The Gnomish form is Danigwethil (dв ‘high’), but the second element seems to be different, since GL gives a word nigweth ‘storm (properly of snow, but that sense has evaporated)’.

Tanyasalpл Translated in the text ‘the bowl of fire’ (p. 187). salpa ‘bowl’ is given in QL under a root SLPL, with sulp- ‘lick’, salpa ‘take a sup of’, sulpa ‘soup’. Tanya is not in QL; GL has tan ‘firewood’, tantha- ‘kindle’, tang ‘flame, flash’, and Tanfa ‘the lowest of all airs, the hot air of the deep places’.

Tбri-Laisi For Tбri see Qalmл-Tб. In QL the root LAYA ‘be alive, flourish’ has derivatives lairл ‘meadow’, laiqa ‘green’, laito and laisi both meaning ‘youth, vigour, new life’. The Gnomish words are laib (also glaib) ‘green’, laigos ‘greenness, ="Q." laiqassл‘, lair (also glair) ‘meadow’. The following note is of great interest: ‘Note Laigolas="green-leaf" [see Gar Lossion], becoming archaic because of final form becoming laib, gave Legolast i.e. keen-sight [last ‘look, glance’, leg, lкg ‘keep, piercing’]. But perhaps both were his names, as the Gnomes delighted to give two similar-sounding names of dissimilar meaning, as Laigolas Legolast, Tъrin Turambar, etc. Legolas the ordinary form is a confusion of the two.’ (Legolas Greenleaf appears in the tale of The Fall of Gondolin; he was an Elf of Gondolin, and being night, sighted he led the fugitives from the city over the plain in the dark. A note associated with the tale says that ‘he liveth still in Tol Eressлa named by the Eldar there Laiqalassл’.)

Tarn Fui See Moritarnon, Fui.

Tavari In the list of fays referred to under Nandini the Tavari are ‘fays of the woods’. In QL tavar (tavarni) ‘dale-sprites’ is derived from a root TAVA, whence also tauno ‘forest’, taulл ‘great tree.’, tavas ‘woodland’. GL has tavor ‘a wood-fay’, taur, tavros ‘forest’ (Tavros also a proper name, ‘chief wood-fay, the Blue Spirit of the Woods’. Later, Tavros became a name of Oromл, leading through Tauros to the form Tauron in The Silmarillion).

Tavrobel This is given in GL with the translation ‘wood-home’ (see Tavari). The element pel is said to be ‘usual only in such place-names as Tavrobel, and means ‘village, hamlet, -ham’. In a separate note elsewhere an additional Gnomish name Tavrost is given, and Qenya names Tavaros(sл), Taurossл. Tavrost evidently contains rost ‘slope, hillside, ascent’, with associated words rosta ‘ascent’ (Rost’ aura ‘Sunrise’), ront ‘high, steep’, ascribed to a stem r , oro-. These are etymological variants of words given under Kalormл.

Telelli This term, which occurs once only in the Tales (p. 19), is obscure. In QL, in early entries, a complex of words is given all of which mean ‘little elf’: these include Teler and Telellл, and the adjectives telerлa and telella. There is no suggestion of any distinction between them. An isolated note states that young Elves of all clans who dwelt in Kфr to perfect their arts of singing and poetry were called Telelli; but in another place Telellin, a dialect, appears to be used instead of Telerin. See Teleri.

Teleri See Telelli. In GL appears Tilith ‘an elf, a member of the first of the three tribes of the fairies or Eldar; plural Tilthin’. The later meaning of Teleri, when it became the name of the Third Tribe, was already potentially present: QL gives a root TEL + U with derivatives telu- ‘to finish, end’, telu (noun), telwa ‘last, late’, with the suggestion that this was perhaps an extension of root TELE ‘cover in’ (see Telimektar). In GL these meanings ‘cover-in—close—finish’ are expressly assigned to the root TEL-: telm ‘roof, sky’, teloth ‘roofing, canopy, shelter’, telu- ‘to close, end, finish’, telu ‘end’.

