😐 that is... not Quenya... but Isdira
... which is kinda a bad copy of Quenya 😬
*if* it would be Quenya, "Ohtar en Oionaaru [or rather Oionáru]" would mean something like
"Warrior again (look!?) ever-flame-?" (-u being only the genitive ending in a/o-stem-nouns); "en" is the sindarin word for "of" or "from".
"Knights of the Eternal Flame" would rather be something like "Ohtari Oionár(e?)o" in Quenya 🙂
Aaye = qu. Aiya, Vedui is stolen from a sindarin sentence in FoTR ("na vedui" which means "at last"😉 and is the mutated version of "medui" which means "last", has nothing to do with "greetings" as it's used in Isdira;; il'er would be "ilquen" in Quenya, or ?ilquenna in allative; etc 😉

Here is a Quenya wordlist, available for download at : http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/
And more specifically at:
http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/wordlists.htm
Enjoy, the one I am about to post is the Quenya-English version, and the one I recommend highly:
Quettaparma Quenyallo
† = poetic or archaic word (e.g. †él "star", elen being the ordinary word) or a poetic or archaic meaning of an ordinary word (e.g. russë "corruscation, †swordblade"😉, * = unattested form, ** = wrong form, # = word that is only attested in a compound or as an inflected form (e.g. #ahya-), LotR = The Lord of the Rings, Silm = The Silmarillion , MC = The Monsters and the Critics and other Essays, MR = Morgoth's Ring, LR = The Lost Road, Etym = The Etymologies (in LR:347-400), FS = Fíriel's Song (in LR:72), RGEO = The Road Goes Ever On (Second Edition), WJ = The War of the Jewels, PM = The Peoples of Middle-earth, Letters = The Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien, LT1 = The Book of Lost Tales 1, LT2 = The Book of Lost Tales 2, Nam = Namárië (in LotR:398), CO = Cirion's Oath and its commentary in UT:305, 317, Arct = "Arctic" sentence (in The Father Christmas Letters), Markirya = the Markirya Poem and its commentary in MC:221-223; GL = Gnomish Lexicon (in Parma Eldalamberon #11), QL = Qenya Lexicon (in Parma Eldalamberon #12), PE = Parma Eldalamberon, VT = Vinyar Tengwar (PE and VT being journals publishing Tolkien material edited by C. Gilson, C.F. Hostetter, A.R. Smith, W. Welden and P. Wynne; please refer to the individual journals here referenced to determine which editors are involved in any given case), vb = verb, adj = adjective, interj = interjection, pa.t. = past tense, fut = future tense, perf = perfect tense, freq = frequentative form, inf = infinitive, gen = genitive, pl = plural form, sg = singular form. The spelling used in this wordlist is regularized (c for k except in a few names, x for ks, long vowels marked with accents rather than macrons or circumflexes; the diaeresis is used as in most of LotR). The spelling used in the source is usually indicated; for instance, ("k"😉 following a word indicates that the word is spelt with a k instead of a c in Tolkien's text. When s in a word represents earlier Þ (th as in "thing"😉 and it should be spelt with the letter súlë instead of silmë in Tengwar writing (though Tolkien himself sometimes ignored or forgot this), this is indicated by (Þ) immediately following the word in question (see for instance asëa aranion). When n in a word represents earlier ñ (ng as in "thing"😉 and should be spelt with the letter noldo rather than númen in Tengwar writing, this is indicated by (ñ) immediately following the word in question (see for instance Noldomar). When the word is actually spelt with ñ instead of n in the source, this is indicated by ("ñ"😉 immediately following the word in question (see for instance nandë #2).
