Early Quenya

tol

noun. island, isle

Early Quenya [LT1/085; LT1A/Tol Eressëa; LT1A/Tolli Kuruvar; PE16/139; PE16/147; PME/094; QL/094] Group: Eldamo. Published by

tolli kuruvar

place name. Magic Isles

Islands between Valinor and Middle-earth in a very early map, which Christopher Tolkien equated to the Magic Isles (LT1/64, 84-5). This name is a combination of the plural of tol “island” and a plural adjectival form of kuru “magic, wizardry”, as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT1A/Tolli Kuruvar).

tolli kimpelear

place name. *Twilit Isles

Islands near Valinor in a very early map, which Christopher Tolkien equated to the Twilit Isles (LT1/15, 84-5). This name seems to be a combination of the plural of tol “island” and some otherwise unattested adjective.

tolome

noun. island

A noun in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “island”, a more elaborate form of ᴱQ. tol of similar meaning (QL/94). It also appeared as tolome “island” in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/94).

Early Quenya [PME/094; QL/094] Group: Eldamo. Published by

tolot

noun. pebble, cobble-stone

A word for “pebble, cobble-stone” in the English-Qenya Dictionary of the 1920s (PE15/77). Its etymology is unclear; elsewhere in Quenya ᴹ√TOLOT was connected to the number “eight”, and √TOL with things that stand or stick up.

Early Quenya [PE15/77] Group: Eldamo. Published by

tolda

noun. hill (with a flat top), hill top; town on a hill

A noun in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “hill with a flat top, town on a hill” derived from the root ᴱ√TOLO (QL/94). It also appeared in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa with the glosses “flat hill, town on hill” (PME/94). It appeared in the modified form tolla with the sense “hill top” in various versions of the ᴱQ. Oilima Markirya poem, mostly in various inflected forms (PE16/75; MC/214, 221). There is no sign of this word thereafter.

Early Quenya [MC/214; MC/221; PE16/062; PE16/072; PE16/074; PE16/075; PE16/077; PME/094; QL/094] Group: Eldamo. Published by

tollalinta ruste

upon crumbling hills

The twenty fourth line of the Oilima Markirya poem (MC/214). The first word is the allative plural form of the noun tolla “hill” followed by the plural form of the adjective rusta “crumbling”.

Decomposition: Broken into its constituent elements, this phrase would be:

> tolla-li-nta rust-e = “✱hill-(plural)-upon crumbling-(plural)”

Early Quenya [MC/214] Group: Eldamo. Published by

tolpo

noun. bowl

A word appearing as ᴱQ. tolpo “bowl” in Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s (PE16/142). The Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the 1910s instead had ᴱQ. salpa “bowl” derived the early root ᴱ√SḶPḶ (QL/84).

Neo-Quenya: I would use the later word ᴺQ. tolpo as the Neo-Quenya word for “bowl”, since later ON. salpha from the 1930s was “broth” rather than “bowl” (Ety/SÁLAP).

A word for “pebble” the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s appearing under the root ᴱ√LALA, though Tolkien marked it with a “?” and other derivatives of the root had to do with “babble” (QL/50). This word was also mentioned in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/50).