Telimektar In QL Telimektar, Telimbektar is glossed ‘Orion, literally Swordsman of Heaven’, and is given under the root TELE ‘cover in’, together with tel ‘roof’, telda ‘having a roof’, tel1imbo ‘canopy; sky’, etc. -mektar probably derives from the root MAKA, see Makar. The Gnomish form is Telumaithar.

In the Valar name-list he is called also Taimondo. There are substantial notes on this name in both dictionaries, which appear to have been entered at the same time. In QL Taimondo and Taimordo, names of Telimektar, together with Taimл, Taimiл ‘the sky’, were entered under the root TAHA (see Qalmл-Tбri). The Gnomish equivalent is Daimord (dai, daimoth ‘sky, heaven’), who appears also in the GL entry concerning Inwл’s son Ingil (Gil, Sirius): he rose into the heavens in the likeness of a great bee and ‘followed Daimord’ (see Ingil). But the word mordo ‘warrior, hero’ in Qenya was actually a borrowing from Gnomish mord, and the true Quenya equivalent of mord was mavar ‘shepherd’—this being the original meaning of the Gnomish word also, which developed that of ‘man, warrior’ through its use in poetry after it had become obsolete in prose and speech. Thus Daimord originally meant ‘Shepherd of the Sky’, as did the original Qenya name Taimavar, altered under the influence of the Gnomish name to Taimondo, Taimordo.

Telimpл Not in QL Under root TELPE, which has however telempл=telpл ‘silver’. Gnomish words are celeb ‘silver’, celebrin ‘of silver’, Celebron, Celioth names of the Moon. See Ilasluntл.

Tevildo Given in QL under root TEFE (with derivatives teve- ‘to hate’, tevin, teviл ‘hatred’) and explained as ‘the Lord of Cats’ (see p. 47). The Gnomish form is Tifil, ‘Prince of Cats’.

Tilkal A name made up of the initial sounds of six names of metals (see p. 100 and footnote). For tambл ‘copper’ see Aulл, and for ilsa ‘silver’ see Ilasluntл. Latъken ‘tin’ is given as a separate entry in QL, with latukenda ‘of tin’ the Gnomish form is ladog. Kanu ‘lead’, kanuva ‘leaden’ are placed under a root KANA in QL. For anga ‘iron’ see Angamandi, and for laurл ‘gold’ see Laurelin.

Timpinen The name stands in QL as the only derivative of a root TIFI, but under root TIPI are given timpл ‘fine rain’, timpinл ‘spray’, etc. See Tinfang.

Tinfang The entry in GL is: ‘Tinfing or Tinfang the fluter (surnamed Gwarbilin or Birdward), a fay; cf. Q. timpinen a fluter (Timpando, Varavilindo)’. Other Gnomish words are tif- ‘whistle’, timpa- ‘ring, jingle’, timpi ‘little bell’, timp ‘hoot, note of a flute’, tifin ‘small flute’. The first element in Gwarbilin is seen also in Amon Gwareth ‘Hill of Watch’, which occurs in the tale of The Fall of Gondolin; the second is bilin(c) ‘sparrow, small bird’.

Tinwл Linto, Tinwelint GL has: ‘Tinweg (also Lintinweg) and more usually Tinwelint, ="Q." Tinwл Linto; originally leader of the Solosimpi (after led by Ellu), but became King of the Lost Elves of Artanor’. The first element of the name is derived from TIN-, with such derivatives as tim ‘spark, gleam, (star)’, tintiltha– ‘twinkle’, tinwithli ‘star-cluster, constellation’. The second element is possibly Gnomish lint ‘quick, nimble, light’—which my father referred to in his essay ‘A Secret Vice’ (The Monsters and the Critics and Other Essays, 1983, p. 205) as a word he remembered from a very early stage of his linguistic constructions. The name is not in QL either in the earlier form (Linwл Tinto, p. 130) or the later, but under root TINI are tinwл ‘star’, tint ‘(silver) spark’, etc., and also lintitinwл ‘having many stars’, the first element of this being a multiplicative prefix li-, lin-. Cf. Tinwetбri.

