artaresto

masculine name. Artaresto

The Quenya name of S. Orodreth in some of Tolkien’s later writings (PM/350). Its initial element is the prefixal form arta- of arata “noble”, but the meaning of the second element is unclear. This name was Sindarized as S. Rodroth (Arta- > Rod- and -resto > -reth), and then further modified to Orodreth “because of his love of the mountains” (PM/350).

Conceptual Development: In later notes, his Quenya name was changed to Artaher and his Sindarin name to S. Arothir, but these changes were not made in The Silmarillion narratives and the status of these later names is unclear (PM/350).

artamir

masculine name. *Noble Jewel

Eldest son of the Gondorian king Ondoher, killed in battle before he could claim the throne (LotR/1049). His name is a compound of the prefixal form arta- of arata “noble” and mírë “jewel”.

artanis

feminine name. Noble Woman

The father-name of Galadriel (UT/231, PM/346-7). This name is a compound of the prefixal form arta- of arata “noble” and nís “woman”.

artanáro

masculine name. *Noble Fire

The Quenya name of Gil-galad in some late notes of Tolkien (PM/350). This name is a compound of the prefixal form arta- of arata “noble” and nár “fire”. In earlier versions of these notes, this was the Quenya name of his father Orodreth, but that Quenya name was eventually revised to Artaher.

artafindë

masculine name. *Noble [Golden] Hair

A “Quenyarized” form of Findrod’s father-name: Findaráto, with the adjectival element arta- first (PM/346).

artaher

masculine name. Noble Lord

The Quenya name of S. Orodreth in some of Tolkien’s later writings (PM/346, 350). It is a compound of the prefixal form arta- of arata “noble” and heru “lord”.

Conceptual Development: His Quenya name was initially Artanáro, but this was changed to Artaresto, while Artanáro became the Quenya name of his son Gil-galad (PM/350). Later, the name was changed again to Artaher and its Sindarin form to S. Arothir, which was probably meant to replace S. Orodreth in The Silmarillion, although Tolkien did not get around to making those changes. The name Artaresto is more compatible with his Sindarin name Orodreth in the published version of The Silmarillion.

artanga

masculine name. *Noble Iron

ta

then

ta (4) conj., said to be a reducted form of tá "then", used "before each new item in a series or list"; "if as often in English the equivalent of and was omitted, and placed only before a final item [e.g. Tom, Dick, and Harriet], this would in Quenya represent a discontinuity, and what followed after ta would be an addition of something overlooked or less important". (PE17:70) Hence the use of arta (ar ta, "and ta") for "et cetera"; in older language ta ta or just ta.
