anann

adverb. (for) long

An adverb meaning “(for) long” in the phrase cuio i Pheriain anann “may the Halflings live long” (LotR/953; Let/448; PE17/102). It is a combination of an “for” with and “long”.

ódhel Archaic

proper name. Elf who left for Aman

An archaic Sindarin term for the Elves who travelled to Aman, the equivalent of Q. Aurel from primitive ✶awādelo “away Elf” (WJ/364). Later the term was used to describe the exiled Noldor, and developed into S. Gódhel (WJ/379).

menel-vîr síla díriel

*heaven-jewel shines having watched [for us]

The second phrase of Lúthien’s Song (LB/354). Three translations of this phrase are:

• Patrick Wynne: “✱a heavenly jewel shines silver, having watched” (NTTLS/11)

• David Salo: “✱having watched ... shines like a jewel in the sky” (GS/211)

• Bertrand Bellet and Benjamin Babut: “✱jewel of the firmament, shines on the watch [for us]” (GTLC)

The first word menel is the Sindarin word for “the heavens, firmament”. The second word vîr is the lenited form of mîr “jewel”. The third word síla “shines” is the present tense of the verb síla- “to shine”. The last word díriel “having watched” is the lenited form of tíriel, the past active participle form of the verb tiria- “to watch, gaze”.

an

for

an (1) _conj. and prep. _"for" (Nam, RGEO:66), an cé mo quernë… "for if one turned…" (VT49:8), also used adverbially in the formula an + a noun to express "one more" (of the thing concerned: an quetta "a word more", PE17:91). The an of the phrase es sorni heruion an! "the Eagles of the Lords are at hand" (SD:290) however seems to denote motion towards (the speaker): the Eagles are coming. Etym has an, ana "to, towards" (NĀ1). The phrase an i falmalī _(PE17:127) is not clearly translated but seems to be a paraphrase of the word falmalinnar "upon the foaming waves" (Nam)_, suggesting that an can be used as a paraphrase of the allative ending (and if falmalī is seen as a Book Quenya accusative form because of the long final vowel, this is evidence that an governs the accusative case). In the "Arctic" sentence, an is translated "until". Regarding an as used in Namárië, various sources indicate that it means an "moreover, further(more), to proceed" (VT49:18-19) or ("properly") "further, plus, in addition" (PE17:69, 90). According to one late source (ca. 1966 or later), an "is very frequently used after a full stop, when an account or description is confirmed after a pause. So in Galadriels Elvish lament […]: An sí Tintallë, etc. [= For now the Kindler, etc…] This is translated by me for, side an is (as here) often in fact used when the additional matter provides an explanation of or reason for what has already been said". Related is the use of an + noun to express "one more"; here an is presumably accented, something the word would not normally be when used as a conjunction or preposition.

ten

for

ten (2) conj. "for", in Fíriel's Song; apparently replaced by an in LotR-style Quenya.

atar

preposition. *for

cesta-

verb. to seek, search for

A verb in notes from 1964 glossed “to seek, search for”, a long form of ces- of similar meaning (PE17/156).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I prefer to use cesta- to mean “to ask” and ces- for “to search”.

to

preposition. on, above; for, on, above; for; [ᴹQ.] in

A preposition appearing as tŏ in Late Notes on Verb Structure (LVS) from 1969 with some difficult-to-read glosses, but apparently including “on” and “above” (PE22/168).

Conceptual Development: The preposition ᴹQ. to appeared in a sentence from around 1948 with the gloss “in”: ᴹQ. lairesse nihare __to__ tarassi, yu unta hrívesse landannar “in the summer I live in the hills as a rule, and come down to the plains in the winter” (PE22/125), but this use of to might be a loose translation of “on”, since otherwise “hills” would just be in the locative. The preposition tó also appeared with a long ó in the second and third versions of the Löa Yucainen poem from 1958: ai __tó__ sí ilyama menta hwirya hondoringe fúmenen istarion “Alas for now all begins to wither in the breath of cold-hearted wizards” (CPT/1297, 1298), but this use is harder to reconcile with to = “on, above”.

A similar preposition ᴱQ. tă “on, above” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√TAHA, and with a long vowel tā was an adverb meaning “high above, high up” (QL/87). In the English-Qenya Dictionary of the 1920s, tá was again an adverb meaning “above”, but this was deleted (PE15/67). Elsewhere in this 1920s dictionary, ta was translated “beside, by, at side” (PE15/70) and “than” (PE15/78). In the contemporaneous Early Qenya Grammar this had the meaning “by, beside”, also used in comparisons where English would use “than” (PE14/48, 81).

