entulessë

noun. return

A noun for “return” attested as the name of a ship: Entulessë (UT/171). It seems to be an abstract noun based on the verb entul- “return, come again”.

entul-

verb. to come again, return

A verb for “come again” appearing in its future form entuluva in the sentence aurë entuluva “day shall come again” from The Silmarillion (S/195). It is a combination of en- “re-, again” and tul- “come”. It was also translated “return” as an element in the ship name Entulessë (UT/171) and in drafts of the Löa Yucainen poem in the phrase loar! loar aluvalle koiveanyo entule naina “years years never again in my life will you return upstream” (CPT/1296).

Conceptual Development: The earliest Lost Tales had a phrase ᴱQ. i·kal’antúlien “Light hath returned” (LT1/184), and this verb ᴱQ. antulu- seems to be the earliest precursor to entul-. Notes on The Feanorian Alphabet from the 1940s had ᴹQ. at-tul- “come back, return” (PE22/047), using a different prefix at(a)- for “back, again, re-” (Ety/AT(AT)). In Tolkien’s later writings, at(a)- specifically meant “a second time“ or “double” (PE17/166), and the prefix en- “re-” was introduced as a prefix for general repetition; see that entry for discussion. The final version of the Löa Yucainen poem instead had nantul- for “return” [= “come back”].

entulessë noun "return" (UT:171)

en-

verb. again-

en- (4) prefix "again-", "re-" (PE17:68), in enquantuva "shall refill", entuluva, "shall come again", Envinyatar "Renewer", envinyanta "healed, *renewed", enyalië "to recall" (Nam, RGEO:67, LotR3:V ch. 8, VT41:16, MR:405, UT:317; as for the etymology of en-, see comments on Common Eldarin base EN "again, once more" in VT48:25)

tul-

come

tul- vb. "come" (WJ:368), 1st pers. aorist tulin "I come" (TUL), 3rd pers. sg. tulis "(s)he comes" (VT49:19), perfect utúlië "has come" (utúlien "I am come", EO), utúlie'n aurë "Day has come" (the function of the 'n is unclear; it may be a variant of the article "the", hence literally "the Day has come"). Past tense túlë "came" in LR:47 and SD:246, though an alternative form *tullë has also been theorized. Túlë in VT43:14 seems to be an abnormal aorist stem, later abandoned; tula in the same source would be an imperative. Prefixed future tense entuluva "shall come again" in the Silmarillion, future tuluva also in the phrase aranielya na tuluva* "may thy kingdom come" (VT44:32/34), literally apparently "thy kingdom, be-it-that (it) will come". In early "Qenya" we have the perfects tulielto "they have come" (LT1:114, 270, VT49:57) and tulier "have come", pl., in the phrase I·Eldar tulier "the Eldar have come"(LT1:114, 270). Read probably utúlieltë, Eldar utúlier** in LotR-style Quenya.

An untranslated form appearing in Notes on Names (NN) from 1957 derived from the root √PHELEG/PHELEK (PE17/118), possibly a verb derived from ✱phelektā- or ✱phelegtā-. The derivatives of this root had to do with mines and tunnels, so perhaps this verb meant “✱to excavate, tunnel, mine”.

nanwen-

return

nanwen- vb. "return" (go/come back) (PE17:166). The etymological form nan-men- indicates that the second element is #men- "go", changed to -wen- following nan- "back"; hence the perfect should perhaps be *naneménië.
