Vad är meningen med det?
Finns det någon anledning till att behöva en tråd där man bara ska skriva random skit bara för att?
So this Zealot comes to my door, all glazed eyes and clean reproductive organs, asking me if I ever think about God. So I tell him I killed God. I tracked God down like a rabid dog, hacked off his legs with a hedge trimmer, raped him with a corncob, and boiled off his corpse in an acid bath. So he pulls an alternating-current taser on me and tells me that only the Official Serbian Church of Tesla can save my polyphase intrinsic electric field, known to non-engineers as "the soul." So I hit him. What would you do?

<A>
A, AN (indefinite article) – no Quenya equivalent. Elen "star" may thus also be translated "a star" (LotR:94), Elda “Elf” is also the equivalent of “an Elf” (Letters:281). Sometimes Tolkien inserts “a” before a gloss to indicate that a noun rather than a verb is intended: rista “a cut” (RIS), vanta “a walk” (BAT). The word laurë Tolkien translated as “(a) golden light”, indicating that “a” has no equivalent in Quenya (VT49:47). The absence of the definite article i "the" usually indicates that the noun is indefinite (though there are exceptions – see THE).
ABANDON hehta- (pa.t. hehtanë is given) (put aside, leave out, exclude, forsake) –WJ:365
ABHOR feuya-, yelta- (loathe); THE ABHORRED Sauron (Þ) –PHEW/VT46:9, Silm:418, VT45:11
ABIDE mar- (be settled of fixed) (fut. #maruva is attested: maruvan "I will abide"); ABIDE BY himya- (cleave to, stick to, adhere); ABIDING sanda (Þ) (firm, true); LAW-ABIDING sanya (Þ) (regular, normal) (variant vorosanya with a prefixed element meaning "ever"). –UT:317/LotR:1003, KHIM/VT45:22, STAN/VT46:16
ABLE, BE; see BE ABLE
ABOVE: According to VT44:26, Tolkien in one text glosses apa as "above but touching", but apa is normally taken as the preposition "after" instead. For "above", the preposition or "over" may be used.
ABUNDANCE úvë; ABUNDANT úvëa (in a very great number), úmëa (swarming, teaming – but elsewhere a similar word is defined as "evil", so úvëa may be preferred), alya (rich, blessed, prosperous) –UB, VT48:32, GALA
ABUSE (vb, evidently meaning to abuse verbally) naitya- (put to shame) –QL:65
ABYSS undumë –MC:222 cf. 215
ACCOMODATE camta- (sic; the cluster mt seems unusual for Quenya, and while the source does not explicitly say that this word is Quenya, it is difficult to understand what other language could be intended) (to [make] fit, suit, adapt) –VT44:14
ACCOUNT (noun) quentalë (history), lúmequenta (chronological account, history); HISTORICAL ACCOUNT quentasta (any particular arrangement, by some author, of a series of reconds or evidences into a given historical account – not History as such, which is quentalë) –KWET, LU, VT39:16
ACCURSED húna (cursed). –PE17:149
ACRE resta (sown field) –VT46:11 cf. RED
ACROSS arta (athwart) (Note: arta also means "fort, fortress"; the word olla may be a better word for *“across” in Tolkien’s later forms of Quenya; see OVER) –LT2:335
ACT OF WILL nirmë –VT39:30
ACTOR tyaro (agent, doer) –KYAR
ACTUAL anwa (real, true), nanwa (existing, true) –ANA, VT49:30
ACUTE tereva (fine, piercing); ACUTE, ACUTENESS laicë (In the printed Etymologies, a similar word is also the adjective "keen, sharp, acute", but according to VT45:25, this is a misreading; the final vowel of the adjective should be -a, not -ë. However, the conceptual validity of the adjective laica, and therefore also the corresponding noun laicë, is questionable; see PIERCING.) –TER, LAIK
ADAPT camta- (sic; the cluster mt seems unusual for Quenya; while the source does not explicitly say that this word is Quenya, it is difficult to understand what other language could be intended) (to [make] fit, suit, accomodate) –VT44:14

ADHERE himya- (abide by, cleave to, stick to) –VT45:22, cf. KHIM
ADHERING himba (sticking) –KHIM
ADMIRAL ciryatur (only attested as the personal name Ciryatur of an admiral, but the word means *"ship-ruler") –UT:239
ADORN netya- (trim). (Note: netya is also an adj. "pretty, dainty".) SMALL THING OF PERSONAL ADORNMENT netil –VT47:33
ADULT (adj) vëa (manly, vigorous); ADULT MAN vëaner; ADULT MALE nér (ner-, as in. pl neri) (man) –WEG, DER
