LASTING vórë (adj.?), also vórëa
(continuous, enduring); LASTING QUALITY
voronwië (endurance) –VT45:7, BORÓN
LATE telwa (last) –LT1:267
LAUGH lala- –PM:359 cf. 343. (Note: a
homophone means "deny".) Past tense perhaps
*landë, given the derivation stated (whereas lala
"deny" might have the past tense *lalanë or
*lallë).
LAW sanyë (Þ) (rule), axan (rule,
commandment, as proceeding primarily from
Eru; pl. axani is attested); LAW-ABIDING sanya
(Þ) (normal, regular) (variant vorosanya with a
prefixed element meaning "ever"). –STAN,
WJ:399, VT39:30, 23, VT46:16
LAWN palis (sward) –LT1:264
LAY lirilla (song) –LT1:258
LEAD tulya- (+ allative: lead into). Another
form of similar meaning, mittanya-, was possibly
abandoned by Tolkien. –VT43:22
LEAD (the metal) canu, LEADEN canuva
–LT1:268
LEAF lassë (pl. lassi is attested); HAVING
MANY LEAVES lillassëa (pl lillassië is
attested); COLLECTION OF LEAVES olassië
(foliage); PUT FORTH LEAVES OR FLOWERS
*lohta- (altered from the actual reading lokta
because Tolkien later decided that kt became ht
in Quenya) (sprout). LEAF-SHAPED
lassecanta; LEAF-FALL lasselanta (autumn or
the beginning of winter; see also FADING);
LEAF-GREY lassemista –LAS 1 , Nam, VT39:9,
LT1:254, MC:222, 223, Letters:282, LT1:258,
KAT, LotR:505 cf. Letters:224
LEAGUE lár (basic meaning "pause" – in
marches a brief halt was made for each league).
A lár was defined as five thousand rangar; see
YARD. A ranga was approximately 38 inches, so
a lár was "5277 yards, two feet and four inches
[ca. 4826 meters], supposing the equivalence to
be exact" – close enough to our league of 5280
yards to justify this translation. –UT:285
LEANING talta (sloping, tilted) –TALÁT
LEAP cap- (jump); halta-; LEAPING
(noun) haloitë (pl. haloisi is attested) –
PE16:134, LT1:254
LEARN #par- (acquire information, not by
experience or observation, but by
communication, by the instruction, or by written
accounts, of others). Paranyë (apárien)
parmanen, “I am learning (have learnt) by
means of a book” –PE17:180
LEARNED istima (wise, having
knowledge), nóla (wise). (In Etym, the latter
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.
Cf. also the spelling of the related word nólë in
Silm:432. But if this word is written in Tengwar,
the initial n should be transcribed with the letter
noldo, not númen.) LEARNED MAN istyar
(scholar) –IS, ÑGOL
LEATHER (dressed leather) alu –QL:30
LEAVE (vb) auta- (go away, pass), pa.t.
oantë, oantië (in the physical sense "went away
[to another place]") or vánë ("the most frequently
used past [tense]" – less "physical" than oantë,
meaning "disappeared" rather than "went
away"), perf. avánië (pl avánier is attested);
perf. vánië with no augment may occur in verse.
For "leave", Etym also has lesta, pa.t. lendë;
this is also the past tense of "go". The stem from
which lesta- is derived was "replaced" by
another. Lesta has a wholly different meaning in
later writings; see GIRDLE, MEASURE. LEAVE
OUT hehta- (pa.t. hehtanë is given but seems
perfectly regular) (put aside, exclude, abandon,
forsake) –WJ:366, ELED
LEAVE (noun) – with leave of: lenémë (+
genitive)
LEFT hyarya; LEFT HAND hyarma,
LEFT-HANDED hyarmaitë (stem *hyarmaiti-) –
KHYAR, VT47:6
LEG telco (pl. telqui) (stem) –TELÉK
LEGENDARIUM OF THE FATHERS OF
MEN Atanatárion (lit. simply "of the Fathers of
Men") –MR:373
LEGOLAS Laiqualassë –LT1:267
LEMBAS coimas (life-bread) (prob.
coimast[a]-, cf. masta "bread") (life-bread) –
Silm:406/429
LENGTHENED taina (extended,
stretched, elongated); LENGTHENING tailë
(extension) –TAY cf. VT39:7
LESS mis (adverb); suffix –LESS –lóra (=
"without"; this –lóra is a suffix used to derive
adjectives; Tolkien gave the example ómalóra
"voiceless"). The earlier "Qenya" suffix –viltë, –
valta of similar meaning may not be valid in
LotR-style Quenya. –PE14:80, VT45:28, GL:23
LESSEN píca (part. #pícala is attested)
(dwindle) –MC:223, 222
LET (see ALLOW); LET GO lerya
(release, set free), LET GO or LET LOOSE sen-
(to free). LET IT BE THAT nái (in Namárië: nai;
the editor conjectures that nái is an etymological
form, VT49:36). –VT41:5, 6; VT43:18, VT49:28
LETTER tengwa (pl. tengwar is attested;
this word was used primarily of the Fëanorian
letters. However, the term "Tengwar of Rúmil"
occurring in LotR:1151 seems to indicate that the
word tengwa can indeed be used of a letter of
