DIRECT TOWARD (or “be directed<br />

toward”) tenta, pa.t. tentanë (perhaps in the<br />

sense “directed toward”, transitive, attested in<br />

the phrase tentanë numenna “pointed<br />

westward”), also tenantë (perhaps in the sense<br />

“was directed toward”, intransitive). Used<br />

transitively, the verb can also mean “go forth<br />

object). <strong>–</strong>VT49:23<br />

apantë) (reveal), (noun) apantië <strong>–</strong>QL:34<br />

DISTRIBUTE IN EVEN PORTIONS etsat-,<br />

estat- (cited without a final hyphen in the source,<br />

but this would seem to be a verb, and<br />

presumably <strong>Quenya</strong>). <strong>–</strong>VT48:11<br />

DIVIDE IN MIDDLE perya- (halve) (After<br />

perya-, a word perina is mentioned; it is<br />

undefined but must be the corresponding past<br />

participle: *"divided in middle, halved".) <strong>–</strong>PER<br />

DIVINE valaina (= "of or belonging to the<br />

Valar", probably not to be used with reference to<br />

the One who is above them), Eruva (adj.<br />

referring to the divinity of Eru himself), DIVINITY<br />

other equal parts; asta is often used = "month"<br />

as a division of the year). <strong>–</strong>VT48:11<br />

DO #car- (make, build; see MAKE for<br />

various attested forms of this verb); NOT DO<br />

#um- (cited in the form umin "I do not", 1st pers.<br />

aorist; also short uin) (pa.t. úmë, not to be<br />

confused with a noun meaning "collection,<br />

crowd"). This verb is also used = "not be", see<br />

BE concerning this and other verbs for “not do,<br />

not be”. DO NOT! (imperative) vá! (also = I will<br />

not); DON'T áva, avá, alalyë (the last form<br />

incorporates the ending -lyë "thou", hence "do<br />

not thou [do something]"). DON'T DO IT! áva<br />

carë! SET VIGOROUSLY OUT TO DO horya-<br />

(be compelled to do something, have an<br />

impulse) DO BACK ahtar- or accar- (react;<br />

requite, avenge) <strong>–</strong>KAR, UGU/UMU, WJ:371,<br />

KOR<br />

DON'T áva, avá; DON'T DO IT! áva carë!<br />

<strong>–</strong>WJ:371<br />

DOOM manar, mandë (final end, fate,<br />

fortune, final bliss); umbar- (umbart-) (fate). See<br />

below concerning *anan in Rithil-Anamo. In the<br />

story of Túrin Turambar, it seems that ambar<br />

means "doom": Turambar is said to mean<br />

"Master of Doom", and Nienor even uses the<br />

word in the instrumental case: ambartanen "by<br />

doom". Similarly, LT2:348 gives ambar "Fate".<br />

But in Etym, ambar means "earth", and LotR<br />

Appendix E confirms that "fate" is umbar.<br />

DOOM RING Máhanaxar (a foreign word in<br />

<strong>Quenya</strong>, adopted and adapted from Valarin, also<br />

translated as:) Rithil-Anamo "Ring of Doom",<br />

name of the place where judgement was passed<br />

in Valinor (hence Anamo as genitive "of Doom",<br />

nominative probably *anan with stem anam-,<br />

otherwise but less likely *anama <strong>–</strong> this seems to<br />

be "doom" in the sense of judgement or juridical<br />

justice, since the root is NAM as in nam- "to<br />

judge"). <strong>–</strong>MAN/MANAD, MBARAT/VT45:5,<br />

Silm:261, 269, LotR:1157, WJ:399, WJ:401<br />

DOOR, see GATE; *DOOR OF NIGHT:<br />

the translation Ando Lómen is given in VT45:28<br />

(citing a deleted entry in the Etymologies). Since<br />

Tolkien later decided that the genitive ending<br />

should be -o rather than -n, and moreover<br />

equipped lómë "night" with the stem-form lómi-,<br />

we should perhaps read *Ando Lómio.<br />

DORIATH #Lestanórë (only gen.<br />

Lestanórëo is attested) <strong>–</strong>WJ:369<br />

DORLÓMIN Lóminórë <strong>–</strong>WJ:145<br />

DOT pica (small spot), tixë (tiny mark,<br />

point), amatixë (point over the line of writing;<br />

variant amatexë in VT46:19), unutixë (point<br />

under the line of writing; the initial element unu-<br />

was misread as "nun-" in the Etymologies as<br />

printed in LR, see VT46:19) <strong>–</strong>PIK, TIK/VT46:19<br />
