A word for “mist”, but more abstract than hísë (from which it is derived), so closer in sense to “mistiness” (PE17/73). It appeared in the Namárië poem (LotR/377).
Quenya
hísië
mist, mistiness
hísië
noun. mist, mistiness
ar hísië untúpa calaciryo míri oialë
and mist covers the jewels of Calacirya forever
End of the thirteenth and the fourteenth lines @@@
ar hísië untúpa calaciryo míri oialë
and mist covers (lit. down-roofs) Calacirya’s jewels forever
The 14th phrase in the prose Namárië, which is essentially the same as its poetic version, differing only in its more literal translation. There is nothing particularly notable about its word order.
hísië (þ) noun "mist, mistiness" (Nam, SA:hîth, PE17:73), also hísë.
