corto

noun. circle

Corolóra

corolóra

[Corolóra] ("k"), possibly a synonym of Ilcorin, q.v. (VT45:29)

corollairë

place name. Green Mound, *(lit.) Mound of Summer

The green mound where the Two Trees of Valinor stood (S/38). This name is a compound of coron “mound” and lairë “summer”, with the n assimilated to the l. It is a translation of Valarin Ezellōχār (WJ/401). The (Vanyarin?) name Ezellohar is a direct adaptation of the Valarin name. The name is generally glossed “Green Mound”, but the literal meaning of the Quenya name is “✱Mound of Summer”.

coron

noun. mound, mound; [ᴹQ.] globe, ball

A word glossed “mound” in the name Q. Koron Oiolaire “Mound Ever-summer” in the Quendi and Eldar essay from 1959-60 (SA/coron; WJ/401). In The Etymologies of the 1930s, however, ᴹQ. koron was glossed “globe, ball” and was derived from the root ᴹ√KOR “round” (Ety/KOR). If this was its primary meaning, then perhaps it could also refer to round hills as hemispheres. In The Etymologies, its stem form was korn- as indicated by its (Middle Quenya) genitive kornen, likely the result of the Quenya syncope; the same reduction in inflected forms may have applied to the later version of the word as well.

coron oiolairë

place name. Mound Ever-summer

A fuller name of Corollairë, a combination of coron “mound”, oi(o) “ever” and lairë “summer” (WJ/401).

Corollairë

Corollairë ("Korollairë"), place-name; see Coron Oiolairë.

Coroloisi

not of kor

[Coroloisi] ("k"), noun: possibly an empheral name of the Elves "not of Kor" in the Blessed Realm. Tolkien changed this plural from Coroloiti (VT45:29). It is not quite clear what the intended singular is.

coromindo

cupola, dome

coromindo ("k")noun "cupola, dome" (KOR)

coron

mound

coron (1) noun "mound" (SA); Coron Oiolairë ("Koron"), place-name: the "Mound of Eversummer" where the Two Trees grew. Also contracted Corollairë (WJ:401) and Corlairë (MR:107); both are spelt with an initial k in the sources.

coron (2) ("k") (corn-, as in dat. sg. cornen) noun "globe, ball" (KOR)

coro

coropë

noun. skull

rínata-

verb. to crown, coronate

A neologism for “to crown, coronate” coined by Elaran and Lokyt on 2022-01-05 in the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS), a causative verb based on the adjective rína “crowned”, and so literally “to make crowned”. Luinyelle and Röandil instead proposed ᴺQ. ríanta- as a combination of ría “garland” and anta- “give”, but I prefer Elaran’s suggestion.

ríanta-

verb. to crown, coronate

Corlairë

corlairë

Corlairë ("k"), place-name, apparently shortened from Corollairë, Coron Oiolairë (MR:107)

Ezellohar

the green mound

Ezellohar noun "the Green Mound" where the Two Trees grew; adopted and adapted from Valarin; also translated as Coron Oiolairë, Corollairë (WJ:401). The name must have become *Erellohar in Exilic (Noldorin) Quenya.

lairë

summer

lairë (1) noun "summer" (Letters:283, VT45:26), in the calendar of Imladris a precisely defined period of 72 days, but also used without any exact definition (Appendix D). Oiolairë "Eversummer", name of a tree (UT:167), see also Coron Oiolairë. Lairelossë noun *"Summer-snow", name of a tree (UT:167), perhaps with white flowers.

oio

endless period

oio noun "an endless period" (CO) or adv. "ever" (SA:los). Oiolairë "Ever-summer" (name of a tree, UT:167; also in the name Coron Oiolairë, "Mound of Ever-summer". Oiolossë "Everwhite, Ever-snowwhite", a name of Taniquetil (OY), hence the translation "Mount Everwhite" in Tolkien's rendering of Namárië. See also SA:los. Explicit "mount" in Oron Oiolossë "Mount Everwhite" (WJ:403). Ablativic genitive Oiolossëo "from Mount Everwhite" in Namárië (Nam, RGEO:67, OY)

corpë

noun. skull

Helge Fauskanger proposed the neologism ᴺQ. caraxo “skull = head bone” for his NQNT (NQNT), but Damien Bador instead used ᴺQ. coropë < √KOR “round”, adapted from Gnomish G. corob “skull”. I prefer Bador’s solution, with the caveat that I think it would likely undergo the Quenya syncope and become ᴺQ. corpë instead, as pointed out by Röandil in a Discord chat from 2021-06-08.

lairë

noun. summer

Ellairë

summer

Ellairë alternative name of June (PM:135); evidently incorporating lairë "summer"; the el- part is probably an assimilated form of er-, an element meaning one or first, June being the first summer month.
