FORT arta (fortress) (Note: arta also
means "across, athwart" as well as "exalted,
lofty".) –GARAT (see 3AR)
FORTH et- (prefix) (out). Also attested
with various pronominal suffixes, e.g. etel or
etelyë *”out of you”. GO FORTH TOWARDS
tenta-, pa.t. tentanë (with the thing approached
as direct object). –ET, VT49:12, 23
FORTRESS arta (fort) (Note: arta also
means "across, athwart") –GARAT (see 3AR)
FORTUNE (good fortune) alma (weal,
wealth); mandë, manar (final end, doom, fate);
heren (governance, what is in store for one or
what one has in store); marto (fate, lot);
FORTUNATE herenya (wealthy, blessed, rich),
GOOD OR FORTUNATE THING mána (see
BOON). –GALA, MAN/MANAD, KHER, LT2:348,
VT49:41
FORWARD póna, ompa –VT49:12
FOUL saura (Þ) (evil-smelling, putrid); in
compounds sauri- as in FOULBELLIED
sauricumba. The latter form may indicate that
this adjective also appears in an alternative form
*saurë, sauri-. –THUS, SD:68, 72
FOUNDATION talma (base, root) –TAL
FOUNTAIN ehtelë (issue of water,
spring).The actual reading in LT1 and LT2 is
ektelë, but Tolkien later decided that kt became
ht in Quenya. The new form of the word is
attested in Silm. LT also gives the form kektelë,
that would likewise become *cehtelë.) –LT1:257,
LT2:338
FOUR canta, (prefix:) can- For the syntax
of numerals, see THREE. –KANÁT, VT45:18,
VT48:6
FOURTEEN ?canaquë –VT48:21 (the
form listed, "kanakwe", seems to be Common
Eldarin; the Quenya form could be either
*canaquë or *canquë). The form quaican
seems to be another, possibly experimental,
word for "14" in Quenya. For the syntax of
numerals, see THREE.
FOURTH cantëa; FOURTH FINGER (the
digit between the long finger and the little finger)
lepecan, lepentë, in children's play also called
nettë (prob. netti-), "sister", a word also used for
the fourth toe, or in two-hand play for the ninth
digit. The word selyë "daughter" was also
introduced as a name for the fourth finger/toe in
childrens play (VT47:10), but Tolkien apparently
abandoned it (VT47:15). Fraction ONE FOURTH
canasta, casta, cansat. –VT42:25, VT47:10-12,
15, VT48:5
FOWL (barn fowl) porocë (hen) –
PE16:132
FOX rusco (stem ruscu-, pl. rusqui);
FOXY ruscuitë –PM:353, VT41:10
FREE (adj.) léra, aranya (not to be
confused with aranya *"my king"; the shorter
form ranya also cited must not be confused with
the verb "stray, wander"), mirima (of a person,
as opposed to:) latin, latina (open, cleared [of
land]), lerina ("free" of things in the sense of "not
guarded, reserved, made fast, or 'owned'",
VT41:5), Cf. also lehta "free, released". FREE
ELEMENT (a term for "vowel") #lehta tengwë
(only pl. lehta tengwi is attested; we would
rather expect *lehtë tengwi). (A word fairë "free"
is mentioned in LT1:250, but may be obsolete:
several other meanings are attributed to this
word in later writings [see DEATH, PHANTOM,
RADIANCE]. However, fairië "freedom" does not
clash with later words.) FREE FROM EVIL aman
(see BLESSED) –VT41:5, VT46:10, MIS, LAT,
VT39:17, WJ:399
FREE (verb) rúna- (see DELIVER); SET
FREE lerya- (release, let go), sen- (let go, let
loose) –VT43:23, VT41:5, 6, VT43:18
FREEZE niquë- ("it is cold, it freezes").
LT1:254 gives hilcin "it freezes", but in LotRstyle
Quenya this will have to mean, if anything,
"I freeze" (1st pers. aorist). –WJ:417, LT1:254
FREQUENT rimba –RIM
FRESH venya, archaic wenya (yellowgreen,
green), virya, céva (new). FRESHNESS
vén, wén (youth, greenness) –GWEN, VT46:22,
VT48:7,8
FRESHET celussë (water falling out
swiftly from a rocky spring) –UT:42 6
FRIEND meldo (pl meldor is attested).
MY FRIEND meldonya (VT49:40). Apparently
meldo is a masculine form, corresponding to
feminine #meldë (cf. meldenya *"my friend" in
the Elaine inscription, Tolkien here referring to
Elaine Griffiths). Other words for "friend": nildo
(m.), nildë (f.), sermo, seron (m.), sermë (f.),
málo (m.?), -ser (final element in compounds), –
(n)dil (final element in compounds, e.g. Elendil,
Anardil, Valandil – sometimes translated "lover"
rather than "friend". When the first part of the
compound ends in l, n, or r, the n of -ndil is left
out).The final element -ndil also appears in the
variant form -nil and with the longer forms -
nildo, -dildo (VT46:4). FRIENDLY nilda (lovely),
FRIENDSHIP nilmë –WJ:412 cf. VT45:34, NIL,
SER, MEL, Letters:386
FROG quácë –VT47:36
FROM: Independent Quenya prepositons
for "from" include ho and va, var. However,
English "from" will often be rendered using the
ablative case, endings -llo, pl -llon or -llor, dual
