tyel

noun. end

A word appearing as ᴹQ. tyel “end” in The Etymologies of the 1930s under the root ᴹ√KYEL “come to an end” (Ety/KYEL). Its plural form tyeldi indicates a stem form of tyeld- (EtyAC/KYEL). In The Etymologies as published in The Lost Road this plural form as incorrectly given as tyelde (LR/366), but Carl Hostetter and Patrick Wynne corrected this to tyeldi in their Addenda and Corrigenda to the Etymologies (VT45/25). The word tyel “end” also appeared a couple times in the 1930s poem Fíriel’s Song (LR/72).

Neo-Quenya: In Tolkien’s later writings, the root √KYEL seems to have been revised to √TEL; see the entry on that root for discussion. Compare also 1959-60 telma “conclusion” vs. 1930s ᴹQ. tyelma “ending”. As such, I would adapt this noun as ᴺQ. tel (teld-) “end”.

helle

noun. sky

A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “sky” derived from the root ᴹ√ƷEL of the same meaning (Ety/ƷEL).

vai(y)a

noun. envelope

A noun for “envelope” in The Etymologies of the 1930s with forms vaia or vaiya, and derived from ᴹ✶wāyā under the root ᴹ√WAY of similar meaning (Ety/WAY). It was used “especially of the Outer Sea or Air enfolding the world within the Ilurambar or world-walls”. It was also the name of a tengwar consisting of a circle with line leading from its bottom out horizontally to the right (EtyAC/WAY), but this tengwar did not appear in The Lord of the Rings.

vista

place name. Air

Name for the region of Air in Silmarillion notes from the 1930s (SM/236). It is simply vista “air as substance” used as a name.

opto

noun. back

A word (noun?) translated as “back” in notes on The Feanorian Alphabet from the 1940s (PE22/50).

Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had a noun ᴱQ. ponte “back, rear” under the early root ᴱ√POT-I (QL/75). Early Noldorin word-lists of the 1920s had ᴱQ. ponte as the equivalent of ᴱN. bón “back” (PE13/139), while Early Qenya word-lists from this same period had ᴱQ. ponte “back” (PE16/136).

Neo-Quenya: In Tolkien’s later writings, the root √OPO was used for “in front” (PE22/168; VT49/32), so I would replace these early “back” words with a neologism ᴺQ. catta “back” based on the later preposition Q. ca(ta) “behind, at back (of place)”.
