English – Quenya - Ambar Eldaron

Helge K. Fauskanger http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/
ADULT (adj) vëa (manly, vigorous);
ADULT MAN vëaner; ADULT MALE nér (ner-,
as in. pl neri) (man) –WEG, DER
ADÛNAKHOR Herunúmen –UT:222,
Silm:322
AEGNOR Aicanáro (so in Silm:435 and
PM:345; MR:323 has Aicanár) (Sharp Flame,
Fell Fire)
AFFECT #ap- (given as aorist stem apë)
(to concern, to touch one) –VT44:26
AFFECTIONATE méla (loving) –VT39:10
AFFLICTED – be afflicted: moia- (labour).
The participle *moiala may then be used to
translate "afflicted" as an adjective, describing
one who is "labouring" or toiling as a thrall. –
VT43:31
AFTER apa (also attested in compounds
like Apanónar, see below), #ep- (used in
compounds when the second part of the
compound begins with a vowel, only attested in
epessë "after-name" – see NICKNAME.) This
ep- is a shorter form of epë, which means
“before” of spatial relationships but “after” of time
(since the Eldar imagined time coming after their
present as being before them, VT49:12); apa
and epë may be seen as variants of the same
word. Other variant forms of apa "after" include
opo and pó/po (VT44:36, VT49:12). According
to VT44:26, the preposition apa may also appear
as pa, pá (cf. yéni pa yéni "years after years" in
VT44:35), but pa/pá is in other manuscripts
defined as "touching, as regards, concerning".
THE AFTER-BORN Apanónar (sg #Apanóna)
(i.e., an Elvish name of Men, according to
WJ:387 "a word of lore, not used in daily
speech") –Silm:122/WJ:387, UT:266
AGAIN ata; AGAIN (prefix) en-, (prefix) at-
, ata- (back-, re-) (AT[AT])
AGAINST: According to VT44:26, Tolkien
in some documents glosses apa or pá as
"touching, against", but apa is normally the
preposition "after" instead (see AFTER). The
allative case in -nna is normally sufficient to
express motion towards or against something.
Possibly this ending can also take on the
meaning of “against” with connotations of enmity
and confrontation, as when the pl. allative
valannar is used in the phrase *“made war
on/against the Valar” (LR:47).%
AGE randa (cycle) (as in “the Third Age”;
not the age of a person); AGES OF AGES
yénion yéni –RAD, VT44:36
AGENT tyaro (actor, doer) –KAR
AGILE tyelca (swift) –KYELEK
AGO yá; LONG AGO andanéya, anda né
(once upon a time) –YA, VT49:31
AGONY qualmë (death), unqualë (death;
according to VT45:24, Tolkien changed this word
to anqualë) –KWAL, VT45:5, 24, 36
AH (interj.) ai (alas) Ai! laurië lantar lassi
Ah! golden fall the leaves (Nam)
AIR vista (= air as substance); vilya older
[MET] wilya (sky); vilma (lower air) (perhaps
changed to vista, but vilma was not struck out in
Etym); lindë (tune, song, singing); PUFF OF AIR
hwesta (breeze, breath); UPPER AIRS AND
CLOUDS fanyarë (skies), AIRY vilin (breezy) –
WIS, WIL/LT1:273, LIN, SWES/LotR:1157,
MC:223, LT1:273
ALAS (interj.) ai (ah) (Etym also gives a
word nai, but this clashes with nai "be it that" in
Namárië.); also orro or horro as an
"exclamation of horror, pain, disgust: ugh, alas!
ow!" –Nam/RGEO:66, NAY, VT45:17
ALIKE véla –VT49:10
ALIVE cuina; BEING ALIVE (noun not adj)
cuilë (life) (LT1:257 gives coina, coirëa; see
LIVING) –KUY
ALL illi (as independent noun), also ilya
(all of a particular group of things, the whole,
each, every) (Note: ilya normally appears as ilyë
before a plural noun: ilyë tier "abll paths");
ALLNESS, THE ALL ilúvë (the whole).
According to early material, ALL THE... (followed
by some noun) is rendered by i quanda, e.g. *i
quanda cemen "all the earth; the whole earth".
ALL THAT IS WANTED fárë, farmë (plenitude,
sufficiency) –VT47:30, VT39:20, VT44:9, IL,
Nam cf. RGEO:67, Silm:433/WJ:402, QL:70,
PHAR/VT46:9
ALLOW lav- (yield, grant); NOT ALLOW
TO CONTINUE nuhta- (stunt, prevent from
coming to completion, stop short) –DAB, WJ:413
ALONE (see also LONELY, SOLE) er
(one, alone, only, but, still), eressë (singly, only,
also as noun: solitude) –ERE, LT1:269
ALPHABET tengwanda –TEK
ALSO yando –QL:104
ALTHOUGH (or "nothwithstanding") –
Christopher Gilson argues that the word ómu
occurring in an untranslated "Qenya" text could
have this meaning (PE15:32, 37). If this
interpretation is regarded as too uncertain, the
idea expressed by phrases involving "(al)though"
may be rephrased using ananta "and yet" (e.g.
"although the house is small, we love it" > *i coa
pitya ná, ananta melilmes = "the house is
small, and yet we love it").%
ALWAYS illumë (earlier variants of the
relevant text also have vora and vorë, forms
Tolkien may or may not have abandoned) –
VT44:9