Tinwetбri ‘Queen of Stars’. For the elements of this name see Tinwл Linto, Qalmл-Tбri. The corresponding Gnomish name is Tinturwin with a different second element (see Meril-i-Turinqi). Varda is also called Timbridhil, Timfiril, with the same first element (Bridhil being the Gnomish name of Varda), and Gailbridh(n)ir, which contains gail ‘star’ (corresponding to Qenya нlл in Нlivarda, not found in QL.

Tol Eressлa Under root TOLO OL has derivatives tol ‘island; any rise standing alone in water, plain of green, etc.’, tolmen ‘boss (of shield), isolated round hill, etc.’, tolos ‘knob, lump’, tуlл ‘centre’, and other words. GL gives tol ‘an isle with high steep coasts’.

Eressлa a given in QL under root ERE (distinct from that seen in Eruman) ‘remain alone’: er ‘only, but, still’, eressл ‘singly, only, alone’, eressлa ‘lonely’, erda ‘solitary, deserted’, erin ‘remains’ In Gnomish the Lonely Isle is Tol Erethrin (er ‘one’, ereth ‘solitude’, erethrin ‘solitary, lonely’ etc.)

Tolli Kuruvar (On the ‘World-Ship’ drawing, ‘the Magic Isles’, pp. 84–5. For Tolli see Tol Eressлa. QL has a group kuru ‘magic, wizardry’, kuruvar ‘wizard’, kuruni ‘witch’, with a note: ‘of the good magic’. GL has curu ‘magic’, curug ‘wizard’, curus ‘witch’.

TomboTombo ‘gong’ is derived in QL from a root TUMU ‘swell (with idea of hollowness)’, together with tumbл ‘trumpet’, tumbo ‘dark vale’, tumna ‘deep, profound, dark or hidden’ (see Utumna). Words in Gnomish are tыm ‘valley’, tum ‘hollow’, tumli ‘dale’, tumbol ‘valley-like, hollow’, tumla- ‘hollow out’.

Tuilйrл QL, root TUYU: tuilл ‘Spring, literally a budding—also collectively: buds, new shoots, fresh green’, Tuilйrл ‘Spring’, and several other words, as tuilindo ‘(spring-singer), swallow’. Gnomish forms are tuil, tuilir ‘Spring’ (with the note that Tuilir = Vбna); but Vбna is also called Hairen ‘Spring’, presumably connected with hair ‘punctual, timely’, hai ‘punctually’, haidri ‘forenoon’.

Tuivбna See Tuilйrл, Vбna.

tulielto, &c.Tulielto is translated ‘they have come’ (p. 114), and I. Eldar tulier ‘the Eldar have come’ (ibid.); I·kal’ antъlien is translated ‘Light hath returned’ (p. 184). QL under root TULU ‘fetch, bring, bear; move, come’ has the verb tulu– of the same meaning, also tulwл pillar, standard, pole’, tulma ‘bier’. GL has tul– ‘bring; come’, tultha– ‘lift, carry’.

Tulkas QL gives the name under root TULUK, with tulunka ‘steady, firm’, tulka– ‘fix, set up, establish’. The Gnomish form is Tulcus (-os), with related words tulug ‘steady, firm’, tulga– ‘make firm, settle, steady, comfort’.

Tulkastor The name does not appear in the dictionaries (nor the precedent forms, Tulkassл, Turenbor, p. 22); see Tulkas, Meril-i-Turinqi.

TuorTuor is not given in the dictionaries, but it is probably derived (since the name is also written Tыr) from the root TURU ‘be strong’ see Meril-i-Turinqi.

