earen

noun. eyrie, (young) eagle

A word appearing as earen “eagle” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s (QL/34) and The Qenya Phonology (PE12/25), with the gloss “young eagle” in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/34). In the first two documents it was an element in the name ᴱQ. Earendel or Earendl, and the same was true in the Name-list to The Fall of Gondolin, but there earen was glossed “eyrie” (PE15/22).

laivar

noun. ocean

A word glossed “ocean” in notes associated with drafts of the Oilima Markirya from around 1930 (PE16/77). This word did not appear in the final version of the poem. Its etymology is unclear, but Gilson, Welden and Hostetter suggest it might be connected to ᴱQ. laiqa “green”, a colour used to describe the ocean in some drafts of the poem (PE16/78).

sor(ne)

noun. eagle

sornion

noun. eyrie

The word ᴱQ. sornion “eyrie” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s as an elaboration of ᴱQ. sor(ne) “eagle” (QL/86). The word also appeared in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/86).

Neo-Quenya: Since Q. soron, sorno or sorne were words for “eagle” in Tolkien’s later writings, I think ᴺQ. sornion “eyrie” can be retained for purposes of Neo-Quenya, perhaps originally a genitive plural “of the eagles”.

soron
