oiolossë

place name. Ever (Snow) White

Another name for Taniquetil (LotR/377, S/37) variously translated as “Everlasting Whiteness”, “Ever-snow”, “Ever-white” or “Ever-snow-white”. This name is a compound of oi(o) “ever” and lossë “snow, snow-white” (RGEO/61).

Conceptual Development: In Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s, this name first appeared as ᴹQ. Ialasse “Everlasting Whiteness” (SM/81). A similar form ᴹQ. Iolosse appeared in The Etymologies (Ety/EY, GEY) and possibly also in the Silmarillion texts (LR/210), but it was rejected and replaced by its final form ᴹQ. Oiolosse (Ety/OY, LR/209).

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).

oiolairë

noun. ever-summer (a species of tree)

A species of tree in Númenor translated “ever-summer” (UT/179), a combination of oi(o) “ever” and lairë “summer”.

vorondil

masculine name. *Ever-friend

Second of the house of Stewards in Gondor (LotR/755, 1039). His name seems to be a compound of [ᴹQ.] voro “ever” and the suffix -(n)dil “friend”.

Conceptual Development: In Lord of the Rings drafts from the 1940s, his name was first given as N. Faragon (WR/281), changed to ᴹQ. Orondil and then Vorondil (WR/288).

Oiomúrë

ever-?mist

Oiomúrë place-name; noun *"Ever-?mist" (Silm)

tennoio

tennoio adv. "for ever" (CO); see tenna

ullumë

not for ever

ullumë adv.? a word occurring in Fíriel's Song, evidently meaning "not for ever". Cf. ú-, lúmë and úlumë.

vairë

feminine name. Weaver, Ever-weaving

The spouse of Námo (Mandos), this Valië weaves all things that have ever been into her storied webs (S/28). Her name is translated “Weaver” or “Ever-weaving” (MR/49, VT39/10). It is derived from √WIR “weave” (PE17/191), probably from an a-fortified form of that root: ✱✶Wairē (VT39/10).

Conceptual Development: In the earliest Lost Tales, ᴱQ. Vaire was an Elf, the wife of ᴱQ. Lindo (LT1/14). At this early stage, the spouse of Mandos was ᴱQ. Nienna (LT1/66). In Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s, ᴹQ. Nienna became unmarried, and a new Valië, ᴹQ. Vaire “Weaver”, was named as the spouse of Mandos (LR/110).

In The Etymologies from the 1930s, ᴹQ. Vaire developed from ᴹ✶Weirē < ᴹ√WEY “weave” (Ety/WEY), since at this stage primitive [[mq|[ei] became [ai] when stressed and non-final]] (PE19/25). Later, Tolkien modified the development of this primitive diphthong so that [[q|stressed non-final [ei] became [ē]]] (PE19/53, 106). As further evidence of this phonetic change, Tolkien briefly considered changing the name of Vairë to Vérë (PE17/33), probably from the same primitive form ✶Weirē.

Tolkien did not adopt this variant name, however, which implies that the new primitive form of this name must have been ✶Wairē (not directly attested). Tolkien specified that this name did not develop from √WAY (which meant “blow”), proposing instead that it developed from a new root √WIR “weave” (PE17/191). Elsewhere Tolkien stated that the primitive form of Vairë probably developed from √WIR via the process of a-fortification (VT39/10).

voro

ever, continually

voro, voro- adv. "ever, continually" (BOR, Narqelion) Compare vor. (Focusing on the gloss "continually", post-Tolkien writers have sometimes used voro for "still, yet", but for this sense the term en is available.) The variants vora, vorë were used for "always" in drafts for a Quenya version of the Sub Tuum Praesidium, but Tolkien eventually replaced such forms with the unrelated word illumë (VT44:9). Compare vórë, vórëa.

vána

feminine name. Ever-young, *(lit.) Beauty

Valië of Spring and Happiness, spouse of Oromë, also called the “Ever-young” (S/29). Her name is a derivative of either √BAN “beauty” (PE17/150) or √WAN “fair” (WJ/383). She is the most perfectly beautiful being in form and feature, in the sense that she lacked any fault or blemish (PE17/150).

Conceptual Development: Her name was ᴱQ. Vána in the earliest Lost Tales (LT1/67), and this name appeared in the Qenya Lexicon as a derivative of the root ᴱ√VANA along with other words having to do with “beauty” (QL/99). In Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s, ᴹQ. Vana appeared with a short a (SM/79, LR/206), and it also appeared this way in The Etymologies as a derivative of √BAN, which was also the basis for words meaning “beautiful” (Ety/BAN).

