ARRIVE: The verb ten- is used for this
meaning in one source (present tense téna “is
on point of arrival, is just coming to the end”).
Other attested forms are tenë (aorist; 1st person
tenin), pa.t. tennë “arrived, reached” (“usually
used with locative not allative”: tennen sís “I
arrive[d] here”), perfect eténië, future tenuva
“will arrive”. Tolkien subsequently changed ten-
to men-, but the latter is elsewhere ascribed the
meaning “go”. –VT49:23-24
ARROW pilin (pilind-, as in the pl. pilindi)
–PÍLIM
ART Carmë (making, production); BLACK
ARTS núlë (sorcery). (The word is spelt “ñúle” in
the source, reflecting the older pronunciation; in
Tengwar spelling the initial nasal should
therefore be represented by the letter Noldo). –

ARTIFICIAL CAVE hróta (dwelling
underground, rockhewn hall) –PM:365
AS (prep) ve (like). The longer variant sívë
appears to introduce a comparison with
something that is near to the point or thought of
the speaker, whereas tambë introduces a
comparison with something remote, as in
Tolkien's translation of one line from the Lord's
Prayer: cemendë tambë Erumandë "on earth
as in heaven" ("heaven" being remote – we may
theorize that "in heaven as [here] on earth"
would translate as *Erumandë sívë cemendë,
since "earth" would represent the position of the
speaker). NOTE: a homophone sívë means
"peace". The word yan, related to the relative ya
“which”, is also defined “as” in one text
(VT49:18). AS REGARDS pa, pá (concerning,
touching). AS USUAL ve senwa (also ve senya,
but see USUAL). –Nam/RGEO:66, 67, VT43:12,

ASGARD Valinor, Valinórë (Tolkien
actually uses this gloss of Valinor, as Asgard is
the City of the Gods in Norse mythology) –
LT1:272
ASIDE – stand aside! heca! – also with
pronominal affixes: sg hecat, pl hecal "you stay
aside!" (be gone!) LEAVING ASIDE hequa (not
counting, excluding, except) –WJ:364, 365
*ASK #maquet- (only pa.t. maquentë is
attested. The word is not translated, but
undoubtedly means "asked": 'Mana i·coimas
in·Eldaron?' maquentë Elendil [PM:403]. The
question itself is translated "What is the coimas
of the Eldar?", so the rest must be "Elendil
asked". Furthermore, maquentë is transparently
quentë "said" with the interrogative element ma
[PM:357] prefixed.) ASK FOR – see DEMAND.

AT sé, se (the form with a long vowel may
be preferred since se is apparently also a 3rd
person pronoun) (in). The locative case may also
express “at”, e.g. lúmissen “at the times”. –

AUGUST Urimë (so in LotR; UT has
Úrimë) –LotR:1144, UT:302/470
AUTHORITY Máhan (pl Máhani is given,
but seems perfectly regular). Tolkien once stated
that Valar should strictly be translated "the
Authorities" (MR:350), but Vala obviously cannot
be used to translate "authority" in general; it was
used only of the Valar themselves (WJ:404). Cf.
also adj. valya "having (divine) authority or
power". Máhani was adopted from Valarin and
originally probably referred to the Valar
themselves. We are not told whether Máhan
could or should be applied to a non-divine
authority (at least it should not be capitalized if
so used). Note: Máhan means *"Supreme One"
rather than "authority" as an abstract. –MR:350,
BAL, WJ:399/402
AUTUMN yávië (harvest – in the Calendar
of Imladris, yávië was a precisely defined period
of 54 days, but the word was also used without
any exact definition), lasselanta ("leaf-fall", used
of the beginning of winter or as a synonym of
quellë; see FADING. Also spelt lasse-lanta with
a hyphen), narquelion ("fire-fading" – this word
from Fíriel's Song and Etym seems to
correspond to narquelië in LotR, but the latter is
the name of the month corresponding to our
October.) LT1:273 has yávan "autumn, harvest",
but this word may be obsoleted by yávië. –
