Helge K. Fauskanger http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/ what is) Námo (but this is elsewhere glossed "Ordainer", and the ending -o normally does indicate something animate/masculine rather than something abstract). –VT41:13, MR:150 JUICE sáva, pirya (syrup) –SAB, PIS JULY Cermië –LotR:1144 JUNE Nárië –LotR:1144 JUMP cap- (pa.t. campë) (leap) –QL:45 cf. PE16:134 JUPITER Alcarinquë (Basic Quenya:24, cf. Silm:55. According to LT1:260, Morwen KEEN laica (the printed Etymologies has a final –e instead of –a, but this is a misreading; see VT45:25) (sharp, acute, *piercing); KEENNESS (of perception) laicë (acuteness). The conceptual validity of these words is questionable; see PIERCING. –LAIK KEEPING (safe keeping) mando (custody) –MR:350 KHAZAD-DÛM Casarrondo (Dwarrowvault) –WJ:389 KILL, see SLAY KIN nossë (house, people). DEAR KINSMAN, see DEAR. –LT1:250, 272/LT2:338 KIND nostalë (species) –LT1:272 KINDLE tinta- (cause to sparkle), narta-; in older [TLT] materiel also turu-, tunda- (Note: there is a homophone meaning "tall") –Silm:438, VT45:37, LT1:270 KINDLY asëa (Þ) (beneficial, helpful) (so according to a late note where the word is derived from *ATHAYA). Also (as noun) used as the name of the healing plant called in Sindarin athelas. KING aran (pl arani is attested) In Etym, the Quenya word for "king, chieftain" is haran pl. harni, but evidence from LotR, WJ and UT shows that Tolkien changed it to aran pl arani. Cf. asëa aranion "kingsfoil", i arani Eldaron "the Kings of the Eldar", Arandor "kingsland", aranya *"my king", arandil "king's friend, royalist", and arandur "king's servant, minister".) LT1:273 has vardar "king", but this is hardly a valid word in LotR-style Quenya. KINGLY BULL Aramund (this may not be pure Quenya, because of the final consonant cluster) –3AR, LotR:899, WJ:369, UT:165, 193, 313, Letters:386, 423 K (there translated "daughter of the dark") is a name of Jupiter, but this may not be a valid word in Tolkien's later Quenya. LT1:265 also mentions Silindo as a name of this planet. JUST faila (fair-minded, generous) – PM:352 KINGDOM #aranië (attested with the suffix –lya "thy" added). Earlier versions of the text in question had other forms: #turinasta, #turindië (both also occurring with a long ú). – VT43:12, 15 KINGSFISHER halatirno, halatir (halatirn-) (lit. "fishwatcher") –SKAL 2 , TIR KINGSFOIL (athelas, a healing plant) asëa aranion –LotR:899 KISS (vb.) miqu- "to kiss", pa.t. minquë (not to be confused with the cardinal minquë "eleven"). (QL:61). Noun A KISS miquë (QL:61). KNEE occa –QL:70 KNIGHT roquen (rider, horseman) – UT:282 cf. WJ:372 KNOB tolma (defined as "protuberance contrieved to serve a purpose, knob, short rounded handle", etc.), tolos (lump) –VT47:28, LT1:269 KNOCK #pet- (strike), pa.t. pentë given. The verb is cited as "pete", perhaps with a suffixed stem-vowel. KNOCK (keep on knocking) tamba- –QL:73, TAM KNOLL nóla –NDOL KNOT narda, nútë (bond). Pl. perhaps *núter not *núti; cf. the similar formation tyávë "taste", pl tyáver. –SNAR, NU KNOW ista (pa.t. sintë, also isintë; according to VT48:25 the pa.t. is "certainly irreg."), KNOW ABOUT hanya- (understand, be skilled in dealing with), KNOWLEDGE handë (understanding), ista, istya, issë (lore), nólë (long study, lore, wisdom). (In Etym this word is spelt with initial ñ, that is, ng. Initial ng had become n in Third Age Quenya, and I follow the system of LotR and transcribe it accordingly. Nólë is so spelt also in Silm:432. But if this word Wordlist last updated July 5th, 2008 46 Presented by http://www.ambar-eldaron.com
