English – Quenya - Ambar Eldaron

Helge K. Fauskanger http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/
– The word ambar, usually translated "world", is
also associated with "home, dwelling" in one
source. –Silm:408, 428, VT46:13
HOMESTEAD osta –LT2:336
HONEY lis (liss-). In a far earlier source,
reproduced in LT1:262, the word for "honey" was
nektë. This would however become nehtë in
LotR-style Quenya, since Tolkien later decided
that kt becomes ht in Quenya, and in its new
form nehtë the word turns up in the Etymologies
with the slightly modified meaning "honeycomb".
(Note: a homophone means "spear-head, gore,
wedge, narrow promontory".) HONEY-BEE nier,
nion –LIS, LT1:262, VT45:38, GL:60
HOOD telmë (covering) –TEL
HOOK ampa, atsa (claw, catch);
HOOKED rempa (crooked) –
LotR:1157/VT47:20, GAT, REP
HOPE (noun) estel –WJ:318 (where it is
stated that this word was used in Quenya as well
as in Sindarin. Here the word is defined as
"'hope', sc. a temper of mind, steady, fixed in
purpose, and difficult to dissuade and unlikely to
fall into despair or abandon its purpose". In
MR:320, estel is translated "trust".)
HORDE horma (host) –LT2:341
HORN rassë, rasco ("especially on living
animal, but also applied to mountains". Cf.
Rasmund "horned bull" in Letters:423 [this
seems like Sindarin rather than Quenya] and
Arfanyaras, Arfanyarassë "high white-shining
peak [*horn]", alternative name of Taniquetil),
romba (so in Etym and one place in WJ [p. 400:
romba = "horn, trumpet"] but on p. 368 róma is
used for "horn", though this is glossed "trumpetsound"
in Etym), HORN OF ULMO hyalma
(shell, conch), tildë (point), (horn of animal:)
tarca (probably obsoleting taru in LT2);
HORNED tarucca (perhaps obsoleted together
with taru), THE HORNED Tilion (a name of the
Moon) –RAS/VT46:10, WJ:403/416,
ROM/WJ:401 contrast 368, SYAL, TIL, TARÁK,
LT2:337,347, Silm:438
HORRIBLE norta –VT46:4
HORROR norto (glossed "a horror").The
verb rucin is glossed "I feel fear or horror" (1st
pers. aorist), constructed with "from" of the
object feared (e.g. *rucin Orcollon "I fear Orcs")
–VT46:4, WJ:415
HORSE rocco (defined as "swift horse for
riding" in Letters:382, "swift horse" in VT46:12),
olombo (but since Tolkien subsequently
changed the relevant stem from LOB to LOP, we
should perhaps read *olompo, compare lopo in
an earlier source), mairo; HORSEMAN roquen
(rider, knight) –ROK/Letters:282, 382, VT45:28,
PE16:132, GL:56, WJ:372/UT:282
HOST rimbë (crowd), horma (horde),
liyúmë –RIM/Letters:178, 382, LT2:341,
VT48:32
HOSTILE cotya –KOT
HOT saiwa; BLAZING HOT úrin (Úrin is
also a name of the Sun) –LT1:248/265, LT1:271
HOUND huan (hún-); HOUND OF CHASE
ronyo –KHUG (see KHUGAN), ROY
HOUR lúmë (so translated in LotR and in
VT43:34; in Etym the gloss is simply "time".
Allative lúmenna is attested. Note: lúmë also
means "darkness".) THIS HOUR #sillumë
(isolated from the ablative sillumello “from this
hour”) –LU, LotR:94, WJ:367, VT44:35
HOUSE coa (prob. the most neutral word),
opelë (walled house), car (card-) (building),
nossë (clan, family, kin, people) (LT2:336 gives
indo "house" and os(t) "house and cottage";
these words are probably obsolete – in Tolkien's
later Quenya indo means "heart", while osto
means "city". The term indor "master of house"
can hardly be valid either.) LIGHT OF THE
HOUSE coacalina (a metaphor for the soul [fëa]
dwelling inside the body [hroa]) –
WJ:369/MR:250/VT47:35, PEL(ES), KAR,
NŌ/LT1:250, 343, MR:250
HOW manen –PM:395
HUE quilë (colour) –QL:77%
HUGE haura –PE17:115
HUMAN firya (lit. *"mortal"; nominal pl.
Firyar is attested) –PHIR, WJ:219
HUMBLED nucumna –SD:246
HUMP tumpo (stem *tumpu-),
HUMPBACK cauco, HUMPED cauca (bent,
crooked) –TUMPU, LT1:257
HUNGRY maita –VT39:11
HUNT (noun), HUNTING roimë (the
misreading "raime" occurs in the Etymologies as
printed in LR; see VT46:12 for this correction).
No verb "to hunt" is given in Etym, but roita-
"pursue" is derived from the same stem and can
probably be translated *"hunt" as well. LT1:260
has rauta- "hunt". –ROY 1
HURL, see FLING%
HURT (vb) mala- (pain) –QL:63
HUSBAND venno (the published
Etymologies gives "verno", but according to
VT45:7, this is a misreading of Tolkien's original
manuscript); HUSBAND AND WIFE veru
(married pair – but in a late source, veru is also
used for “husband” alone, the counterpart of veri
“wife”) –BES, VT49:45
HUSH quildë (rest, quiet) –GL:23
