rhenia-

verb. to stray, wander

A verb in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “to stray” appearing in its Noldorin-style infinitive form rhenio under the root ᴹ√RAN “wander, stray” (Ety/RAN). In the entry for ᴹ√RAM it was glossed “wander”, along with a homonym N. rhenio⁽⁾ “fly, sail” derived from ᴹ✶ramya-. The two verbs collided because ancient my became ny in Noldorin/Sindarin.

Neo-Sindarin: Many Neo-Sindarin writers adapt this verb as ᴺS. renia- “to stray, wander” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, as suggested in HSD (HSD), since the unvoicing of initial r to rh was a feature of Noldorin of the 1930s but not Sindarin of the 1950s and 60s.

rhenia-

verb. to fly, sail

This verb appeared in its Noldorin-style infinitive form N. rhenio in The Etymologies of the 1930s, derived from primitive ᴹ✶ramya- under the root ᴹ√RAM having do with wings (Ety/RAM). The verb was glossed “fly, sail; wander”, but the last gloss “wander” was technically for a separate verb N. rhenio, elsewhere translated “to stray” and based on the root ᴹ√RAN “wander, stray” (Ety/RAN). The two verbs collided because ancient my became ny in Noldorin of the 1930s.

Neo-Sindarin: Many Neo-Sindarin writers adapt this verb as ᴺS. renia- “to sail, fly” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, as suggested by David Salo (GS/282), since the unvoicing of initial r to rh was a feature of Noldorin of the 1930s but not Sindarin of the 1950s and 60s. Didier Willis instead suggested ᴺS. revia- (HSD/revia) assuming that my > ny was also a Noldorin-only change, but there is strong evidence that ancient my became ny in Sindarin of the 1950s and 60s as well, notably √MAY > amya- > anya- > S. ein- “excellent, admirable” (PE17/163), published after Willis made his suggestion.

tala

noun. sail

A word appearing in its instrumental forms talainen or talalínen “with/on wings” in various versions of the ᴱQ. Oilima Markirya from around 1930 (MC/213, 220). In the earliest drafts of the poem, the form was ᴱQ. alainen “upon wings” (PE16/062). In a glossary associated with one of the drafts, Tolkien translated tala as “sail” (PE16/75), perhaps indicating the translation “wings” was metaphorical.

velu

noun. sail

velunte

noun. sail

A word appearing as a noun ᴱQ. velunte “sail” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√VELU “unroll” (QL/100). In the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon, Tolkien compared G. belon “sail” to Q. velu (GL/22), but that could be a reference to the root.

Neo-Quenya: I would retain ᴺQ. veluntë “sail” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√BELU “unroll”.

noun. fly

vil-

verb. to fly, to fly, [ᴱQ.] float, sail

A verb given as {vilin >>} wilin “I fly” in The Etymologies of the 1930s under the root ᴹ√WIL “fly, float in air” (Ety/WIL). Tolkien gave a past form ville that was allowed to stand even after {vilin >>} wilin.

Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. ’wili- “sail, fly, float” under the early root ᴱ√GWILI (QL/104). The contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon had ᴱQ. vil- as the cognate to G. gwil- “sail, float, fly” (GL/45).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would use the form vil- “to fly” in keeping with the general principle that w was pronounced and spelt v in modern Quenya; see the entry for [w] for discussion. For “sail, float” I would use other verbs such as lut-.