Wordlist last updated May 10th, 2004
<A>
a (1) vocative particle "O" in a vanimar "O beautiful ones" (LotR3:VI ch. 6, translated in Letters:308); also attested repeatedly in VT44:12 (cf. 15): A Hrísto *"o Christ", A Eruion *"o God the son/son of God", a Aina Fairë *"o Holy Spirit", a aina Maria *"o holy Mary".
a (2) "and", a variant of ar occurring in Fíriel's Song (that also has ar; a seems to be used before words in f-, but it is not known whether this idea is valid in LotR-style Quenya)
a (3), also á, imperative particle: a laita, laita te! "[o] bless them, bless them!", á vala Manwë! "may Manwë order it!", literally *"o rule Manwë!" (see laita, vala for reference); cf. also á tula *"come!" (VT43:14). Alyë (VT43:17, VT44:9) seems to be the imperative particle a with the pronominal suffix -lyë "you, thou" suffixed to indicate the subject who is to carry out the command; attested in the phrase alyë anta *"give thou" (elided aly' in VT43:11, since the next word begins in e-: aly' eterúna me, *"do thou deliver us"😉. The particle a is also present in the negative imperatives ala, #ála or áva, q.v.
a- (1) prefix occurring in the word Atalante, said to denote "complete". Probably just a prefixed stemvowel; cf. a root like ANÁR, said to be derived from NAR. (TALÁT)
a- (2) a prefix occurring in the Markirya poem (Tolkien first used na-, then changed it). It may be prefixed to verbal stems following a noun that is the object of sense-verbs like "see" and "hear" when the verb it is prefixed to describes what happens to this noun, as in man cenuva lumbor ahosta[?] (changed from na-hosta), "who shall see the clouds gather?" (hosta = "gather"😉.
acca ("k"😉 "too" (= excessively, as in "too big"😉 (PE13:108)
Acairis ("k"😉 fem. name, "bride" (LT1:252; in Tolkien's later Quenya, "bride" is rather indis)
acúna ("k"😉 see cúna
Ae (Quenya?) "day" (LEP/LEPEN/LEPEK - ae was written over ar [# 2] in the names of the Valinorean week, but ar was not struck out.)
aha "rage", also name of tengwa #11, earlier called harma (Appendix E)
ahosta see hosta
#ahya- "change", only attested in the past tense: ahyanë (PM:395)
ai! interjection "Ah!", "Alas!" (Nam, RGEO:66; also twice in Narqelion, untranslated.) In one (abandoned) version of the Quenya Lord's Prayer, Tolkien may seem to use ai as a vocative particle: ai Ataremma ?"o our Father" (VT43:10, 13)
aia interjection "hail", variant of aiya (VT43:28)
aica (1) ("k"😉 "sharp" (AYAK) or "fell, terrible, dire" (PM:347; according to PM:363 seldom applied to evil things). In Aicanáro, q.v.
aica (2) ("k"😉 "broad, vast" (LT2:338 - this early "Qenya" form is probably obsoleted by # 1 above)
aicalë ("k"😉 "a peak" (AYAK)
Aicanáro ("k"😉 "Sharp Flame, Fell Fire", masc. name; Sindarized as Aegnor. (So in SA:nár and PM:345; MR:323 has Aicanár. VT41:14, 19 instead gives Ecyanáro as the Q form of Aegnor.)
aicassë ("k"😉 (1) "mountain peak" (AYAK)
aicassë ("k"😉 (2) "pinetree" (GL:17; this "Qenya" word is evidently obsoleted by #1 above.)
ailin ("g.sg. ailinen", in Tolkien's later Quenya dat.sg.) "pool, lake" (AY, LIN1, LT2:339)
#ailinë (nominative uncertain) a "Qenya" word for "shore, beach" (in Tolkien's later Quenya rather hresta). Only attested in inflected forms: sg. ablative ailinello "shore-from" (MC:213), sg. locative ailinisse "on shore" (MC:221), pl. locative ailissen "on beaches" (for *ailinissen?) (MC:221)
ailo "lake, pool" (LT2:339; Tolkien's later Quenya has ailin)
aimenal, aimenel - see lirulin
aina "holy" (AYAN), derived from Ainu. Adopted and adapted from Valarin. According to VT43:32, the word is "obsolete, except in Ainur", apparently suggesting that airë or airëa (q.v.) were the normal term for "holy" in later Quenya. However, Tolkien repeatedly used aina in his translation of the Litany of Loreto: Aina Fairë "Holy Spirit", Aina Neldië "Holy Trinity", Aina Maria "Holy Mary", Aina Wendë "Holy Virgin". He also used Aina Eruontari for "holy Mother" in his rendering of the Sub Tuum Praesidium (WJ:399, FS, SA, VT43:32, VT44:5, 12, 17-18)
Aini feminine form of Ainu (AYAN, LT1:248); see Ainu.
