Qenya name for G. Angol appearing in the Gnomish Lexicon from the 1910s (GL/19), a compound of ere(n) “iron” and ollo “cliff” according to Christopher Tolkien (LT1A/Eriol). In the tales themselves this name appeared as Erenol, but was soon changed to Evadrien.

erumaite
adjective. one handed
A word for “one handed” in the Early Qenya Grammar (EQG) of the 1920s, a combination of ᴱQ. eru “once” and ᴱQ. maite “handed” (PE14/51, 81; PE16/140). As published in PE14, the form given for the manuscript version of EQG was erumaili (PE14/51), but according to Patrick Wynne and Christopher Gilson this was a misprint for erumaite (PE16/140).

oryat
noun. badger
A word appearing as ᴱQ. oryat “badger” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√ORO “steepness, rising” (QL/70). Tolkien marked the word with a “?” and gave it two different stem forms oryak- and oryap-. In the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa, the word had only one stem form oryap-, and appeared beside a longer form oryapin, perhaps an accusative or feminine form (PE12/xxi). With this stem form, it might be a combination of ᴱ√ORO “high” with (onomatopoeic?) ᴱ√YAPA “snarl”, so perhaps originally meaning “✱high-yapper” referring to the badger’s high-pitched bark, as suggested by Lokyt in a 2021 Discord chat.
Neo-Quenya: I would retain ᴺQ. oryat (oryap-) “badger” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, with the semi-onomatopoeic derivation “✱high-yapper” suggested above.
arqilis
noun. desert
A word given in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “desert”, apparently a noun formation from ᴱQ. arqa “arid, parched, dry” (QL/32).

aldare
noun. wood
A word glossed “wood” in the margins of Tolkien’s notes on The Creatures of the Earth from the 1910s, clearly an elaboration ᴱQ. alda “tree” as suggested by Patrick Wynne and Christopher Gilson (PE14/7).
málos
noun. forest
A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s given as the cognate of G. goloth “forest”, derived from primitive ᴱ✶ŋgua-aloþ- (GL/41). This is likely a combination of ᴱ✶ŋu̯a “together” and some elaboration of the root ᴱ√ALA “spread”, the basis of “tree” words, so probably originally “✱together spread(ing)” or something to that effect.
ulird(e)a
adjective. pitiless, cruel, (lit.) without bowels
@@@ possibly based on unattested hir(d) “innards, bowels, guts”, cognate of ᴱN. girdh, as suggested by Damien Bador in private correspondance

lunde tiqilindea

The mountains to the east of Hithlum translated “Echoing Mountains” (S/118), a combination of the plural of orod “mountain” and NS. lómin “echoing” (SA/lóm). This name must be in the North Sindarin dialect, since in ordinary (West) Sindarin word for “echoing” was S. loven (PE17/133).
Conceptual Development: In Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s, this name first appeared as Eryd-Lómin with the meaning “Mountains of Shadow” (SM/139, 296), with the second element a remnant of G. lómin “shadowy”. This name was generally revised to Eredwethion “Shadowy Mountains” (SM/140, 221), while the name Eredlómin was repurposed for the “Echoing Mountains” (SM/268, LR/259).
Since the adjective lómin no longer fit Noldorin phonology, Tolkien explained it as a loan word from Ilk. lómen “echoing”, adapted from the name Ilk. Lóminorthin (Ety/LAM). After Tolkien abandoned the Ilkorin language, he formulated the new derivation from the North Sindarin dialect, as noted above.
