enros sornë, sor "eagle" (LT1:266); rather<br />

sorno, soron in mature <strong>Quenya</strong><br />

enrut turnë pa.t. of tur- (TUR)<br />

enúc cúnë ("k") "crescent, bow" (LT1:271).<br />

Cf. cú.<br />

enúdna andúnë "sunset, west, evening"<br />

(NDÛ, Markirya, SA), also in Namárië: Andúnë<br />

"West" (but the standard <strong>Quenya</strong> translation of "west"<br />

is Númen) (Nam, RGEO:66) Cf. andu- in Andúnië,<br />

Andúril.<br />

enúl lúnë "blue" (LUG 2 , LT1:262; Namárië<br />

has #luin)<br />

enullat tallunë "sole of foot" (TALAM,<br />

RUN)<br />

enúlleiN Niellúnë "Sirius" (a star), also<br />

Nierninwa (LT1:262)<br />

ép pé "lip", dual peu "the two lips, the<br />

mouth-opening" (VT39:9). In an earlier source, the<br />

Etymologies, pé was glossed "mouth" (PEG)<br />

eplet telpë "silver", telep- in some<br />

compounds like Teleporno; assimilated telem- in<br />

Telemnar (KYELEP/TELEP, SA:celeb, LT1:255,<br />

268; also tyelpë, telep-, UT:266). The true <strong>Quenya</strong><br />

descendant of primitive *kyelepê is tyelpë, but the<br />

Telerin form telpë was more common, "for the Teleri<br />

prized silver above gold, and their skill as<br />

silversmiths was esteemed even by the Noldor"<br />

(UT:266). Telperion the White Tree of Valinor;<br />

Telperien ("Telperiën"), fem. name including telp-<br />

"silver" (Appendix A); Telperinquar "Silver-fist,<br />

Celebrimbor" (SA:celeb - also Tyelperinquar);<br />

Telporno, Teleporno "Silver-high" = Sindarin<br />

Celeborn (Letters:347, UT:266). It seems that<br />

Teleporno is properly Telerin, <strong>Quenya</strong>rized as<br />

Telporno.<br />

epleyt tyelpë "silver" (KYELEP/TELEP),<br />

etymology also in Letters:426 and UT:266. Tyelpë is<br />

the true <strong>Quenya</strong> descendant of primitive *kyelepê, but<br />

the Telerin form telpë was more common, "for the<br />

Teleri prized silver above gold, and their skill as<br />

silversmiths was esteemed even by the Noldor"<br />

(UT:266).<br />

epmat tampë "copper" (LT1:268; in mature<br />

<strong>Quenya</strong> tampë is [also?] the past tense of tap- "stop,<br />

block")<br />

epmat tampë pa.t. of tápë, see tap- (TAP)<br />

epmel lempë "five" (LEP/LEPEN/LEPEK,<br />

GL:53)<br />

epmil limpë "(wine), drink of the Valar"<br />

(LIP), cf. the early "Qenya" gloss "drink of the<br />

fairies" (LT1:258)<br />

epmit timpë "fine rain" (LT1:268,<br />

Narqelion)<br />

epmot tompë pa.t. of top- (topë) (TOP)<br />

ér ré "day" (of the sun) (Appendix D); short<br />

-rë in compounds like Ringarë<br />

31<br />

erá árë "day" (PM:127) or "sunlight"<br />

(SA:arien). Also name of tengwa 31; cf. also ar # 2.<br />

Originally pronounced ázë; when /z/ merged with /r/,<br />

the letter became superfluous and was given the new<br />

value ss, hence it was re-named essë (Appendix E).<br />

Also árë nuquerna *"árë reversed", name of tengwa<br />

32, similar to normal árë but turned upside down<br />

(Appendix E). –In the Etymologies, this word has a<br />

short vowel: arë pl. ari (AR 1 )<br />

eradlon noldarë "mole"; also nolpa (GL:30)<br />

eráf fárë "sufficiency, plenitude, all that is<br />

wanted" (PHAR)<br />

eragniR Ringarë the twelfth and last month<br />

of the year, "December" (Appendix D, SA:ring); the<br />

word seems to mean "Cold-day".<br />

erah harë, har "near" (LT1:253)<br />

eramla almarë "blessedness, 'blessings',<br />

good fortune, bliss" (GALA)<br />

eramlI Ilmarë "starlight", also name of a<br />

Maia (GIL, SA:ilm-)<br />

erán nárë, also short nár, "flame" (NAR 1 ,<br />

Narqelion). Translated "fire" in some names, see<br />

Aicanáro, Fëanáro (where nár apparently has the<br />

masculine ending -o)<br />

erasat tasarë, tasar "willow-tree"<br />

(TATHAR). In Tasarinan *"Willow-valley", Nantasarion<br />

*"Valley of willows" (SA:tathar)<br />

erát tárë "in that day", not translated in its<br />

first occurrence in Fíriel's Song<br />

eratno ontarë "begetter, parent" (fem); pl.<br />

ontari (see ontani) covers both sexes. (ONO)<br />

eratsey yestarë *"first-day", the first day of<br />

the year (loa), immediately before tuilë (Appendix<br />

D)<br />

eráuq quárë (also quár) "fist" (SA:celeb,<br />

KWAR; in the Etymologies, Tolkien first wrote quár<br />

pl. quari, and quár is also found in PM:318. As<br />

usual, the Etym forms have q instead of qu.)<br />

According to PM:318, the "chief use [of this word]<br />

was in reference to the tightly closed hand as in using<br />

an implement or a craft-tool rather than to the 'fist' as<br />

used in punching".<br />

eráy yárë "former days" (YA)<br />

eraynaf fanyarë "the skies" (not heaven or<br />

firmament - the upper airs and clouds). Note that<br />

despite its English gloss, fanyarë is a singular word<br />

and therefore takes a singular adjective/participle, as<br />

in fanyarë rúcina "ruined skies" in Markirya (see<br />

MC:220, note 8 for this translation)<br />

eráyne enyárë "in that day" (pointing to the<br />

future) (FS)<br />

eráynemul lumenyárë "history,<br />

chronological account" (NAR 2 - read *lúmenyárë?)<br />

ere erë, eren "iron" or "steel"; Eremandu<br />

variant of Angamandu (Angband) (LT1:252; "iron"<br />