Ainu "holy one, angelic spirit"; fem. Aini (AYAN, LT1:248); "one of the 'order' of the Valar and Maiar, made before Eä"; pl. Ainur attested. Adopted and adapted from Valarin (WJ:399). In the early "Qenya lexicon", ainu was glossed "a pagan god", and aini was similarly "a pagan goddess", but as Christopher Tolkien notes, "Of course no one within the context of the mythology can call the Ainur 'pagan' " (LT1:248). Ainulindalë "Music of the Ainur" (SA:lin #2), the First History (WJ:406), the Song of Creation (AYAN)
aipio "plum tree, cherry tree" (GL:18)
aiqua ("q"😉 "steep" (AYAK)
aiqualin ("q"😉 "tall", plural form (???) (MC:216; this is "Qenya" - but cf. aiqua above.)
aiquen "if anybody, whoever" (WJ:372)
aira (1) "red, copper-coloured, ruddy" (GAY)
aira (2) "holy"; see airë.
aira (3) "old" (MC:214; this is "Qenya"😉
[aira (4) "eternal" (EY, VT45:13)]
airë (1) "holy", #Airefëa "the Holy Spirit" (VT43:37, dative airefëan on the previous page), airetári or Airë Tári "holy queen" (a title of Varda, PM:363), genitive aire-tário "holy-queen's" (Nam, RGEO:67 - but according to PM:363, airë is the noun "sanctity", while aira is the adjective "holy"; VT43:14 refers to an etymological note of "Sept.-Oct. 1957" where airë is said to be a noun "sanctity, holiness", and the adjective "holy" is given as airëa).
airë (2) "sea" (the form airen is given, intended as a genitive singular when Tolkien wrote this; in LotR-style Quenya it would rather be a dative sg.) (AYAR/AIR)
[airë (3) "eternity" (EY, VT45:13)]
airëa "holy"; see airë.
aista (1) adj. "holy" (VT43:37)
#aista- (2) "to bless", verbal stem isolated from the passive participle aistana "blessed" (VT43:30)
aista- (3) "to dread" (GÁYAS, VT45:14; possibly obsoleted by #2 above)
aiwë "(small) bird" (AIWÊ, SA:lin #1); Aiwendil "Lover of Birds" (UT:401)
Aiwenor, Aiwenorë (read *Aiwenórë?) "Birdland" = lower air (AIWÊ)
aiya "hail", as greeting (LotR2:IV ch. 9, see Letters:385 for translation). Variant aia (VT43:28)
'al- "thrive" (GALA; the ' simply indicates that the original initial G has disappeared and needs not normally be included.)
ala, #ála (1) imperative particle á, a combined with the negation lá, -la "not" to express a prohibition (VT43:22; see lá #1). Also with 1st person suffix -lyë (alalyë and álalyë, VT43:10, 22, VT44:8) and 1st person pl. object suffix -më (alamë and álamë, "do not [do something to] us", as in álamë tulya, "do not lead us", VT43:12, 22). In the essay Quendi and Eldar, negative imperatives are rather indicated by áva, q.v., but this form can well coexist with ala, #ála.
ala- (2) negative prefix "not", "un-", reduced to al- before a vowel (VT42:33, GALA, VT45:25), though the example Alcorin would suggest that al- can sometimes appear before a consonant as well. In a deleted entry in Etym, al(a)- was defined as "not" and said to be a "pure negative" (VT45:5). In alahasta, Alamanyar, alasaila, Alcorin.
