Helge K. Fauskanger http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/ DAY aurë (sunlight; Etym gives arë, ari- instead). The word aurë is defined as “a day (of light), a day of special meaning or festival”; allative aurenna “upon the day” (VT49:45). Cf. also: arya (= 12 hours), ré (= 24 hours, counted from sunset to sunset, allative rénna in VT49:45), sana (= also 24 hours, but this is "Qenya"), DAYTIME arië, EARLY DAY †amaurëa (dawn), DAYLIGHT – LT1:254 gives calma, but this word is defined "lamp" in LotR. LAST DAY OF YEAR quantien, FIRST DAY (meaning obscure, possibly first day of year) minyen. (In the entry YEN of the Etymologies as printed in LR, minyen is seemingly glossed both "first day" and "first year", but according to VT46:23, only "first day" is correct.) DAYSPRING tuilë –AR 1 /VT45:6, Silm:229/234/439, LotR:1141, LT1:250, MC:223, YEN DEAD firin (= dead by natural cause), qualin (related to qualmë "agony, death" and probably has darker connotations than firin), vanwa (departed, lost, past, gone, vanished, no longer to be had), hessa (withered). DEAD BODY loico (corpse) –KWAL, PHIR, MC:223, LT1:255, WJ:366 DEAL WITH mahta- (fight, handle, manage, wield, wield a weapon); pa.t. mahtanë is attested. –MAK/VT39:11, VT47:6, 18, 19, VT49:10 DEAR melda (beloved), melin, moina (familiar), #melya (isolated from Melyanna "dear gift", Melian's Quenya name), valda (worth, worthy). Cf. also the "suffix of endearment" -ya mentioned in UT:418: Anardilya *"dear Anardil" (UT:174). DEAR KINSMAN (form of address) tyenya (literally “my thou”, with tye as an intimate 2nd person pronoun reserved for relatives and close friends). –MEL, MOY, Silm:434, GL:23, VT49:51 DEATH qualmë, unqualë (agony; according to VT45:24, Tolkien changed this word to anqualë), #fírië, #effírië (basically "expiration", attested with the ending -mmo in fíriemmo, effíriemmo "of our death"), nuru, older ñuru (personalized Nuru = Mandos), fairë (natural death [as act]) (Note: fairë also means "radiance" and "phantom", and even [in LT1:250] "free"), urdu –KWAL/LT1:264, VT43:34, ÑGUR/VT46:4, PHIR, LT2:342 DEBT #rohta (attested in pl. form rohtar). Used in draft version of Tolkien's Quenya Lord's prayer, this word may refer to moral rather than financial "debt"; it may also cover "trespass". This is probably also true of variant words for "debt" occurring in other versions: #lucassë, #lucië, #luhta (all are attested with the ending - mmar to express "our debts/trespasses"). – VT43:19 DEBTOR #rocindo, #rucindo (isolated from rocindollomman, rucindollomman "from our debtors"). Used in one of the draft versions of Tolkien's Quenya version of the Lord's Prayer, the "debtors" denoted by this word may be sinners rather than simply people owing others money. Another version of the Prayer has #lucando or #lucindo as the word for "debtor" or "one who trespasses" (attested in the plural: lucandor, lucindor). –VT43:20 DECISION, see CONSIDERING A MATTER (with a view to decision) DECIMAL SYSTEM (in counting) maquanotië. Another source gives a word for "decimal system" as caistanótië, incorporating caista "10th", but since Tolkien later decided that the initial sound of words having to do with "10" should be qu- rather than c-, we must apparently read *quaistanótië. But maquanótië (a form requiring no changes) may be preferred. –VT47:10, VT48:11 DEED carda –PE17:51 DECLIVITY pendë (downslape, slope) – PEN DEEP núra, tumna (low-lying, low, profound, dark or hidden). DEEP POOL lón, lónë (pl. lóni given) (river-[?feeding] well), DEEP VALLEY tumbo (dark vale); DEEP VALE imbë (dell) (Note: imbë is also one form of the preposition "between"); DEEP SHADOW huinë (gloom). –NŪ, TUB, VT48:28, VT45:18, VT41:8 DEFORMED CREATURE ulundo (hideous creature, monster) –ÚLUG DELIVER (= *save) etelehta- (the alternative verb etrúna-, eterúna- was possibly abandoned by Tolkien; see FREE [verb]). – VT43:23, VT44:9 DELL imbë (deep vale) (Note: imbë is also the preposition "between"), nal, nallë (dale) –VT45:18, LT1:261 DEMAND can- (so when used with things as object, in effect = ask for; otherwise command, order) –PM:361-362 (where only a stem KAN is mentioned) DEMON rauco (pl. #raucar, isolated from Valaraukar (Valaraucar) "Balrogs". LT1:250 gives araukë; WJ:415 has rauco and arauco, defined as "a powerful, hostile, and terrible creature".)

