<A> A, AN (indefinite article) - no Quenya equivalent. Elen "star" may thus also be translated "a star" (LotR:94). The absence of the definite article i "the" usually indicates that the noun is indefinite (though there are exceptions - see THE). ABANDON hehta- (pa.t. hehtane is given but seems perfectly regular) (put aside, leave out, exclude, forsake) -WJ:365 ABHOR feuya-; THE ABHORRED Sauron (?) -PHEW, Silm:418 ABIDE mar- (be settled of fixed) (fut. #maruva is attested: maruvan "I will abide"); ABIDE BY himya- (cleave to, stick to); ABIDING sanda (?) (firm, true); LAW-ABIDING sanya (?) (regular, normal) -UT:317/LotR:1003, KHIM, STAN ABUNDANCE uve; ABUNDANT uvea (in a very great number), alya (rich, blessed, prosperous) -UB, GALA ABYSS undume -MC:222 cf. 215 ACCOUNT (noun) quentale (history), lumequenta (chronological account, history) -KWET, LU ACROSS arta (athwart) (Note: arta also means "fort, fortress") -LT2:335 ACTOR tyaro (agent, doer) -KYA ACTUAL anwa (real, true) -ANA ACUTE tereva (fine, piercing); ACUTE, ACUTENESS laice (keen, sharp, *piercing) (Laice prob. obsoletes laica in LT2:337) -TER, LAIK ADHERING himba (sticking) -KHIM ADMIRAL ciryatur (only attested as the personal name Ciryatur of an admiral, but the word means *"ship-ruler") -UT:239 ADULT (adj) vea (manly, vigorous); ADULT MAN veaner; ADULT MALE ner (pl neri) (man) -WEG, DER ADUNAKHOR Herunumen -UT:222, Silm:322 AEGNOR Aicanaro (so in Silm:435 and PM:345; MR:323 has Aicanar) (Sharp Flame, Fell Fire) AFTER #apa (only attested in compounds like Apanonar, see below), #ep- (used in compounds when the second part of the compound begins with a vowel, only attested in epesse "after-name" - see NICKNAME.) THE AFTER-BORN Apanonar (sg #Apanona) (i.e., an Elvish name of Men, according to WJ:387 "a word of lore, not used in daily speech") -Silm:122/WJ:387, UT:266 AGAIN ata; AGAIN (prefix) en-, (prefix) at-, ata- (back-, re-) (AT[AT]) AGE randa (cycle) -RAD AGENT tyaro (actor, doer) -KAR AGILE tyelca (swift) -KYELEK AGO ya -YA< DD> AGONY qualme (death), unquale (death) -KWAL AH (interj.) ai (alas) Ai! laurie lantar lassi Ah! golden fall the leaves (Nam) AIR vista (= air as substance); linde (tune, song, singing); vilya older [MET] wilya (sky); vilma (lower air) (perhaps changed to vista, but vilma was not struck out in Etym); PUFF OF AIR hwesta (breeze, breath); UPPER AIRS AND CLOUDS fanyare (skies), AIRY vilin (breezy) -WIS, LIN, WIL/LT1:273, SWES/LotR:1157, MC:223, LT1:273 ALAS (interj.) ai (ah) (Etym also gives a word nai, but this clashes with nai "be it that" in Namarie.) -Nam/RGEO:66, NAY ALIVE cuina; BEING ALIVE (noun not adj) cuile (life) (LT1:257 gives coina, coirea.) -KUY ALL ilya (the whole) (Note: ilya becomes ilye before a plural noun: ilye tier "all paths"); ALLNESS, THE ALL iluve (the whole), ALL THAT IS WANTED fare (plenitude, sufficiency) -IL, Nam cf. RGEO:67, Silm:433/WJ:402, PHAR ALLOW lav- (yield, grant); NOT ALLOW TO CONTINUE nuhta- (stunt, prevent from coming to completion, stop short) -DAB, WJ:413 ALONE er (one, alone, only, but, still), eresse (singly, only, also as noun: solitude) -ERE, LT1:269 ALPHABET tengwanda -TEK ALTOGETHER aqua (fully, completely, wholly) -WJ:392 *AMANIAN (only translated "of Aman" by Tolkien) amanya. Cf. also Umanyar, Uamanyar, Alamanyar "those not of Aman" (the Elves who started on the march from Cuivienen but did not reach Aman; contrast the Avamanyar, another name of the Avari.) -WJ:411, 373, 370, MR:163 AMLOTH *Ambalotse (Tolkien asterisked the word because it was not attested, only a possible Quenya form of Amloth. See "UPRISING-FLOWER".) -WJ:318 AMRAS Telufinwe (meaning "Last Finwe", not the equivalent in sense to his Sindarin name. The short form of his name was Telvo *"Last One". His mother-name [q.v.] was Ambarussa, but this name was not used in narrative.) -PM:353 AMROD Pityafinwe (meaning "Little Finwe", not the equivalent in sense to his Sindarin name. The short form of his name was Pityo *"Little One". His mother-name [q.v.] was Ambarto, or Umbarto, but these names were not used in narrative.) -PM:353 AN see A ANCIENT yara (belonging to or descending from former times) -YA AND ar (possibly a before f [and v?]: eldain a firimoin "for elves and men" [FS], cf. a valmarion "and of those of Valmar" [from "Antatye Voronwi" by C. Gilson, Vinyar Tengwar #31 p. 10]) (In Sauron Defeated p. ii, o is translated "and", but