The long á was restored in Silmarillion revisions from the 1950s-60s (MR/146). The derivation from the root √WAN did not appear until the Quendi and Eldar essay from 1959-60.

oi(o)

noun/adverb. ever, everlastingly; an endless period, ever, everlastingly; an endless period, *aeon

oia(la)

Vairë

the weaver

Vairë (1) fem. name "the Weaver", name of a Valië, spouse of Mandos (Silm, WEY). The name is translated "Ever-weaving" in VT39:10, and it is implied that the archaic form was *Wairē rather than ¤Weirē, the reconstruction given in the Etymologies (entry WEY). Tolkien considered changing the name to Vérë (PE17:33) One source glosses the literal meaning as "weaving" rather than "weaver" (PE17:191).

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)

sanya

sanya (þ) (1) adj. "regular, law-abiding, normal" (STAN); variant vorosanya with a prefixed element meaning "ever" (VT46:16)

tenna

until, up to, as far as

tenna prep. "until, up to, as far as" (CO), "unto" (VT44:35-36), "to the point", "right up to a point" (of time/place), "until", "to the object, up to, to (reach), as far as" (VT49:22, 23, 24, PE17:187), elided tenn' in the phrase tenn' Ambar-metta "unto the ending of the world" in EO, because the next word begins in a similar vowel; cf. tennoio "for ever" (tenna + oio, q.v.) The unelided form appears in PE17:105: Tenna Ambar-metta.

vorosanya

regular, law-abiding, normal

vorosanya (þ) adj. "regular, law-abiding, normal" (VT46:16); also just sanya (þ). The prefix voro- means "ever" or "continually".

not-

verb. to count, to count, [ᴹQ.] reckon

A verb for “count” (PE17/63), most notable as an element in the adjective únótima “numberless, countless, (lit.) uncountable” from the phrase yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron “long years numberless as the wings of trees” in the Namárië “poem” (LotR/377). In The Etymologies of the 1930s ᴹQ. not- was glossed “reckon” and was derived from the root ᴹ√NOT “count, reckon” (Ety/NOT).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would use the verb not- primarily in the sense “count”, and for “reckon” I would use onot-.

fanoiolossë

-më

suffix. abstract noun

-më (2) abstract suffix, as in melmë "love" (cf. the verb mel-), #cilmë "choice" (possibly implying a verb *cil- "to choose"). According to PE17:68, primitive -mē (and -wē) were endings used to derive nouns denoting "a single action", which may fit the meaning of cilmë (but melmë "love" would normally be something lasting rather than "a single action").

fána

white

fána, fánë (1) adj. "white" (Markirya - fánë as a sg. form in may be a misreading). Compare fanya.

fána

Compounded in Ninquelótë noun "White-Flower" (SA:nim), = Sindarin Nimloth, the White Tree of Númenor; ninqueruvissë ("q") "white-horse-on" _(MC:216; this is "Qenya", read _ninqueroccossë or *ninquiroccossë in LotR-style Quenya). Normally ninquë would be expected to have the stem-form ninqui-, given the primitive form ¤ninkwi; Ninquelótë rather than *Ninquilótë must be seen as an analogical form.

One of the beacon hills in Lord of the Rings drafts from the 1940s (WR/233). It is a combination of various elements, perhaps mind- “isolated” plus -or “mountain” and ui “ever” plus lhass “leaf”, as suggested by Roman Rausch (3.22).

fenn uiforn

place name. Ever Closed [Door]

Earlier name for S. Fen Hollen in Lord of the Rings drafts from the 1940s glossed “Ever Closed” (WR/341), a combination of fenn “door”, ui “ever” and forn(en) “closed”. Nearby Tolkien wrote Uidavnen and davnan, possibly alternate words for “(ever)-closed”.

adverb. ever

oy

root. ever, continual, unceasing

This root first appeared as ᴹ√OY “ever, eternal” in The Etymologies of the 1930s (Ety/OY), replacing roots ᴹ√GEY, ᴹ√EY, and ᴹ√ƷEI̯ of similar meaning (Ety/GEY, EY; EtyAC/ƷEI̯). It had derivatives like ᴹQ. oi/N. ui “ever” and ᴹQ. oira/N. uireb “eternal” (Ety/OY). It was an element in the name ᴹQ. Oiolosse “(Mount) Ever White” (LR/209), though when Tolkien first coined this name it was ᴹQ. Ialasse (SM/81), as reflected in Tolkien’s vacillations on the proper form of the root. After settling on √OY, he stuck with it thereafter, and this root and primitive form appeared a number of times in his later writings (PE17/69; Let/278).

