful" cf. the common adj. linda "fair, beautiful", but this interpretation apparently belongs primarily to Tolkien's earlier conception, when Lindar was the name of the First Clan, the name of which he revised to Vanyar similarly meaning "the Fair". Adj. Lindarin = Telerin but Tolkien of course held it to be = Vanyarin when the First Clan, the later Vanyar, were still called Lindar before he decided to apply this name to the third clan, the Teleri TĀ/TA3
