Middle Primitive Elvish
galas
root. joy, be glad
A root in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “joy, be glad” that is an extension of ᴹ√GALA “thrive” (Ety/GALAS). Its two most notable derivatives were ᴹQ. alasse and N. glass “joy”. The appearance of Q. alassë “happiness” in the so-called “Merin Sentence” (MS), probably written after the publication of The Lord of the Rings, indicates that this root may have remained valid.
gyel
root. *cry of joy or triumph
Qenya
alasse
noun. joy, merriment
The 6th chieftain of the Dúnedain (LotR/1038). The initial element of his name is the prefix ar(a)- “noble” and its final element might be [N.] glass “joy” (as suggested by David Salo, GS/341).
Conceptual Development: In the draft of Appendix A of the Lord of the Rings, his name was first given as Arallas, revised to Araglas (PM/211).
