Quenya-English Dictionary

4 THE POINT before deciding that it doesn’t exist. So we come to the question: Why am I writing this dictionary when the <strong>Quenya</strong> Lexicon (Parma Eldalaberon #12) already exists? a) It’s out of stock at present b) It’s not free c) I don’t like the way it’s ordered by root-word - it presumes that you already know what you’re looking for, which may not be the case - I’d like a dictionary that is set out like a dictionary d) I’m using the act of gathering, cleaning up and inserting these words as a chance to learn them - which I’d recommend to anyone learning <strong>Quenya</strong> as a way to build vocabulary fast - especially if you have to figure out the nuances of meaning between synonyms.
Word order Each word is listed alphabetically. I have made little difference between the short and long vowels ecept where it is the only differentiator between two words, in which case the unaccented (or short) form comes before the long form (eg tir comes before tír, but óma comes before oron). A word may be repeated if it has multiple meanings, and sometimes an inflected-form may be listed separately to the standard version if the meaning differs enough. Note: I have changed ”k” to ”c” in all occurances of the letter - if you like Ks better, than feel free to use them in your own compositions, but I like the look of c and so that is what I have used throughout. This may mean that the attested form is different to the form I have included in this dictionary - but I am fairly sure that most readers will be able to figure out what was meant and will be able to go to the section starting with ”C” to find a word rather than the one starting with ”K”... Note: WRT ”x” or ”cs” I actually haven’t settled on a decision regarding this. I started out using only ”x”, but then it became necessary to show the etymology of a certain word using ”cs” so I have interspersed these two. Obviously one is interchangeable with the other anyway, and no words start with this sound, so choose as you will, and I will eventually decide. I’m leaning more to ”cs” than ”x” now as otherwise etymology is too confusing - Ive already put in what I thought was a ”new” word only to discover it later under another area because ti was spelled with an x. Also note, that some words are listed specifically as suffixes/prefixes, and thus may be listed with a ”-” before or after them - this is ignored for the purpose of sorting, but may confuse some search queries. 5