ala (3) "after, beyond" (MC:221, 214; however, LotR-style Quenya has han and pella "beyond" and apa "after"😉
[ala (4) (also alar! or alla!) "hail, blessed be (thou)". (VT45:5,14)]
[ala (5) "day", also alan "daytime". The forms allen, alanen listed after these words could be inflected forms of them: genitive "of day" and instrumental "by day"? However, Tolkien struck out all of this (VT45:13).]
alaco ("k"😉 "rush, rushing flight, wild wind" (VT45:5 cf. ÁLAK)
alahasta "unmarred" (MR:254)
alalmë "elm, elm-tree" (ÁLAM, LÁLAM, LT1:249)
alalmino "Elm"-something? (Narqelion)
#Alamanya pl. Alamanyar, name of the Elves who started on the march from Cuiviénen but did not reach Aman; = Úmanyar (MR:163)
álamë, see me
[alan, alanen - see ala #5]
[alar! (also ala and alla!) "hail, blessed be (thou)". (VT45:5,14, 26)]
[Aláriel, masc. name = "Eadwine", friend of fortune (but this name is elsewhere rendered into Quenya as Herendil, q.v.) (VT45:26)]
alarca ("k"😉 swift, rapid" (LAK2)
alasaila "unwise" (VT41:13, 18; VT42:33)
alassë (1) "joy, merriment" (GALÁS) [VT42:32; a gloss "mirth" was deleted, VT45:14]
[alassë (2) "hail" or "bless", evidently a synonym of the greeting alar!, q.v. (VT45:26)]
alas (alast-) "marble" (QL:30, GL:39).
alat- prefix "large, great in size". (ÁLAT, cf. VT45:5). In Alatairë.
Alatairë "Great Sea", name of Western Ocean between Beleriand and Valinor, called Belegaer in Sindarin (ÁLAT, AYAR/AIR)
alca ("k"😉 "ray of light" (AKLA-R)
alcantaméren ("k"😉 "made it shine" (with a fem.pl. subject; the ending -ren probably means "they" of women, but the ending does not have to be translated here) (MC:216; this is "Qenya"😉
alcar (so spelt in CO, VT43:37-38, and VT44:32/34; otherwise "alkar"😉 "glory, radiance, brilliance, splendour" (WJ:369, CO, VT43:37-38, AKLA-R; the latter source also lists an alternative longer form alcarë, also occurring in VT44:7/10)
Alcarin "the Glorious", title taken by Atanatar II of Gondor, also name of one of the Kings of Númenor (Appendix A). Is this to be taken as a shorter form of alcarinqua, q.v.?
alcarinqua "radiant, glorious" (AKLA-R [there spelt "alkarinqa"], WJ:412, VT44:7/10); noun Alcarinquë, "The Glorious", name of a star/planet (SA:aglar - there spelt "Alkarinquë", but the Silmarillion Index has "Alcarinquë". The celestial body in question seems to be Jupiter, MR:435). Cf. also Alcarin, q.v.