LotR, Silm and Etym all agree that the Quenya word for "and" is ar.) AND YET a-nanta/ananta (but yet) -AR/Nam/FS, NDAN ANGBAND Angamando (Iron-gaol) (so in MR:350 and Silm:428; Etym has Angamanda) -MR:350, Silm:428, MBAD ANGELIC POWER Vala (pl. Valar or Vali, gen. pl. Valion is attested in Firiel's Song); ANGELIC SPIRIT Ainu, f. Aini (holy one, god) -LotR:1157/BAL/FS, AYAN, LT1:248 ANGELN (island in the Danish peninsula) Eriollo -LT1:252 ANGROD Angarato -Silm:428 ANIMAL #kelva (only pl. kelvar is attested, translated "animals, living things that move" in Silm appendix and WJ:341); laman (pl. lamni or lamani) ("usually only applied to four-footed beasts, and never to reptiles and birds"); MALE ANIMAL hanu (male) -Silm:52/53,/405:3AN, WJ:416 ANYBODY - if anybody: aiquen (whoever) -WJ:372 APRIL Viresse -LotR:1144/1146 AR-ADUNAKHOR Tar-Herun&u acute;men -UT:222, Silm:322 AR-BELZAGAR Tar-Calmacil -UT:222 AR-GIMILZOR Tar-Telemnar -UT:223 AR-INZILADUN Tar-Palantir -UT:223, Silm:324 AR-PHARAZON Tar-Calion -UT:224, Silm:324 AR-SAKALTHOR Tar-Falassion -UT:223 AR-ZIMRAPHEL Tar-Miriel -UT:224, Silm:324 AR-ZIMRATHON Tar-Hostamir -UT:222 ARCTURUS (a star) Morwinyon (said to mean "the glint at dusk" or "glint in the dark") -LT1:260 ARE see BE ARGON Aracano -PM:345 ARM ranco (pl ranqui) (LT2:335 gives ra [there spelt ra], but this word is certainly obsolete: In Etym, ra is glossed "lion".) -RAK ARMY hosse (band, troop) -LT2:340 ARNOR Arnanor, Arnanore ("royal land") -Letters:428 ARROW pilin (pl pilindi) -PILIM ART Carme (making, production) -UT:396 ARTIFICIAL CAVE hrota (dwelling underground, rockhewn hall) -PM:365 AS (prep) ve (like) -Nam/RGEO:66, 67 ASCENT rosta, ASCENSION orosta -LT1:267, 256 ASGARD Valinor, Valinore (Tolkien actually uses this gloss of Valinor, as Asgard is the City of the Gods in Norse mythology) -LT1:272 ASIDE - stand aside! heca! - also with pronominal affixes: sg hecat, pl hecal "you stay aside!" (be gone!) LEAVING ASIDE hequa (not counting, excluding, except) -WJ:364, 365 *ASK #maquet- (only pa.t. maquente is attested. The word is not translated, but undoubtedly means "asked": 'Mana i-coimas in-Eldaron?' maquente Elendil [PM:403]. The question itself is translated "What is the coimas of the Eldar?", so the rest must be "Elendil asked". Furthermore, maquente is transparently quente "said" with the interrogative element ma [PM:357] prefixed.) ASLEEP lorna -LOS ASSEMBLE hosta- (gather, collect) -MC:223 ASSOCIATE otorno (sworn brother) oselle (?) (sworn sister) -TOR, THEL ASTRONOMER meneldil -Letters:386 ATHWART arta (across) (Note: arta also means "fort, fortress"); GO ATHWART tara- (cross) -LT2:335, 347 AUGER teret (gimlet) -LT1:255 AUGUST Urime (so in LotR; UT has Urime) -LotR:1144, UT:302/470 AUTHORITY Mahan (pl Mahani is given, but seems perfectly regular). Tolkien once stated that Valar should strictly be translated "the Authorities" (MR:350), but Vala obviously cannot be used to translate "authority" in general; it was used only of the Valar themselves (WJ:404). Cf. also adj. valya "having (divine) authority or power". Mahani was adopted from Valarin and originally probably referred to the Valar themselves. We are not told whether Mahan could or should be applied to a non-divine authority (at least it should not be capitalized if so used). Note: Mahan means *"Supreme One" rather than "authority" as an abstract. -MR:350, BAL, WJ:399/402 AUTUMN yavie (harvest - in the Calendar of Imladris, yavie was a precisely defined period of 54 days, but the word was also used without any exact definition), lasselanta ("leaf-fall", used of the beginning of winter or as a synonym of quelle; see FADING. Also spelt lasse-lanta with a hyphen), narquelion ("fire-fading" - this word from Firiel's Song and Etym seems to correspond to narquelie in LotR, but the latter is the name of the month corresponding to our October.) LT1:273 has yavan "autumn, harvest", but this word may be obsoleted by yavie. -LotR:1142, 1144, 1145/Silm:439/LT1:254, DAT, FS, NAR/KWAL, Letters:382 AVENUE OF TREES aldeon -LT1:249 AWAKE coiva- (so in LT1:257; read *cuiva- in mature Quenya? Cf. the following:) AWAKENING (noun) cuivie (obsoleting coivie in LT1:257), cuive; AWAKENING (adj) cuivea -KUY/Silm:429 AWAY oa, oar (viewed from the point of view of the thing, person, or place left). See also GO AWAY. -WJ:366 cf. 361 AWNING teltasse -GL:70 AXE pelecco -LT2:346
