word fana [in Etym fána] for "cloud" or "veil", but
in Quenya it came to denote the visible bodies in
which the Valar manifested themselves to
incarnates. When fana no longer meant "cloud",
this meaning was evidently transferred to the
derivative fanya, originally probably meaning
"white" or as noun "white thing".) UPPER AIRS