Helge K. Fauskanger http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/ is written in Tengwar, the initial n should be transcribed with the letter noldo, not númen.) HAVING KNOWLEDGE istima (wise, learned) – IS, VT48:25, LT2:339; KHAN, ÑGOL, Silm:432 LABIALS parmatéma (p-series); LABIALIZED SERIES quessetéma –LotR:1154 LABERNUM Lindeloktë (singing cluster). (So in LT1:258, but Tolkien later decided that kt became ht in Quenya. Read *Lindelohtë?) – LT1:258 LABOUR (vb) móta- (toil), moia- (be afflicted) –MŌ, VT43:31 LACKING (adj.) penya (pl. penyë is attested) (inadequate). LACKING SIGN #penya tengwe (only pl. penyë tengwi is attested). This term, also translated "indadequate signs", was used in early Elvish analysis of Quenya as the term for vowels with no preceding consonant, held (in many cases incorrectly) to have lost such a consonant. –VT39:6, 8 LADY heri –KHER, LT1:272 (GL:45 has quimellë). A quite different word which Tolkien also translated "Lady" is massánië, literally "breadgiver", the title of the "Lady" or the highest among the elven-women of any people, she having the right to keep or give away lembas bread. See PM:404. LAKE ailin (pool) (LT2:339 also has ailo), ringwë (cold lake, pool [in mountains]). In the Etymologies as printed in LR, this word is cited as "ringe", but according to VT46:11, ringwë is the proper reading. –AY/LT2:339, RINGI/VT46:11 LAMENT (vb) naina- (also longer nainaina-), nyéna-; LAMENT (noun) nainië, nairë –NAY/VT45:37, LT1:262, RGEO:66 LAMP calma (light), calar – KAL/LotR:1157, VT47:13 LAND nórë (dwelling-place, race, country, region where certain people live, nation, native land, family), nór (meaning '"'land' as opposed to water or sea", WJ:413). In compounds #-ndor (when the first part of the compound end in a vowel, e.g. Valandor "Vala-land", alternative form of Valinor), or –nor, –dor (the latter can only occur when the first part of the compound ends in –l, –r, or –n; in other combinations d cannot occur in Noldorin Quenya). Another L K-SERIES calmatéma –LotR:1154 ending occurring in the names of lands is -sta (see VT43:15). Cf. also lóna (remote land difficult to reach, island. Note: a homophone means "dark"); WESTLAND Númenor, Númenórë (Westernesse); LAND OF GIFT (a name of Númenor) Andor (< *Annandor, see GIFT), LAND OF THE WEST Númendor, LAND OF THE VALAR Valinor, Valinórë. – NDOR/NŌ/Silm:430/ WJ:413, LONO, Silm:414, 313, 430, VT49:26 LANGUAGE quetil (tongue, talk), lambë (tongue). The latter was "the usual word, in nontechnical use, for 'language'." (WJ:394) Only the Loremasters used the technical term tengwesta "system or code of signs" instead; this word is also glossed "grammar". Notice that lambë is also used for "dialect" (VT39:15). LANGUAGE (as an abstract, the ability to speak or the "art" of making speech) tengwestië. LANGUAGE with especial reference to phonology: Lambelë. LANGUAGE OF THE VALAR Lambë Valarinwa (lit. *"Valarin language"), LANGUAGE OF THE ELDAR Eldarissa (the latter may not be a valid word in LotR-style Quenya), LANGUAGE OF THE HANDS mátengwië –KWET/VT45:25, WJ:394, 397, VT39:15, LT2:339, VT47:9 LARCH finë (stem *fini-) –SPIN (the word is also glossed "a single hair", PM:362) LARGE hoa (big), also alta, alat- (great in size) (Tolkien's definition of alta word was actually illegible, but see GREAT), úvëa (very large, abundant, in a very great number), úra (note: a homophone means "nasty, evil"; some would say these later glosses render the word úra = "large" obsolete.) –PE17:115, ÁLAT, UB, UR LARK lirulin (prob. *lirulind-, cf. lindo "singing bird") –MR:238/252, LIN 2 LAST (adj.) tella (hindmost), telda (final), métima (final, ultimate), telwa (late), LAST YEAR yenya; LAST DAY OF YEAR quantien, THE LAST-COMERS Teleri (the Hindmost) – TELES, WJ:411, MC:222 cf. 215, LT1:267, YEN, Silm:421 Wordlist last updated July 5th, 2008 47 Presented by http://www.ambar-eldaron.com