Later to “on, above” might be a partial restoration of the 1910s meanings of ta.

á hyamë rámen úcarindor

pray for us sinners

The sixth line of Aia María, Tolkien’s translation of the Ave Maria prayer. The first word á is the imperative particle, indicating that the verb form hyamë “pray” is an imperative. The third word rámen “for us” is combination of the preposition rá “for” (lit. “✱on behalf of”) and the dative men of the pronoun me “us”. The last word úcarindor “sinners” is the plural of úcarindo “sinner”.

Decomposition: Broken into its constituent elements, this phrase would be:

> á hyamë rá-me-n úcarindo-r = “✱do pray for-us-(dative) sinner-(plural)”

Conceptual Development: In the first two versions of the prayer Tolkien suffixed the pronoun lye “you (polite)” to the imperative particle a: alye (I-II). He also used the verb arca (I-II) instead of hyamë (III-IV) for “pray”. He used several different words for the preposition “for”: atar (I), meter (II), hrá (III deleted) and rá, always followed by the pronoun me “us”, sometimes dative (men) and sometimes not (me).

Tolkien considered several words for “sinners”: ulcarindor (I deleted), naicandor (I), naicor (I replacement), naici (II deleted) and úcarindor (IV). In version II of the prayer, Tolkien replaced “sinners” with a subordinate clause: i naici nar “✱[those] who are sinners” (II deleted) &gt;&gt; i naiquear “✱[those] who sin” (II).

Wynne, Smith and Hostetter analyzed the word naiquear as an adjective used as a plural noun: “sinners” (VT43/34). However, since it replaced a verbal phrase, I think it is likelier to be the present tense of an otherwise unattested verb naiqua- “✱to sin”.

sí man i yulma nin enquantuva?

now who the cup for me will refill?

The 8th phrase in the prose Namárië, which is essentially the same as its poetic version, differing only in its more literal translation.

This phrase is interesting in that it places the direct and indirect objects of the phrase (i yulma nin “the cup for me”) in between the subject (man “who”) and the verb (enquantuva “will refill”). This indicates that even in ordinary speech, the normal Quenya subject-verb-object word order was somewhat free, with objects able to appear in other positions.

aldudénië

proper name. Lament for the Two Trees

The title of a lament for the Two Trees of Valinor after they were destroyed by Morgoth (S/76). It was composed by the Vanyarin elf Elemmírë and the title was translated as the “Lament for the Two Trees” (MR/100, 288).

Possible Etymology: This name is very unusual in that it has the letter [d] appearing between two vowels, something usually forbidden by the phonology of Quenya. The first element is clearly Aldu “Two Trees”, the dual form of alda “tree”, also seen in Aldúya “Day of the Two Trees”. The meaning of the second element must therefore be “lament”, but given its phonetic pecularities it is difficult to guess what its form might be as an independent word. Another Late Quenya word for lament is nainië (RGEO/58).

atarmë

for us

atarmë dative (?) pron. "for us" (VT44:18; Tolkien apparently considered dropping this curious form, which in another text was replaced by rá men, rámen; see rá #1)

calma

lamp, a light, device for shining light

calma noun "lamp, a light, device for shining light" (Appendix E, KAL, PE17:123, 180), also name of tengwa #3 (cf. calmatéma), which was also already its name in the mostly pre-classical Tengwar system presupposed in the Etymologies(VT45:18, there spelt "kalma"). In early "Qenya", calma ("k") meant"daylight" _(LT1:254; in MC:213, the word is translated "light").Plural instrumental calmainen ("k") "lights-by", by lights (MC:216)_

ces-

to search (for something), to examine (something) in order to find (something)

ces- (Þ) ("k"), "to search (for something), to examine (something) in order to find (something)"; the root meaning is given as "enquire of, question, examine" (something). Cesë parma "to look in a book" (for a passage or information required); here the aorist stem cesë is used as infinitive. Notice that ces- here takes a simple direct object parma (not locative *parmassë, despite the translation). Past tense cense (Þ) given, replacing the phonologically expected form centë (also cited). (PE17:156)

cesta-

verb. to seek, search for

cesta- ("k") vb. "to seek, search for" (PE17:156)

helda

friendly, having love (for)