alcarain ("k"😉 "shining" (pl - sg *alcara?) (MC:221; this is "Qenya"😉
alcarissen ("k"😉 "in light-rays" (a "Qenya" form from MC:221; alcar means "glory" in Tolkien's later Quenya)
Alcorin (k"😉, variant of Ilcorin, q.v. (VT45:5, 25)
alda "tree" (GALAD, GÁLAD, SA, Nam, RGEO:66, LR:41, SD:302, LT1:249, LT2:340, VT39:7), also name of tengwa #28 (Appendix E). Pl. aldar in Narqelion; gen. pl. aldaron "of trees" in Namárië. Etymology of alda, see Letters:426 and UT:266-7. The latter source states that primitive *galadâ, whence Quenya alda, originally applied to stouter and more spreading trees such as oaks or beeches, while straighter and more slender trees such as birches were called *ornê, Quenya ornë - but this distinction was not always observed in Quenya, and it seems that alda became the general word. Place-name Aldalómë *"Tree-night" or *"Tree-twilight" (LotR2:III ch. 4); Aldarion masc. name, *"Son of (the) Trees" (Appendix A). Aldaron a name of Oromë (Silm). Aldúya fourth day of the Eldarin six-day week, dedicated to the Trees (Appendix D). The word seems to include *Aldu, a dual form referring to the Two Trees. The Númenóreans altered the name to Aldëa (presumably < *aldajâ), referring to one tree (the White) only. The dual Aldu seems to occur also in Aldudénië "Lament for the Two Trees" (a strange word, since Quenya does not permit intervocalic d as in this word - perhaps the Vanyarin dialect of Quenya did) (Silm)
Aldalemnar "week of the Trees, Midyear week" (LEP/LEPEN/LEPEK (GÁLAD, YEN) )
Aldaron a name of Oromë (GÁLAD)
aldarwa "having trees, tree-grown" (3AR). See -arwa.
Aldëa, what the Númenóreans called the fourth day of the Eldarin six-day week, dedicated to Telperion, the White Tree (Appendix D). The day was originally called Aldúya, referring to both of the Two Trees, but Númenóreans altered the name to Aldëa (presumably < *aldajâ), referring to one tree (the White) only. (Appendix D) -Early "Qenya" also has an adjective aldëa "tree-shadowed" (LT1:249).
aldëon "avenue of trees" (LT1:249)
[alla! (also alar! or ala) "hail, blessed be (thou)". (VT45:5, 14)]
[allen - see ala #5.]
alma "good fortune, weal, wealth". In a deleted entry in Etym, the glosses were "riches, (good) fortune, blessedness"; in another deleted entries, Tolkien provided the glosses "growth" and maybe "increase" (reading uncertain), also "good fortune, riches" (GALA [ALAM], VT45:5, 13, 14)
almarë "blessedness, 'blessings', good fortune, bliss". In deleted entries in Etym, the glosses provided were "blessedness, prosperity, bliss" (GALA, VT45:5, 14)
almárëa "blessed". In a deleted entry in Etym, the gloss provided was "bless", but this would seem to be a mistake, since the word does not look like a verb. Another deleted entry agrees with the retained entry GALA that almárëa means "blessed" (GALA, VT45:5, 14)
Almaren the first abode of the Valar in Arda, apparently related to almarë "blessedness" (Silm, LR:357)
Almáriel (fem. name) (GALA, VT45:5, 14)
almië "blessedness, 'blessings', good fortune, bliss". In a deleted entries in Etym, the glosses were "blessedness, prosperity, bliss" (GALA, VT45:5, 14)
alqua "swan" (ÁLAK [there spelt alqa, as in LT1:249/LT2:335], SA:alqua, UT:265, VT42:7). The alternative form alquë ("q"😉 mentioned in early material (LT1:249) may or may not be valid in LotR-style Quenya.
Alqualondë "Swan-road, Swan-haven", capital of the Teleri (ÁLAK, LOD, KHOP [there spelt Alqalonde], Silm).
Alquarámë ("q"😉 "Swan-wing" (LT2:335)
alta (1) *"large, great in size" (root meaning) (ÁLAT). Alat- in Alatairë, q.v.
alta (2) "radiance" (VT42:32 - the author of the article does not make it clear if this word is taken from unpublished material or merely isolated from the name Altariel; in the latter case its true Quenya form would be ñalta, according to PM:347)
[alta- (3) "grow" (VT45:13) or "make grow" (VT45:14)]
Altariel "Galadriel", "maiden crowned with a radiant garland" (SA:kal; the form Alatáriel is Telerin; see PM:347)
[alwa "healthy, strong, flourishing" (+ one gloss not certainly legible: ?"well grown"😉 (VT45:14)]
alya "prosperous, rich, abundant, blessed" (GALA). In a deleted entry in Etym, the glosses provided were "rich, blessed"; another deleted entry defined alya as "rich, prosperous, blessed". -GALA, [ÁLAM], (VT42:32, 45:5, 14)
alyë imperative particle with ending -lyë "you"; see a #3.