ADÛNAKHOR Herunúmen –UT:222, Silm:322
AEGNOR Aicanáro (so in Silm:435 and PM:345; MR:323 has Aicanár) (Sharp Flame, Fell Fire)
AFFECT #ap- (given as aorist stem apë) (to concern, to touch one) –VT44:26
AFFECTIONATE méla (loving) –VT39:10
AFFLICTED – be afflicted: moia- (labour). The participle *moiala may then be used to translate "afflicted" as an adjective, describing one who is "labouring" or toiling as a thrall. –VT43:31
AFTER apa (also attested in compounds like Apanónar, see below), #ep- (used in compounds when the second part of the compound begins with a vowel, only attested in epessë "after-name" – see NICKNAME.) This ep- is a shorter form of epë, which means “before” of spatial relationships but “after” of time (since the Eldar imagined time coming after their present as being before them, VT49:12); apa and epë may be seen as variants of the same word. Other variant forms of apa "after" include opo and pó/po (VT44:36, VT49:12). According to VT44:26, the preposition apa may also appear as pa, pá (cf. yéni pa yéni "years after years" in VT44:35), but pa/pá is in other manuscripts defined as "touching, as regards, concerning". THE AFTER-BORN Apanónar (sg #Apanóna) (i.e., an Elvish name of Men, according to WJ:387 "a word of lore, not used in daily speech") –Silm:122/WJ:387, UT:266
AGAIN ata; AGAIN (prefix) en-, (prefix) at-, ata- (back-, re-) (AT[AT])
AGAINST: According to VT44:26, Tolkien in some documents glosses apa or pá as "touching, against", but apa is normally the preposition "after" instead (see AFTER). The allative case in -nna is normally sufficient to express motion towards or against something. Possibly this ending can also take on the meaning of “against” with connotations of enmity and confrontation, as when the pl. allative valannar is used in the phrase *“made war on/against the Valar” (LR:47).
AGE randa (cycle) (as in “the Third Age”; not the age of a person); AGES OF AGES yénion yéni –RAD, VT44:36
AGENT tyaro (actor, doer) –KAR
AGILE tyelca (swift) –KYELEK
AGO yá; LONG AGO andanéya, anda né (once upon a time) –YA, VT49:31
AGONY qualmë (death), unqualë (death; according to VT45:24, Tolkien changed this word to anqualë) –KWAL, VT45:5, 24, 36
AH (interj.) ai (alas) Ai! laurië lantar lassi Ah! golden fall the leaves (Nam)
AIR vista (= air as substance); vilya older [MET] wilya (sky); vilma (lower air) (perhaps changed to vista, but vilma was not struck out in Etym); lindë (tune, song, singing); PUFF OF AIR hwesta (breeze, breath); UPPER AIRS AND CLOUDS fanyarë (skies), AIRY vilin (breezy) –WIS, WIL/LT1:273, LIN, SWES/LotR:1157, MC:223, LT1:273
ALAS (interj.) ai (ah) (Etym also gives a word nai, but this clashes with nai "be it that" in Namárië.); also orro or horro as an "exclamation of horror, pain, disgust: ugh, alas! ow!" –Nam/RGEO:66, NAY, VT45:17
ALIKE véla –VT49:10
ALIVE cuina; BEING ALIVE (noun not adj) cuilë (life) (LT1:257 gives coina, coirëa; see LIVING) –KUY
ALL illi (as independent noun), also ilya (all of a particular group of things, the whole, each, every) (Note: ilya normally appears as ilyë before a plural noun: ilyë tier "abll paths"); ALLNESS, THE ALL ilúvë (the whole). According to early material, ALL THE... (followed by some noun) is rendered by i quanda, e.g. *i quanda cemen "all the earth; the whole earth". ALL THAT IS WANTED fárë, farmë (plenitude, sufficiency) –VT47:30, VT39:20, VT44:9, IL, Nam cf. RGEO:67, Silm:433/WJ:402, QL:70, PHAR/VT46:9
ALLOW lav- (yield, grant); NOT ALLOW TO CONTINUE nuhta- (stunt, prevent from coming to completion, stop short) –DAB, WJ:413
ALONE (see also LONELY, SOLE) er (one, alone, only, but, still), eressë (singly, only, also as noun: solitude) –ERE, LT1:269
ALPHABET tengwanda –TEK
ALSO yando –QL:104
ALTHOUGH (or "nothwithstanding") – Christopher Gilson argues that the word ómu occurring in an untranslated "Qenya" text could have this meaning (PE15:32, 37). If this interpretation is regarded as too uncertain, the idea expressed by phrases involving "(al)though" may be rephrased using ananta "and yet" (e.g. "although the house is small, we love it" > *i coa pitya ná, ananta melilmes = "the house is small, and yet we love it").
