21 LIKE
(vb): “I like it” can be paraphrased as nas mara nin, “it is good to me” (good from my perspective) (VT49:30). The idiom thus involves the verb “to be” + mara (read mára) “good” + a dative form representing what in English is the subject. (prep) ve (as) The expression “like that” (= “so, also”) may be translated ta as in ta mára “so good” –Nam/RGEO:66, 67, VT49:12 -
22 LINDI
Lindi (What the Nandorin Elves called themselves; the word could be adopted unchanged into Exilic Quenya. Sg \#Lindë?) –WJ:385 -
23 LO

24 MAKE
\#car- (1st pers. aorist carin "I make, build". The same verb is translated "form" in WJ:391: i carir quettar, "those who form words". According to Etym the past tense is carnë, though FS and SD:246 have cárë. Past participle \#carna *"made" is attested in Vincarna *"newly-made" in MR:305; the longer participial form carina occurs in VT43:15, read probably *cárina with a long vowel to go with such late participial forms like rácina "broken"). MAKING carmë (glossed "art" in UT:396 and is also translated "production", but cf. the following:) NAME-MAKING Essecarmë (an Eldarin seremony in which the father of a child announces its name.) MAKE FAST avalerya- (bind, restrain, deprive of liberty). TO (MAKE) FIT camta- (sic; the cluster mt seems unusual for Quenya, and while the source does not explicitly say that this word is Quenya, it is difficult to understand what other language could be intended) (suit, accomodate, adapt). MAKE FOR IT mína- (desire to go in some direction, to wish to go to a place, have some end in view). –KAR, WJ:391, MR:214, VT41:5, 6, VT44:14, VT39:11 -
25 MORE
ambë (adverb), amba (adjective/noun), “used of any kind of measurement spatial, temporal, or quantitative” (note that amba is also the adverb “up”). Early material lists lil as a term for “more”. ONE MORE enta (another). (Note: a homophone means "that yonder"). MOREOVER, FURTHERMORE, WHAT IS MORE entë, yëa, yé (Note: yé is also an interjection "lo! now see!") See FURTHERMORE. –PE17:91, PE14:80, VT47:15, 31 -
26 NOW
sí, sín/sin (the latter form may evidently be used when the next word has an initial vowel; cf. the distribution of "a" and "an" in English. However, sí may also occur before vowels; the word appears before ar "and" in a text published in VT43:27.) Variant si. NOW SEE! (interjection) yé (lo!) Note: a homophone means "what is more". –SI, cf. LR:47, VT43:27, VT43:34, VT47:31, VT49:18 -