am- (prefix) "up" (AM2)
ama not glossed, evidently meaning "up" like the prefix am- (UNU)
amaldar ??? (Narqelion; may include aldar "trees"😉
aman "blessed, free from evil". Adopted and adapted from Valarin. (WJ:399) Place-name Aman the Blessed Realm, from the stem mân- "good, blessed, unmarred" (SA:mân). Adj. amanya "of Aman, *Amanian" (WJ:411), nominal pl. Amanyar "those of Aman", Elves dwelling there (with negations Úamanyar, Alamanyar "those not of Aman"😉. Also fuller Amaneldi *"Aman-elves" (WJ:373). Masc. name Amandil *"Aman-friend" (Appendix A, SA:mân)
amandi pl. of óman, q.v. (amandi is evidently a misreading for *omandi) (OM)
Amarië (fem. name; perhaps derived from mára "good"😉 (Silm)
amarto "Fate" (also ambar) (LT2:348; in LotR-style Quenya rather umbar, umbart-)
amatixë ("ks"😉 (dot or point placed above the line of writing) (TIK)
†amaurëa "dawn, early day" (Markirya)
amba "up, upwards" (adv.) (AM2 (UNU) )
ambal "shaped stone, flag" (MBAL)
Ambalar "East" (MC:221; this is "Qenya"😉
ambalë "yellow bird, 'yellow hammer' " (SMAL)
*ambalotsë "uprising-flower", referring to "the flower or floreate device used as a crest fixed to point of a tall [illegible word: ?archaic] helmet". Strangely, the word is asterisked as unattested (WJ:319)
amban "upward slope, hill-side" AM2)
ambapenda "uphill" (adj.) (AM2)
ambar (1) ("a-mbar"😉, "oikumenê [Greek: the earth as the human habitation], Earth, world" (MBAR), related to and associated with mar "home, dwelling" (VT45:33). The form ambaren also listed in the Etymologies was presumably intended as the genitive singular at the time of writing (in LotR-style Quenya it would rather be the dative singular); in the printed version in LR, the misreading "ambaron" appears (VT45:33). Ambar-metta "the end of the world" (EO); spelt ambarmetta in VT44:36.
ambar (2) "doom" (variant of umbar?) in Turambar (SA:amarth); instrumental ambartanen "by doom" (Silm ch. 21, UT:138). The early "Qenya" lexicon has ambar "Fate", also amarto (LT2:348)
ambar (3) "in bosom" (locative -r), nominative "bosom" presumably *amba (MC:213; this is "Qenya"😉
Ambarenya, Ambarendya "Middle-earth" (but the more usual word is Endor, Endórë) (MBAR)
ambaron (ambarón- as in "g.sg. ambarónen", in LotR-style Quenya this is a dative singular) "uprising, sunrise, Orient" (AM2). - In the Etymologies as printed in LR, the form ambaron also appears in the entry MBAR, but according to VT45:33 this is an error for ambaren, apparently intended as the genitive singular of ambar (in LotR-style Quenya it would rather be the dative singular).
Ambaróna place-name; presumably a variant of Ambarónë "uprising, sunrise, Orient" (LotR2:III ch. 4; compare the Etymologies, entry AM2)
Ambarónë "uprising, sunrise, Orient" (AM2)
Ambarto *"upwards-exalted", mother-name (never used in narrative) of Pityafinwë = Amrod (PM:353, 354)

ambo "hill", allative pl. ambonnar "upon hills" in Markirya (ruxal' ambonnar "upon crumbling hills"😉 According to VT45:5, ambo was added to the Etymologies as a marginal note.
