Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!
rá
noun. arm
rávi
feminine name. Rávi
rámavoite
adjective. winged, having wings
A word appearing as ᴱQ. rámavoite “winged” or “having wings” in the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the 1910s, an adjectival form of ᴱQ. ráma “wing” (QL/57, 78; PME/57). In the English-Qenya Dictionary it had two forms: rámaite and rámavoite (PE15/79).
Neo-Quenya: Since -itë remains an adjective suffix in later Quenya, I would retain this word as ᴺQ. rámaitë “winged, having wings”.
rána númetar
the moon went down in the West
The fourteenth phrase of the first version of the Oilima Markirya poem (MC/221). Its first word is Rána “moon” followed by the present 3rd-singular masculine form of númeta- “to go down”.
Decomposition: Broken into its constituent elements, this phrase would be:
> rána númeta-r = “✱moon goes-down-he”
Conceptual Development: This phrase appeared in the fourth draft of this poem, with Tolkien considering the forms númetorana >> númetáro for the verb before settling on númetar (OM1d: PE16/62). The phrase remained the same thereafter.
ránuringwi
noun. sun and moon
An (archaic?) dual formation for the “sun and moon” appearing in the Early Qenya Grammar and English-Qenya Dictionary of the 1920s (PE14/76; PE15/75), except that it appears to be a combination of ᴱQ. Rána “moon” and the dual variant of ᴱQ. rinku “orb of the moon”, hence is actually “moon and moon”.
rámali tíne
the wings shining
The eleventh line of the Oilima Markirya poem (MC/213). The first word is the plural of ráma “wing”, followed by the “bare stem” infinitive of the verb tini- “to shine” as suggested by Gilson, Welden, and Hostetter (PE16/84, notes on line #10 and #11), apparently functioning as either an active-participle or a verbal object.
Decomposition: Broken into its constituent elements, this phrase would be:
> ráma-li tíne = “✱wing-(plural) shining”
ráma
noun. wing; arm
rána
noun. Moon
rau
noun. lion
ráqa
adjective. rough
ranka
adjective. broken

anda-ráma
adjective. long-arm(ed); long-wing(ed)
A word for “long-arm(ed)” in the manuscript version of Early Qenya Grammar of the 1920s (PE14/45), changed to “long-wing” in the typescript version (PE14/75). The word appeared with the glosses “long-wing” (PE15/74) or “longwinged” (PE15/79) in the contemporaneous English-Qenya Dictionary. It was a combination of ᴱQ. anda “long” and ᴱQ. ráma which was usually glossed “wing”, but in one place in the 1920s was glossed “arm, wing” (PE16/137).
ahúrasilqi
noun. sun and moon
(a)rauka
adjective. swift, rushing
tinwelindon talalínen
on wings like stars
The eighth line of the Oilima Markirya poem (MC/213). The first word is adverbial plural form of tinwe “star”, followed by the instrumental plural form of tala “sail”, poetically translated “wings” in the English.
Decomposition: Broken into its constituent elements, this phrase would be:
> tinwe-li-ndon tala-lí-nen = “✱star-(plural)-like sail-(plural)-on”
vasse
noun. wing
A word for “wing” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√VASA (QL/100). A similar word ’wasse appeared under the early root ᴱ√GWASA (QL/103). The word vasse “wing” also appeared in the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon (GL/22) and again in Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s (PE16/137), but not thereafter.
