  ADÛNAKHOR Herunúmen

  AEGNOR Aicanáro

  AFFECT #ap-

  AFFECTIONATE méla

  AFFLICTED - be afflicted: moia- (labour). The participle *moiala may then be used to translate "afflicted" as an adjective, describing one who is "labouring" or toiling as a thrall. -VT43:31

  AFTER apa (attested in compounds like Apanónar, see below), #ep- (used in compounds when the second part of the compound begins with a vowel, only attested in epessë "after-name" - see NICKNAME.) It may be that the prefix #ep- belongs to another conceptual phase in Tolkien's development of Quenya. Variant forms of apa "after" include opo and pó/po (VT44:36). According to VT44:26, the preposition apa may also appear as pa, pá (cf. yéni pa yéni "years after years" in VT44:35), but pa/pá is in other manuscripts defined as "touching, as regards, concerning". THE AFTER-BORN Apanónar (sg #Apanóna) (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])

  AGAINST: According to VT44:26, Tolkien in some documents glosses apa or pá as "touching, against", but apa is normally the preposition "after" instead.

  AGE randa (cycle); AGES OF AGES yénion yéni -RAD, VT44:36

  AGENT tyaro (actor, doer) -KAR

  AH (interj.) ai (alas) Ai! laurië lantar lassi Ah! golden fall the leaves (Nam)

  AIR vista (= air as substance); lindë (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 fanyarë (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 Namárië.); also orro or horro as an "exclamation of horror, pain, disgust: ugh, alas! ow!" -Nam/RGEO:66, NAY, VT45:17

  ALIVE cuina; BEING ALIVE (noun not adj) cuilë (life) (LT1:257 gives coina, coirëa.) -KUY

  ALL ilya (all of a particular group of things, the whole, each, every) (Note: ilya normally appears as ilyë before a plural noun: ilyë tier "all paths"); ALLNESS, THE ALL ilúvë (the whole), ALL THAT IS  WANTED fárë (plenitude, sufficiency) -VT39:20, VT44:9, 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 (see also LONELY, SOLE) er (one, alone, only, but, still), eressë (singly, only, also as noun: solitude) -ERE, LT1:269

  ALPHABET tengwanda -TEK

  ALSO yando -QL:104

  ALWAYS illumë (earlier variants of the relevant text also have vora and vorë, forms Tolkien may or may not have abandoned) -VT44:9

  ALTOGETHER aqua (fully, completely, wholly) -WJ:392

 *AMANIAN (only translated "of Aman" by Tolkien) amanya. Cf. also Úmanyar, Úamanyar, Alamanyar "those not of Aman" (the Elves who started on the march from Cuiviénen but did not reach Aman; contrast the Avamanyar, another name of the Avari.) -WJ:411, 373, 370, MR:163

  AMEN (Hebrew: "truly, certainly, may it be so") násië (another form, násan, was apparently abandoned by Tolkien) -VT43:24, 35

  AMLOTH *Ambalotsë

  AMONG imíca, mici -VT43:30

  AMRAS Telufinwë (meaning "Last Finwë", 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 Pityafinwë (meaning "Little Finwë", 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 yára (old, belonging to or descending from former times) -YA

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. A longer variant arë is mentioned in VT43:31.) AND YET a-nanta/ananta (but yet) -AR/Nam/FS, VT43:31, NDAN

  ANGBAND Angamando (Iron-gaol) (so in MR:350 and Silm:428; Etym has Angamanda, or in deleted material Angavanda). -MR:350, Silm:428, MBAD, VT45:6

  ANYBODY - if anybody: aiquen (whoever) -WJ:372

  APPROPRIATE (to a special purpose or owner) #sat- (set aside). The verb #sat- is cited in the form "sati-", evidently including the connecting vowel of the aorist, as in *satin "I appropriate". -VT42:20

  ARE see BE

  ARGON Aracáno -PM:345

  ARM ranco (pl ranqui) (LT2:335 gives rá [there spelt râ], but this word is certainly obsolete: In Etym, rá is glossed "lion".) -RAK

  ARMY hossë (band, troop) -LT2:340

  ARNOR Arnanor, Arnanórë ("royal land") -Letters:428

  ART Carmë (making, production) -UT:396

  ARTIFICIAL CAVE hróta (dwelling underground, rockhewn hall) -PM:365

  AS (prep) ve (like). The longer variant sívë appears to introduce a comparison with something that is near to the point or thought of the speaker, whereas tambë introduces a comparison with something remote, as in Tolkien's translation of one line from the Lord's Prayer: cemendë tambë Erumandë "on earth as in heaven" ("heaven" being remote – we may theorize that "in heaven as [here] on earth" would translate as *Erumandë sívë cemendë, since "earth" would represent the position of the speaker). NOTE: a homophone sívë means "peace". AS REGARDS pa, pá (concerning, touching) -Nam/RGEO:66, 67, VT43:12, 38, VT44:26

  ASCENT rosta, ASCENSION orosta -LT1:267, 256

  ASGARD Valinor, Valinórë (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. maquentë is attested. The word is not translated, but undoubtedly means "asked": 'Mana i·coimas in·Eldaron?' maquentë Elendil [PM:403]. The question itself is translated "What is the coimas of the Eldar?", so the rest must be "Elendil asked". Furthermore, maquentë is transparently quentë "said" with the interrogative element ma [PM:357] prefixed.) ASK FOR - see DEMAND.

  ASLEEP lorna -LOS

  ASSEMBLE hosta- (gather, collect) -MC:223

  ASSOCIATE otorno (sworn brother) osellë (Þ) (sworn sister) -TOR, THEL

  ASTRONOMER meneldil -Letters:386

  AT sé, se (the form with a long vowel may be preferred since se is apparently also a 3rd person pronoun) (in) -VT43:30, 34

  ATHWART arta (across) (Note: arta also means "fort, fortress"); GO ATHWART tara- (cross) -LT2:335, 347   

  AUGER teret (gimlet) -LT1:255

  AUGUST Urimë (so in LotR; UT has Úrimë) -LotR:1144, UT:302/470

  AUTHORITY Máhan (pl Máhani 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". Máhani was adopted from Valarin and originally probably referred to the Valar themselves. We are not told whether Máhan could or should be applied to a non-divine authority (at least it should not be capitalized if so used). Note: Máhan means *"Supreme One" rather than "authority" as an abstract. -MR:350, BAL, WJ:399/402

  AUTUMN yávië (harvest - in the Calendar of Imladris, yávië 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 quellë; see FADING. Also spelt lasse-lanta with a hyphen), narquelion ("fire-fading" - this word from Fíriel's Song and Etym seems to correspond to narquelië in LotR, but the latter is the name of the month corresponding to our October.) LT1:273 has yávan "autumn, harvest", but this word may be obsoleted by yávië. -LotR:1142, 1144, 1145/Silm:439/LT1:254, DAT, FS, NAR/KWAL, Letters:382

  AVENUE OF TREES aldëon -LT1:249

  AWAKE coiva- (so in LT1:257; read *cuiva- in Tolkien's later Quenya? Cf. the following:) AWAKENING (noun) cuivië (obsoleting coivië in LT1:257), cuivë; AWAKENING (adj) cuivëa -KUY/Silm:429

  AWAY oa, oar (viewed from the point of view of the thing, person, or place left). Oar is used of movement only, as in "I went away". See also GO AWAY. -WJ:366 cf. 361, VT39:6.

  AWNING teltassë -GL:70

  AXE pelecco -LT2:346
