alón nóla ("ñ") (1) "wise, learned" (ÑGOL)<br />

(note that this and the next nóla would be spelt<br />

differently in Tengwar writing, and originally they<br />

were also pronounced differently, since nóla "wise,<br />

learned" was ñóla in First Age <strong>Quenya</strong>).<br />

alón nóla (2) "round head, knoll" (NDOL)<br />

alosto otsola "week" (evidently referring to a<br />

week of seven days like our own, since otso = seven).<br />

(GL:62)<br />

alóyh hyóla "trump" (SD:419)<br />

alumlu ulmula "mumbling" (MC:214; this is<br />

"Qenya")<br />

(YUL)<br />

ám má "hand" (MA3, LT2:339, Narqelion),<br />

dual *mát "a pair of hands" attested with a<br />

pronominal suffix: máryat "his/her (pair of) hands"<br />

(see -rya, -t) (Nam, RGEO:67), pl. allative mannar<br />

"into hands" (FS). Cf. -maitë "-handed".<br />

RGEO:66, LT2:335); Markirya has both nominative<br />

pl. rámar "wings" and instrumental pl. rámainen<br />

*"with wings" (translated "on wings" by Tolkien);<br />

rámali "wings" in MC:213 would be a partitive pl. in<br />

mature <strong>Quenya</strong>. Variant rámë in the names<br />

Eärrámë, Alquarámë, q.v.<br />

system (Appendix E)<br />

amétocnit tincotéma "t-series", dental series,<br />

first column of the Tengwar system (Appendix E)<br />

ami -ima adjectival suffix. Sometimes it is<br />

used to derive simple adjectives, like vanima "fair" or<br />

calima "bright"; it can also take on the meaning "able",<br />

as in úquétima "unspeakable" (from quet-<br />

"speak"). Note that the stem-vowel is lengthened in<br />

the derivatives where -ima means "-able"). "X-ima"<br />

7<br />

may mean "apt to X", as in Fírimar "mortals",<br />

literally "those apt to die" (WJ:387)<br />

amiac caima ("k") "bed" (KAY)<br />

amiav vaima "robe" (LT1:271)<br />

(GL:37)<br />

translation).<br />

conception = the later Vanyar, not the Teleri) (MEL)<br />

amileyt tyelima "final" (KYEL)<br />

amilio oilima "last" (MC:213, 214; this is<br />

"Qenya"), inflected or lengthened form oilimain "last<br />

(pl.)" (MC:221), oilimaisen "(MC:221), oilimaite<br />

"last" (MC:214, 221)<br />

amilis silima the substance the Silmarils<br />

were made of, invented by Fëanor (SA:sil)<br />

amilóf fólima "secretive" (LT2:340;<br />

"Qenya" spelling fôlima)<br />

aminav vanima "beautiful, fair" (BAN,<br />

VT39:14) (glossed "proper, right, fair" in early<br />

"Qenya", LT1:272); nominal pl. vanimar "beautiful<br />

ones", partitive pl. genitive vanimálion, translated "of<br />

beautiful children", but literally meaning *"of [some]<br />

beautiful ones") (LotR3:VI ch. 6, translated in<br />

Letters:308). Arwen vanimalda "Beautiful Arwen",<br />

(because all the facts are not known, or the tale is to<br />

long) (WJ:370)<br />

amirí írima "lovely, beautiful, desirable"<br />

(ID, FS), in FS also pl. írimar; in the "Qenya" of<br />

Fíriel's Song, adjectives in -a form their plurals in -ar<br />

instead of -ë as in mature <strong>Quenya</strong>.<br />

amiríf fírima "mortal" (PHIR); Fírima pl.<br />

Fírimar "those apt to die", "mortals", an Elvish name<br />

of Mortal Men (WJ:387); fírimoin "for men", a<br />

dative pl. of Fírimor, "mortals, Men", occurring in<br />

Fíriel's Song. Tolkien later changed Fírimor to<br />

Fírimar, so the dative would probably be *fírimain<br />

in mature <strong>Quenya</strong>.<br />

amirim mirima "free" (MIS)<br />

amirís sírima "liquid, flowing" (LT1:265)<br />

amiroc corima ("k") "round" (LT1:257)<br />
