used = riches), larma (the latter possibly "pigfat";<br />

the first part of the gloss is not certainly<br />

legible in Tolkien's manuscript. Another gloss of<br />

larma is "flesh"; in a later source a similar word<br />

is used for “raiment”.) <strong>–</strong>TIW, VT45:26<br />

FATE umbar (umbart-) (doom; the form<br />

amarto in LT2:348 could be obsolete, but ambar<br />

from the same source may be a valid word also<br />

in LotR-style <strong>Quenya</strong> <strong>–</strong> see DOOM), marto<br />

(fortune, lot); manar, mandë (doom, final end,<br />

fortune [usually = final bliss]); FATED marta<br />

(which adjective also seems to be the noun<br />

"fate" in later sources; see VT45:33, VT46:13).<br />

FATHER atar (pl. atari in Etym, though<br />

the pl. form #atári occurs as part of the<br />

compound Atanatári). Dative ataren is attested<br />

(VT43:36-37). Forms like atar, atarinya ("my<br />

father") as well as atya "daddy" are said to be<br />

forms a child would use in addressing his or her<br />

father (VT47:26; see DADDY). In VT48:19, atya<br />

is explained as a contraction of at-nya "my<br />

father". The final version of the Lord's Prayer<br />

(VT43:12, 13) has #Átar with a long initial vowel<br />

(Átaremma "our father"); this #Átar may<br />

incorporate the vocative particle a (*a Atar "o<br />

Father" > #Átar). FATHER OF ALL Ilúvatar<br />

(God). <strong>–</strong>Silm:428, 229/ATA/LT1:255, VT44:16,<br />

is hardly a valid word in LotR-style <strong>Quenya</strong>.) <strong>–</strong><br />

LotR:1144<br />

FEEL: The noun felmë "emotion" (q.v.) or<br />

*"feeling" may suggest a verbal stem #fel-<br />

(compare melmë vs. mel-, "love" as noun and<br />

verb). This #fel- could then mean "to feel" in the<br />

general sense of "have an emotion". Other<br />

senses, see below.<br />

source as rucin, 1st pers. aorist), constructed<br />

Realm). <strong>–</strong>PEL(ES), WJ:403<br />

FESTIVAL asar (Vanyarin athar) (fixed<br />

FIERY uruitë, úruva (The stem from<br />

which these words are derived was struck out in<br />

Etym. However, several words that must be<br />

derived from this stem occur in LotR, indicating<br />

that Tolkien restored it. LT1:248 also gives sára<br />

"fiery", but this word is probably obsoleted by<br />

sára "bitter" in Etym.) <strong>–</strong>UR<br />

FIFTEEN lepenquë <strong>–</strong>VT48:21 (the form<br />

quailepen seems to be another, possibly<br />

experimental, word for "15" in <strong>Quenya</strong>). For the<br />