[helda (2) adj. "friendly, having love (for)" (VT46:3)]

maqua

hand-full; complete hand with all five fingers; a closing of closed [hand] (facing down) for taking; group of five (similar) things

maqua noun "a hand-full; complete hand with all five fingers; a closing of closed [hand] (facing down) for taking; group of five (similar) things"; in colloquial usage also "hand" as a limb (VT47:7, 18-20); dual maquat "group of ten" (VT47:7, 10). Compounded maquanotië = "decimal system" in counting (VT47:10), Lungumaqua "Heavyhand" (VT47:19)

men

(for) us

men (1) pron. "(for) us", dative form of me, q.v.

milya-

verb. long for

milya- (2) vb. "long for" (MIL-IK)

ngwin

for us

ngwin dative pronoun ?"for us" _(VT21:6-7, 10, VT44:36). _Apparently belonging to the 1st person pl. It would be pronounced *nwin* at the end of the Third Age, but since Tolkien in another source implies that the 1st pl. exclusive base ñwe had the "independent" stem we- in Quenya (VT48:10), we must assume that the dative pronoun should rather be wen**, or in Exilic Quenya *ven. The form ngwin may reflect another conceptual phase when Tolkien meant the nasal element of ñwe to be preserved in Quenya as well. The vowel i rather than e is difficult to account for if the base is to be (ñ)we. In VT49:55, Carl F. Hosttetter suggests that ngwen rather than ngwin may actually be the correct reading of Tolkiens manuscript.

nin

to me, for me

nin pron. "to me, for me", dative of ni (FS, Nam). Sí man i yulma nin enquantuva? "Now who will refill the cup for me?" (Nam), nás mara nin *"it is good to me" = "I like it" (VT49:30), ecë nin carë sa* "it-is-open for me to do it" = "I can do it" (VT49:34). See also ninya**.

raxa

drag of any large, flat vehicle on wheels or rollers for hauling stone or other weighty material

raxa noun "a drag of any large, flat vehicle on wheels or rollers for hauling stone or other weighty material" (PE17:28)

saca-

verb. pursue, look for, search

saca- ("k") (1) vb. "pursue, look for, search" (QL:81; pa.t. sácë.)

ten

to them, for them

ten (1) pron. in dative "to them, for them" (VT49:14), also tien, téna. See te.

tennoio

for ever

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

tien

for them

tien would seem to be a dative pronoun *"for them". Whether this is somehow to be derived from the pronoun te "they, them", or whether it is the dative form of an otherwise unattested 3rd person pl. pronoun *tië, remains unclear. (VT43:12, 21) Ten (q.v.) as the straightforward dative form of te is attested elsewhere.

tinga-

verb. to go (for a long while)

A verb glossed “go (for a long while)” in Late Notes on Verb Structure (LVS) from 1969 derived from a never-before-seen root √TIG and via nasal-infixion of the root, but an “X X” was written in the margins next it which seems to indicate this was a transient idea (PE22/157 and note #70).

tulta-

verb. send for, fetch, summon

tulta- vb. "send for, fetch, summon" (TUL). Tultanelyes "you summoned him", changed by Tolkien to leltanelyes "you sent him" (possibly tulta- was meant to have the meaning "send" here, but Tolkien decided to use another word) (VT47:22)

ullumë

not for ever

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

vanimelda

the highest word of praise for beauty

vanimelda adj., said to be "the highest word of praise for beauty", with two interpretations that were apparently considered equally valid and simultaneously true: "beautiful and beloved" (vanima + melda, with haplology), i.e. "movingly lovely", but also "elven-fair" (fair as an Elf) (vanima + elda). The word was also used as the second name of Arwen. (PE17:56, Second Edition LotR1:II ch. 16).

véna

for us

véna pron. "for us", (long) dative form of ve # 2, q.v.

yan

for/to which

yan relative pronoun in dative "for/to which" or "for/to whom" (PE16:90, 92, 96). Used for "to whom" in the poem Nieninque; according to the system described elsewhere, which distinguishes personal ye "who" from impersonal ya "which", "to whom" would be *yen instead. A wholly distinct ya(n) seems to appear as an ephemeral word for "as" in one version of the Quenya Lord's Prayer; see ya #2 (VT43:16, VT49:18)

ómen

on/for us

ómen prep. + pron. ?"on/for us" (órava ómen "have mercy on us", VT44:12, changed by Tolkien from the simple dative form men "for us", then replaced by (o)messë)
