Early Quenya

nieriltasinwa

proper name. Unnumbered Tears

Qenya cognate of the battle of Nínin-Udathriol “Unnumbered Tears” in the earliest Lost Tales (LT2/84). It initial element is the plural of nie “tear” as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT1A/Nielluin). The remainder seems to be a combination of the negative prefix il- “un-” and the otherwise unattested adjective tasinwa “numbered”, likely related to tanta “number” (QL/90).
