amiróv vórima (more or less identical to<br />

vorima above?) "steadfast in allegiance, in keeping<br />

oath or promise, faithful"; genitive vórimo in a<br />

variant of CO; see UT:317<br />

*"Sun-border"??? (Silm; cf. LR:383, stem<br />

RÎ)<br />

Nísimaldar, q.v.<br />

aml #-lma pronominal ending "our", attested<br />

(with the genitive ending -o that displaces final -a) in<br />

the word omentielmo "of our meeting". This "our" is<br />

plural inclusive. Frodo (it seems) improperly used it<br />

in the greeting "a star shines on the hour of our<br />

meeting": Since he and the Elf he was speaking to<br />

constituted only two persons, he should have used the<br />

dual inclusive instead. The correct form omentielvo<br />

occurs in some of the manuscripts of the Red Book.<br />

See Letters:447.<br />

finish off a work or affair", often applied to the last<br />

item in a structure, such as a coping-stone, or a<br />

topmost pinnacle (WJ:411). In the Etymologies, the<br />

word telma seems to mean "base" or "bottom",<br />

allative telmanna in the phrase telmello telmanna<br />

"from hood to base, from crown to foot, top to<br />

bottom". (TEL/TELU)<br />

amley yelma "loathing" (prob. noun;<br />
