The place where the earliest Lost Tales were told (LT1/14), a combination of mar “dwelling”, vanwa “lost” and the adjectival form of tyalie “play” (LT1A/Mar Vanwa Tyaliéva).
Quenya
mar vanwa tyaliéva
place name. House of Past (or Departed) Mirth
The Early Qenya name for the “Cottage of the Lost Play” from the 1920s reappeared in some later notes from the late 1940s and early 1950s (PE17/64; PE21/69, 80). In one of these places the name was translated “House of Past (or Departed) Mirth” and was said to be another name for the House of Elrond in Imladris (PE21/80). It is a combination of mar “house”, vanwa “lost” and the possessive form of tyalië “mirth”. It is remarkable that this early name remained the same in Late Quenya as it was conceived after Tolkien finished The Lord of the Rings.
