limfa

noun. drink of the fairies

A noun appearing as G. limp and longer limpelis in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s with the gloss “the drink of the fairies” (GL/54). Tolkien tentatively revised these in pencil to limfa and limfelis, and these two forms appeared in a name list from this same period (PE15/7). These forms did not appear again, but its Quenya cognate ᴹQ. limpe “wine” appeared in The Etymologies of the 1930s (Ety/LIP).

Doriathrin

mêd

adjective. wet

Mêd is a Doriathrin adjective for “wet” derived from primitive ᴹ✶mizdā, appearing as an element in the mountain name Dolmed “Wet Head” (Ety/MIZD). First the [[ilk|short [i] became [e] preceding the final [a]]], then the [e] lengthened due to the [[ilk|vocalization of [z] before voiced stops]]. It is unclear, though, whether the vowel lengthened directly (as suggested by Helge Fauskanger, AL-Doriathrin/méd), or whether it first became the diphthong [ei] after which [[ilk|[ei] became [ē]]] (the theory used here).

Conceptual Development: After abandoning the Ilkorin language, Tolkien retained the name Dolmed. It is possible Tolkien reconceived of this word as Sindarin, but if so, its Sindarin form should perhaps be ✱mêdh, not mêd, since voiced stops became spirants after vowels in Sindarin. In Silmarillion map revisions from the 1950s-60s, Tolkien did write Dolmeð (WJ/183 section F14), but he never made the corresponding change in the narratives.

Neo-Sindarin: For the purposes of Neo-Sindarin writing, it would be better to use one of the other attested Sindarin words for “wet”, such as nîn.