Turgon Neither Turondo nor Gnomish Turgon are given in the dictionaries, and beyond the likelihood that the first element is from the root TURU (see Meril-i-Turinqi) these names cannot be explained.

Turuhalmл ‘The Logdrawing’ (p. 229). A second root TURU (TUSO) ‘kindle’ in QL (differing in the medial consonant from TURU ‘be strong’) has many derivatives: turu-, tunda– ‘kindle’, turu ‘properly="firewood," but used of wood in general’, turъva ‘wooden’, tusturл ‘tinder’, etc. In GL are duru ‘wood: pole, beam, or log’, durog ‘wooden’.

The second element is in Gnomish halm ‘drawing, draught (of fishes etc.)’. The name of the festival is Duruchalmo(s)="Halm" nadhuruthon (Duruchalm was written in the text and struck out, p. 244), translated ‘Yule’ this was changed later to Durufui ‘Yule (night), i.e. Log-night’ (see Fui).

Uin See Уnen. In GL uin is a common noun, ‘whale’, named after Uin ‘Gulma’s great whale’ (Gulma=Ulmo); but apparently (though this entry is rather obscure) the original meaning of uin, preserved in poetry, was ‘wave’. Another Gnomish word for ‘whale’ is uimoth ‘sheep of the waves’ (moth ‘sheep, also ‘1000’, probably originally ‘flock’ mothweg ‘shepherd’).

Uinen See Уnen.

UlmoUlmo is given in QL under the root ULU ‘pour, flow fast’, together with ulu– and ulto– ‘pour’, in transitive and intransitive senses. His name in Gnomish is Gulma, with corresponding verbs gul- and gulta-. In the draft text of The Music of the Ainur he is also called Linqil: see Nielнqui. For other names see Vailimo.

Ulmonan See Ulmo; the second element of this name is not explained.

Ungoliont See Ungwл Lianti.

Ungwл Lianti, Ungweliant(л)1 Under a queried root GUNGU QL gives ungwл ‘spider, especially Ungwл the Gloomweaver, usually Ungwelianti’. The second element is from root LI + ya ‘entwine’, with derivatives lia ‘twine’, liantл ‘tendril’, liantassл ‘vine’. In GL the name as originally entered was Gungliont, as also first written in the text (p. 156); later this was changed to ‘Ungweliont or Ungoliont’. The second element is assigned to root l – (lind ‘twine’).

Uolл KъvionKъvion was changed from Mikъmi (p. 198). The name is not in QL under the root KUVU ‘bend, bow’, which has derivatives kы ‘crescent Moon’, kъnл ‘crescent, bow’. GL gives cы ‘bow, crescent; the waxing or waning Moon’, and also ‘Cuvonweg: Ыl Cuvonweg (="Q." уlл Kъmion), the Moonking’. Under Ыl the Qenya equivalent is however Uolл, and here it is said that the name Ыl is usually in the phrase Ыl · a · Rinthilios; while Rinthilios is glossed ‘the orbed Moon, name of the Moon-elf’ (rinc ‘circular’, noun ‘disc’ rin– ‘revolve, return’).

Ыr The root URU/USU in QL has derivatives uru ‘fire’, ъrin ‘blazing hot’, uruvoitл ‘fiery’, urъva ‘like fire’, urwa ‘on fire’, Ыr ‘the Sun’ (with other forms Ъri, Ъrinki, Urwen), ъrion ‘a name of Fionwл’, urna ‘oven’, usta-, urya– ‘burn’ (transitive and intransitive). The Gnomish form is Aur (aurost ‘dawn’), and also a poetic word Uril. See Fionwл-Ъrion, Urwen.

Urwen, Urwendi In the earlier tales in this book the form is Urwen, becoming Urwendi in the Tale of the Sun and Moon. The original entry in GL was ‘Urwendi and Urwin (Q. Urwen) the maiden of the Sun-ship’, but this was later changed to read ‘Urwedhin and Urwin (Q. Urwendi)’. In QL (see Ыr) Urwen appears as a name of the Sun. In the Valar name-list the Sun-maiden is also called Ъrinki, and this also appears in QL as a name of the Sun.