oio-maltinā

adjective. ever-golden

wairē

feminine name. Weaver

mel

root. love, love, [ᴹ√] love (as friend)

This root was the basis for Elvish “love” words for all of Tolkien’s life. The root first appeared as ᴱ√MELE “love” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with derivatives like ᴱQ. mel- “to love”, ᴱQ. meles(se) “love”, and ᴱQ. melin “dear, beloved” (QL/60). In the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon it had similar derivatives like G. mel- “love” and G. melon “dear, beloved” (GL/57).

In The Etymologies of the 1930s Tolkien specified that ᴹ√MEL meant “love (as friend)”, and for the first time it included the derivative N. mellon “friend” (Ety/MEL); Gnomish “friend” words from the 1910s were mostly based on G. ged (GL/38). However, the same entry included ᴹQ. melindo/ᴹQ. melisse “lover” (male and female), so it seems even in the 1930s it could refer to romantic love (Ety/MEL). The root continued to appear in Tolkien’s later writings associated with “love” (PE18/46, 96; PE17/41; VT39/10).

In notes from 1959, Tolkien elaborated on the precise sense of √MEL and its role in romantic and non-romantic love:

> Love, which Men might call “friendship” (but for the greater strength and warmth and permanency with which it was felt by the Quendi) was represented by √mel. This was primarily a motion or inclination of the fëa [“spirit”], and therefore could occur between persons of the same sex or different sexes. It included no sexual or procreative desire, though naturally in Incarnates the difference of sex altered the emotion, since “sex” is held by the Eldar to belong also to the fëa and not solely to the hröa [“body”], and is therefore not wholly included in procreation ... The “desire” for marriage and bodily union was represented by √yer; but this never in the uncorrupted occurred without “love” √mel, nor without the desire for children. This element was therefore seldom used except to describe occasions of its dominance in the process of courting and marriage. The feelings of lovers desiring marriage, and of husband and wife, were usually described by √mel. This “love” remained, of course, permanent after the satisfaction of √yer in the “Time of the Children”; but was strengthened by this satisfaction and the memory of it to a normally unbreakable bond (NM/20).

Thus √MEL was close in sense to Greek “philia”, used of friendship, whereas √YER was used of “eros” or sexual desire. But in Elvish thinking, √MEL was essential for romantic love, and √YER only arose from that. Furthermore, √YER was not the most important element in the love between romantic partners, as the period of procreation and child-rearing took up a relatively small portion of Elvish lives. It was the more enduring feeling of friendship between lovers that really mattered, and thus √MEL was used of both non-romantic and romantic love, though it had not particular sexual connotation.

melā

verb. love

ndilā

verb. love, be devoted to

stor

root. steadfast

A root appearing Notes on Names (NN) from 1957 serving as an explanation for the element S. thorn “steadfast” in the name S. Arathorn, first appearing in a rejected page with variants √STOR and √THOR (PE17/113-114) and then later as only √THOR (PE17/113). This root may be connected to Q. torna “hard” in notes on Quenya intensive forms written between the first and second edition of The Lord of the Rings, where it was an element in Q. tornanga “hard iron”, with intensive forms aristorna, anastorna that imply derivation from √STOR (PE17/56).

Neo-Eldarin: For purposes of Neo-Eldarin, I would assume this root is √STOR to avoid conflict with ᴹ√THOR(ON), the basis for “eagle” words.

thor

root. steadfast

him

adverb/adjective. ever, ever, [N.] enduring, continually; steadfast, abiding

ui

ui-

prefix. ever

amon uilos

place name. Hill of Ever-snow

The Sindarin name of the mountain Q. Oiolossë (S/37). The first element is amon “hill” and the second element Uilos “Ever-snow” is the cognate of its Quenya name.

Conceptual Development: The earliest form of this name was N. Amon Uilas with an a corresponding to earlier ᴹQ. Ialasse (SM/81), but it was revised to N. Amon Uilos in Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s (LR/210). This form of the name also appeared in The Etymologies (Ety/OY).

himring

place name. Ever-cold

A hill where Maedhros built his stronghold, translated “Ever-cold” (S/123). This name appears to be a compound of him “ever” (Ety/KHIM, EtyAC/KHIM) and ring “cold” (Ety/RINGI).