Helge K. Fauskanger http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/ DENY lala- –LA (Note: a homophone means "laugh", but the past tense forms may differ. See LAUGH.) DEPART #av- (cited in the form avin "he departs", read "I depart" in LotR-style Quenya), pa.t. ambë. Also vanya- (pa.t. vannë). (The latter verb Tolkien may have been abandoned in favour of auta-; see PASS.) Lendë pa.t. of lelya/lenna "go" is also glossed as "departed". DEPARTED (adj) vanwa (gone, vanished, lost, past, no longer to be had, dead) –QL:33, WAN, LED cf. VT45:27, WJ:366, Nam DEPRIVE OF LIBERTY avalerya- (bind, make fast, restrain) –VT41:5, 6 DEPRIVED #racina (only pl. racinë is attested) (stripped); DEPRIVED OF úna (destitute, forlorn); DEPRIVED SIGN #racina tengwë (only pl. racinë tengwi is attested). Also translated "stripped sign", this was in early Elvish analysis of Quenya the term for a consonant with no following vowel; the vowel was held to have disappeared or been omitted. –VT39:16, 14 DESCENDANT indyo (grandchild) (Indyo looks like Vanyarin Quenya; the combination ndy became ny in Noldorin Quenya. The Noldor likely used the form *inyo.) MALE DESCENDANT yondo (son) (In LT2:344, it is said that yondo usually meant "(great) grandson", but in LotR-style Quenya it simply means "son".) –ÑGYO(N) DESERT erumë (cf. Eruman a desert north-east of Valinor, though Eruman is used in an entirely different way elsewhere; see HEAVENS.) –ERE DESERTED erda (solitary) –LT1:269 DESIRE (vb) #mer- (cited in the form merë, evidently the 3rd person aorist; pa.t. given as mernë) (want, wish). The stem YES yields a word yesta- "desire" (which may however be confused with yesta “beginning”). DESIRE (noun) írë, náma (= "a desire" or "a judgement"), námië (= "a (single) desire" or "a (single) judgement"), milmë (greed). (Note: írë also means "when".) See SEXUAL DESIRE for a term that possibly has this meaning. DESIREABLE írima (loveable), DESIRER Irmo (name of a Vala). DESIRING TO START mína (eager to go), also verb DESIRE TO GO IN SOME DIRECTION mína- (to wish to go to a place, make for it, have some end in view). – MER, ID, VT41:13, MIL-IK, YES/VT46:23, WJ:403, VT39:11 DESPISE #nattir- –VT44:8 DESTINE martya-; DESTINY maranwë – MBARAT DESTITUTE úna (deprived of, forlorn); DESTITUTE OF ú (usually followed by genitive: ú calo *"destitute of light [cala]") (without). – VT39:14 DETERMINANT VOWEL sundóma (lit. *"base-vowel, root-vowel". Christopher Tolkien notes: "Very briefly indeed, the Quendian consonantal base or sundo was characterized by a 'determinant vowel' or sundóma: thus the sundo KAT has a medial sundóma 'A', and TALAT has the sundóma repeated. In derivative forms the sundóma might be placed before the first consonant, e.g. ATALAT.") –WJ:319 DEVICE tanwë (craft, thing made, construction); SKILLFUL [?DEVICE – Tolkien's handwriting was illegible] curo (curu-) –TAN, VT41:10 DEVISE auta- (originate, invent) –GAWA DEW rossë (fine rain, spray), rin. DEWY nítë (stem *níti-) (moist) –ROS/Letters:282, LT1:265, NEI DEXTER forya (right), DEXTEROUS formaitë (right-handed) –VT46:10, PHOR DIACRITIC tehta (mark [in writing], sign) (In LotR:1155, the word is applied to the supralinear vowel-marks of Fëanorian writing, and pl. tehtar is attested.) –TEK, LotR:1155 DIALECT – Tolkien notes that the word lambë "tongue" was originally "nearer to our 'dialect' than to 'language', but later when the Eldar became aware of other tongues, not intelligible without study, lambe naturally became applied to the separate languages of any people or region" (WJ:394). Thus, lambë can hardly be used for "dialect" in Exilic Quenya. Cf. also VT39:15, where lambë is said to mean "the language or dialect of a particular or people". DICTUM eques (pl. equessi) (proverbial dictum, quotation, saying) –WJ:392 DIE fir- (fade) –MC:223, VT43:34 DIFFICULT hranga (hard; stiff, awkward). Note: hranga- is also a verb “thwart”. – PE17:154, 185 DIG sapa- or sap-, pa.t. sampë – PE16:145% DIGIT: For a common term for "finger" and "toe", see TIP. DIPHTHONG ocamna; in the source providing this word Tolkien rejected his earlier form osamnar (pl.); compare the Etymologies form #samna (only pl samnar is attested. Distinct in Tengwar spelling from samna "wooden post", that is spelt with initial súlë instead of silmë). Another word for "dipthong" is given as ohlon (pl. ohloni is attested); the latter term was used of vocalic diphthongs and Wordlist last updated July 5th, 2008 21 Presented by http://www.ambar-eldaron.com