The element -wen is given in QL under root GWENE: wen and wendi ‘maid, girl’, -wen feminine patronymic, like masculine -ion, wendelл ‘maidenhood’ (see Wendelin). In GL the forms were much changed and confused. The words given have stems in gwin-, gwen-, gweth, with meanings ‘woman’, ‘girl’, etc.; the root seems to have been changed from gweni– to gwedhe-, with reference both to Qenya meril (see Meril-i-Turinqi) and Qenya wendi.

Utumna In QL the root of Utumna (‘lower regions of gloom and darkness in the North, Melko’s first dwelling’) is not given, but cf. the word tumna ‘deep, profound, dark or hidden’ cited under Tombo. In Gnomish the forms are Udum and Uduvna; Belcha (Melko) is called Uduvrin.

Ъvanimor See Vбna.

Vai The root VAYA ‘enfold’ in QL yields Vai ‘the Outer Ocean’, Vaimo or Vailimo ‘Ulmo as Ruler of Vai’, vaima ‘robe’, vainл ‘sheath’, vainolл ‘quiver’, vaita– ‘to wrap’, Vaitya вhe outermost airs beyond the worldв™ etc. In Gnomish the form is Bai, with related words Baithon вhe outer airsв™ baith вarmentв™ baidha вo clotheв™ bain вlad (Q. vaina)в™

Vailimo See Vai. In Gnomish the form is Belmoth (< Bailmoth); there is also a poetic name Bairos. Ulmo is also called in Gnomish i Chorweg a В Vai, i.e. вhe old one of Vaiв™(hГr вld, ancient (only of things still existing)в™ hortha– вrow oldв™ horoth вld ageв™ HГs вld ageв™ a name of Fuil). For -weg see Bronweg.

Vaitya See Vai.

ValahГru (Marginal addition in the text against ValatГru, p. 180.) Not in the dictionaries, but probably to be associated with QL root HERE вule, have powerв™ heru– вo ruleв™ heru вordв™ heri вadyв™ hГrГ вordshipв™

Valar In QL вi>Valar or Valiв™is derived from root VALA, with masc. singular Valon or Valmo and fem. singular Valis or ValdГ; other words are valin, valimo вappyв™ vald– вlessedness, happinessв™

ВВВВВThe Gnomish words are complicated and curious. As first written, there was Ban в god, one of the great Valarв™ plural Banin, and вi>Dorв™Vanion=Dor Banion=Gwalien (or Valinor)в™ All this was struck out. Elsewhere in GL is given the root GWAL вortune, happinessв™ Gwala вne of the gods, including their divine folk and children, hence often used of one of the lesser folk as opposed to Banв™Gwalon and Gwalthi corresponding to Qenya Valon, Valsi; gwalt вood luckв”ny providential occurrence or thought: вњhe luck of the Valarв i В walt ne Vanion (Q. valto)в™and other abstract words, as gwalweth вortune, happinessв™ Of the later interpretation of Valar there is thus no suggestion. See further under VГna.

ValatГru See Valar, Meril-i-Turinqi.

Valinor In QL two forms are given, Valinor and ValinГrГ (the latter also occurs in the text, p. 182), both glossed вsgardв™(i.e. the City of the Gods in Norse mythology). For the Gnomish names (Gwalien, etc.) see Valar.

ВВВВВnГrГ is found in QL under the root N вecome, be bornв™ and is glossed вative land, nation, family, countryв™ also -nor, вhe form in compoundsв™ Other words are nosta– вive birthв™ nosta вirth, birthdayв™ nostalГ вpecies, kindв™ nossГ вin, peopleв™(as in AulenossГ). The Gnomish form is dГr: see Dor Faidwen.

Valmar See Valar, Eldamar.