Conceptual Development: This name first appeared in the Lays of Beleriand from the 1920s as ᴱN. Himling of unclear meaning (LB/263) and the form N. Himling also appeared in the Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s (SM/108, LR/145) before being revised to N. Himring, at which point it was translated “Ever-cold” for the first time (LR/265).

uilos

place name. Ever-snow

Sindarin name for Mount Q. Oiolossë (PE17/26), usually appearing in the fuller name Amon Uilos. It is a combination of ui “ever” and loss “snow”.

Conceptual Development: In The Etymologies from the 1930s, this name first appeared as (rejected) N. Guilos from the root ᴹ√GEY (Ety/GEY), revised to Uiloss from the root ᴹ√EY (Ety/EY) and finally N. Uilos from the root ᴹ√OY (Ety/OY), with essentially the same derivation as its later Sindarin name.

Fanuilos

' angelic figure ever- white '

theon. '(bright) angelic figure ever-(snow) white (shining after)', 'of/upon Uilos', 'far away upon Uilos', a title or second name of Elbereth/Varda.

himlad

place name. Cool Plain; (lit.) ?Ever-plain

A region in north-eastern Beleriand, translated “Cool Plain” (WJ/332). This translation is difficult to explain. The final element is clearly lad “plain”, implying that its first element means “cool”, as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (SA/him). This name shares the same initial element as Himring “Ever-cold”, but that name seems to be a compound of him “ever” (Ety/KHIM, EtyAC/KHIM) and ring “cold” (Ety/RINGI).

It is possible that Tolkien coined Himlad after Himring, deciding in that moment that the initial element meant “cold” rather than the final one. However, the root meaning of √RINGI “cold” is well attested in other names: S. Ringló “Chillflood”, S. Ringnen “Chillwater”, Q. Ringarë “December”. This change of him to “cool” may have been temporary, leaving Himlad an aberration.

uimallen

adjective. ever-golden

Another name of the mallorn tree in notes on the Common Eldarin Article (CEA) from 1969, appearing as uimallhen “ever-golden” < ✶oio-maltinā (PE23/140). This word is unusual in that the medial m does not mutate to v, but in CEA Tolkien was exploring the idea that m did not always mutate in later Sindarin compounts (PE23/138 note #12). In normal Sindarin orthography the voiceless llh would be represented as ll: ✱uimallen. Compare malhorn from CEA (PE23/140) vs. mallorn from The Lord of the Rings (LotR/346).

fanuilos

proper name. Bright (Angelic) Figure upon Uilos

A title of Elbereth appearing in the poem A Elbereth Gilthoniel (LotR/238) and Sam’s related invocation for her aid (LotR/729). This name is a combination of the elements fân “cloud; bright thing”, ui “ever” and loss “snow, snow-white”.

Possible Etymology: In his notes in the song-cycle The Road Goes Ever On, Tolkien translated the name as “bright spirit clothed in ever-white” (RGEO/63), but elsewhere his translation referred to the mountain Uilos: “Figure (bright and majestic) upon Uilos” (PE17/26) or to snow: “Bright angelic figure ever-white (as snow)” (PE17/180). No doubt the final element of this name at least alluded to the snowy mountain of Valinor where Elbereth made her home.

The initial element fân is similarly complicated to translate. In ordinary Sindarin speech the word had come to mean “cloud”, but its meaning was also influenced by Q. fana “(radiant) figure”, a term used for the bodily forms assumed by the Valar (RGEO/66, PE/173-6). It is this second meaning that applies to this name.

nod-

verb. to count

An (archaic?) verb for “count” implied by various compounds like pen-nod “without count” and únodui “countless” (PE17/144-145). In The Etymologies of the 1930s Tolkien said that “not- count, nut- tie coalesced in Exilic ✱nod-, but ‘count’ was always expressed by gonod- unless some other prefix was added, as in arnediad” (Ety/WŌ). Thus it seems nod “count” survived only an element in compounds, and words like [N.] gonod- “count up, reckon” and nedia- “count” became the usual verbs for counting. According to The Etymologies it seems the basic verb form [N.] nod- meant only “to tie” in the modern form of the language.

Conceptual Development: In Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s, nod- was mentioned as element in ᴱN. go-nod- “count up” (PE13/162).
