Almaren

blessedness

Almaren place-name, the first abode of the Valar in Arda, apparently related to almarë "blessedness" (Silm, LR:357)

Almáriel fem. name, apparently containing almarë "blessedness" (GALA, VT45:5, 14)

vald-

blessedness, happiness

vald- noun "blessedness, happiness" (LT1:272 a final vowel would seem to be required). See valin regarding the dubious conceptual validity of this and related words.

almarë

blessedness, 'blessings', good fortune, bliss

almarë noun "blessedness, 'blessings', good fortune, bliss". In deleted entries in Etym, the glosses provided were "blessedness, prosperity, bliss" (GALA, VT45:5, 14)

almië

blessedness, 'blessings', good fortune, bliss

almië noun "blessedness, 'blessings', good fortune, bliss". In deleted entries in Etym, the glosses were "blessedness, prosperity, bliss" (GALA, VT45:5, 14)

alma

good fortune, weal, wealth

alma (1) noun "good fortune, weal, wealth". In a deleted entry in Etym, the glosses were "riches, (good) fortune, blessedness"; in another deleted entry, Tolkien provided the glosses "growth" and maybe "increase" (reading uncertain), also "good fortune, riches" (GALA [ALAM], VT45:5, 13, 14)

@@@ here the gloss is from the deleted form of the word N. galw (EtyAC/GAL²); in HSD the meaning is speculated to be the same as alma or almare: “?good fortune, blessedness, blessings”, but for these meanings I would suggest using ᴺS. alvar “(good) luck, fortune”, ᴺS. elias “blessedness” or ᴺS. eliad “blessing”. Cannot be plausibly derived from galmā, but might be from galwā.

Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!