VГna A derivative of QL root VANA, together with vanГ вairв™ vanessГ вeautyв™ vanima вroper, right, fairв™ Гvanimo вonsterв™(Г-= вotв™, etc. Here also are given Vanar and Vani= Valar, Vali, with the note: вf. Gnomish Ban-в™ See Valar.

ВВВВВVГnaв™ name in Gnomish was GwГn or Gwani (changed later to Gwann or Gwannuin); gwant, gwandra вeautifulв™ gwanthi вeautyв™

VГna-Laisi See VГna, TГri-Laisi.

VansamГrin This name replaced SamГrienв™ road in the text (p. 222).

ВВВВВSee Qalvanda, SamГrien.

Varda In QL the name is given with vard– вule, governв™ vardar вingв™ varni вueenв™ In Gnomish Varda was called Bridhil (and Timbridhil, see TinwetГri), which is cognate with Qenya vard-.

VГ QL gives VГ вame of Fanturв™under root VEHE, but without meaning ascribed or other derivatives. The form in GL is GwГ, changed to GwГ: вame of the hall of Bandoth, Q. VГв™ See Mandos, VefГntur.

VefГntur In GL the Vala himself is called Bandoth GwГ (changed to Bannoth GwГ), Gwefantur (changed to Gwifanthor), and Gwivannoth.

Vene Kemen See Glorvent, KГmi.

Vilna In QL the root VILI (without meaning given) has derivatives Vilna (changed later to Vilya) вlower) airв™ Vilmar вwelling of ManwГв”he upper airs (but not ilu)в™ vilin вiry, breezyв™ vГlГ вentle breezeв™ The words вut not iluв™refer to the definition of ilu in the sense of ilwГ, the middle air among the stars (see ilwГ). ManwГв™ dwelling Vilmar is not named elsewhere.

ВВВВВThe Gnomish names for the lowest air were Gwilfa or FГ; the latter is said to be of unknown etymology. The corresponding Qenya names are given in GL as FГ and Favilna, and these appear in QL under a root FAGA without translation, merely as equivalents of Vilna. Other Gnomish words are gwil– вail, float, flyв™ gwilith вreezeв™ gwilbrin вutterflyв™ these correspond to words in QL under a root GWILI, wili– вail, float, flyв™ wilin вirdв™ wilwarin вutterflyв™ Another name of Manweg as Lord of the Winds, Famfir, is given in GL.

VoronwГ See Bronweg.

Vorotemnar For voro вverв™see Bronweg. Temnar must be from root TEME вieв™ of which no derivative words are listed in QL.

Wendelin This is not in QL, but GL gives Gwendeling (changed later to Gwedhiling) as the Gnomish name corresponding to Qenya Wendelin; вueen of the Woodland Elves, mother of TinГvielв™(the only occurrence of the name TinГviel in the dictionaries). The name must be related to Qenya wen вaid, girlв™and the Gnomish forms given under Urwen.

Wingildi See Wingilot.

Wingilot Under the root GWINGI/GWIGI in QL are wingГ вoam, spindriftв™ wingilot вoamflower, EГrendelв™ boatв™ and wingild– вymphв™(cf. Wingildi). For the element -lot see Lindelos.

ВВВВВGL has the entry: вi>Gwingalos or Gwingli=Lothwinga or Foamflower, the name of EГrendelв™ (Ioringliв™) boatв™also lothwing вoamflowerв™ gwing вavecrest, foamв™ and gwingil вoam-maiden (mermaid, one of the attendants of Uinen)’.

Wirilуmл See Gwerlum.

Wiruin See Gwerlum.

Yavanna In QL this name is given under the root YAVA, together with yavin ‘bears fruit’, yбva ‘fruit’, yбvan ‘harvest, autumn’. The Gnomish form is Ifon, Ivon, ‘especially in the combinations Ivon Belaurin, Ivon Cнmir, Ivon i · Vladorwen’ see Kйmi, Palъrien.