ámen, see me
amil "mother" (AM1). Longer variant amillë (VT44:18-19), compounded Eruamillë "Mother of God" in Tolkien's translation of the Hail Mary (VT43:32); if amil is a shortened form of amillë, it should probably have the stem-form amill-. Compounded amil- in amilessë "mothername" (cf. essë "name"😉, name given to a child by its mother, sometimes with prophetic implications (amilessi tercenyë "mother-names of insight"😉. (MR:217).
Amillion "February" (LT1:249; LotR-style Quenya has Nénimë)
ammalë "yellow bird, 'yellow hammer' " (SMAL)
ammë "mother" (AM1)
#amorta- "heave" (literally "up-rise, rise up", cf. orta-; the prefix am- means "up"😉. Only attested as a participle amortala "heaving" in Markirya.
ampa "hook", also name of tengwa #14 (GAP, Appendix E)
ampano "building" (especially of wood), "wooden hall" (PAN; alternative form umpano, VT45:36)
ampenda "uphill" (adj.) (AM2)
ampendë "upward slope" (PEN/PÉNED)
amu "up, upwards" (LT2:335; in Tolkien's later Quenya amba)
amu- "raise" (LT2:335; LotR-style Quenya has orta-)
amun (amund-) "hill" (LT2:335; in Tolkien's later Quenya ambo)
amuntë "sunrise" (LT2:335; Tolkien's later Quenya has anarórë)
an "for" (Nam, RGEO:66) - but the an of the phrase es sorni heruion an! "the Eagles of the Lords are at hand" (SD:290) seems to denote motion towards (the speaker): the Eagles are coming. Etym has an, ana "to, towards" (NÂ1). In the "Arctic" sentence, an is translated "until".
an- intensive or superlative prefix carrying the idea of "very" or "most", seen in ancalima "most bright" (cf. calima "bright"😉, antara "very high, very lofty" and #anyára *"very old" or *"oldest" (the latter form occurring in the so-called Elaine inscription, there with the dative ending -n). Assimilated to am- before p-, as in amparca ("k"😉 "very dry", and to al-, ar-, as- before words in l-, r-, s- (though Tolkien seems to indicate that before words in l- derived from earlier d, the original quality of the consonant would be preserved so that forms in and- rather than all- would result; likewise, we would presumably see forms in amb- if an- is prefixed to words in v- derived from original b, whereas words in v- derived from older w- would show anw- if the intensive prefix is supplied). See also un-. (Letters:279, VT45:5, 36) Regarding the form of the superlative prefix before certain consonants, another, partially contradicting system was also set down in the Etymologies and first published in VT45:36. The prefix was to appear as um- or un- before labialized consonants like p-, qu-, v- (the consonant v preserving its ancient pronunciation b- following the prefix, thus producing a word in umb-), as in- (technically iñ-) before c- and g- (the latter presumably referring to words that originally had initial g-, later lost in Quenya but evidently preserved following this prefix), and as an- otherwise. However, this system would contradict the canonical example ancalima, which would have been *incalima if Tolkien had maintained this idea.
an- prefix "re" in antúlien, q.v. (LotR-style Quenya shows en- instead.)
ana- (1) (prefix) "to, towards" (NÂ1)
ana (2) apparently the imperative "give!", but Tolkien rewrote the text in question (VT44:13)
Anamo "of doom" in Rithil-Anamo, q.v. Nominative "doom" = *anama? or *anan (anam-)?
ananta, a-nanta "and yet, but yet" (FS, NDAN)
Anar "Sun" (ANÁR, NAR1, SA:nár; UT:22 cf. 51); anar "a sun" (Markirya); Anarinya "my Sun" (FS). See also Úr-anar. (According to VT45:6, Tolkien in the Etymologies mentioned anar "sun" as the name of the short vowel carrier of the Tengwar writing system; it would be the first letter if anar is written in Tengwar.) In Anárion *"Sun-son" and Anardil *"Sun-friend", masc. names (Appendix A). Anarya second day of the Eldarin six-day week, dedicated to the Sun (Appendix D). Anarríma name of a constellation: *"Sun-border"??? (Silm; cf. ríma)
#anarcandë "petition" (isolated from anarcandemman, "our petitions", possibly an error for *anarcandemmar) (VT44:8); Tolkien seems to have abandoned this word in favour of #arcandë, q.v.
anat "but" (VT43:23; possibly an ephemeral form)
anarórë "sunrise" (ORO)
anca "jaws, row of teeth" (ÁNAK [there spelt anca in Etym as printed in LR, but according to VT45:5, Tolkien's own spelling in the Etym manuscript was anka], NAK [there spelt anka], Appendix E, SA - despite what Christopher Tolkien says in the entry anca in SA, the Quenya word anca as such does NOT appear in the Sindarin dragon-name Ancalagon, but its Sindarin cognate anc does. See ÁNAK in the Etymologies.) Also name of tengwa #15 (Appendix E). Despite its English gloss, anca is a singular word (in Etym the gloss is indeed "jaw", not "jaws"😉.
Ancalë ("k"😉 "radiant one" or "radiance" = Sun (KAL, VT45:5, 18). In the pre-classical Tengwar system presupposed in the Etymologies, Ancalë was the name of letter #7 (VT45:18), which tengwa Tolkien would later call anga instead - changing its Quenya value from nc to ng. - Another source (VT45:36) cites the word for "radiance, Sun" as incalë ("k"😉, but the form Ancalë is probably to be preferred.
ancalima "most bright, brightest", sc. calima "bright" with a superlative or intensive prefix (LotR2:IV ch. 9; see Letters:385 for translation). Fem. name Ancalimë, *"Most Bright One", also masc. Ancalimon (Appendix A).
anda "long" (adj.) (ÁNAD/ANDA). In Andafangar "Longbeards", one of the tribes of the Dwarves (= Khuzdul Sigin-tarâg and Sindarin Anfangrim) (PM:320); andavë "long", as adverb. (LotR3:VI ch. 4, translated in Letters:308)
andamunda "elephant" ("long-mouth", anda + munda) (MBUD)
andatehta "long-mark" (TEK)
ando "gate", also name of tengwa #5 (AD, Appendix E). A deleted entry in the Etymologies gave Ando Lómen, evidently "Door of Night" (VT45:28; notice "Qenya" genitive in -n rather than -o as in LotR-style Quenya)
-ando masculine agentive suffix, deleted in the Etymologies (VT45:16), but occurring in words Tolkien used later, like #runando "redeemer".
Andolat (hill-name, = S Dolad) (NDOL)
andon "great gate" (andond-, as in pl. andondi) (AD)
Andórë full form of Andor, "land of gift", name of Númenor (SD:247)
andúnë "sunset, west, evening" (NDÛ, Markirya, SA), also in Namárië: Andúnë "West" (but the standard Quenya translation of "west" is Númen) (Nam, RGEO:66) Cf. andu- in Andúnië, Andúril.
Andúnië (apparently a variant form of andúnë) (place-name, a city and port on the western coast of Númenor, said to mean "sunset"😉. (Appendix A, Silm, UT:166, NDÛ/VT45:38)
Andúril "Flame of the West", sword-name (LotR1:II ch. 3)
Andustar the "Westlands" of Númenor (UT:165)
anessë "given (or added) name" (encompassing both epessi and amilessi) (MR:217)
anga "iron", also name of tengwa #7 (ANGÂ, Appendix E, SA, PM:347, LT1:249, 268). In the pre-classical Tengwar system presupposed in the Etymologies, anga was the name of letter #19, which tengwa Tolkien would later call noldo instead (VT45:6). Masc. name Angamaitë "Iron-handed" (Letters:347), Angaráto "Iron-champion", Sindarin Angrod (SA:ar(a) ). See also Angamando. Cf. also Angainor the chain with which Melkor was bound (Silm)