ALWAYS illumë (earlier variants of the relevant text also have vora and vorë, forms Tolkien may or may not have abandoned) –VT44:9
ALTOGETHER aqua (fully, completely, wholly) –WJ:392
*AMANIAN (only translated "of Aman" by Tolkien) amanya (which can also mean “blessed”, VT49:41). Cf. also Úmanyar, Úamanyar, Alamanyar "those not of Aman" (the Elves who started on the march from Cuiviénen but did not reach Aman; contrast the Avamanyar, another name of the Avari.) –WJ:411, 373, 370, MR:163
AMBIDEXTROUS ataformaitë (pl. ataformaiti is attested) –VT49:10
AMEN (Hebrew: "truly, certainly, may it be so") násië (another form, násan, was apparently abandoned by Tolkien) –VT43:24, 35
AMLOTH *Ambalotsë (Tolkien asterisked the word because it was not "attested", only a possible Quenya form of Amloth. See "UPRISING-FLOWER".) –WJ:318
AMONG imíca, mici; see also BETWEEN. –VT43:30
AMRAS Telufinwë (meaning "Last Finwë", not the equivalent in sense to his Sindarin name. The short form of his name was Telvo *"Last One". His mother-name [q.v.] was Ambarussa, but this name was not used in narrative.) –PM:353
AMROD Pityafinwë (meaning "Little Finwë", not the equivalent in sense to his Sindarin name. The short form of his name was Pityo *"Little One". His mother-name [q.v.] was Ambarto, or Umbarto, but these names were not used in narrative.) –PM:353
AN see A
ANCIENT yára (old, belonging to or descending from former times) –YA
AND ar. In the phrase eldain a fírimoin “to Elves and Men” (FS), ar is seemingly reduced to a before f, but contrast ar formenna *“and northwards” in VT49:26. (In Sauron Defeated p. ii, the word o is translated "and", but LotR, Silm and Etym all agree that the Quenya word for "and" is ar. A longer variant arë is mentioned in VT43:31.) A suffix meaning "and", -yë, occurs in the phrase Menel Cemenyë "heaven and earth" (VT47:11); this suffix is "normally used of pairs usually associated as Sun, Moon [*Anar Isilyë]; Heaven, Earth [Menel Cemenyë], Land, Sea [*Nór Eäryë], fire, water [*úr nenyë]" (VT47:31). AND YET a-nanta/ananta (but yet) –AR/Nam/FS, VT43:31, NDAN; the etymology of ar is discussed in VT47:31
ANGBAND Angamando (Iron-gaol) (so in MR:350 and Silm:428; Etym has Angamanda, or in deleted material Angavanda). –MR:350, Silm:428, MBAD, VT45:6
ANGELIC POWER Vala (pl. Valar or Vali, gen. pl. Valion is attested in Fíriel's Song); ANGELIC SPIRIT Ainu, f. Aini (holy one, god) –LotR:1157/BAL/FS, AYAN, LT1:248
ANGELN (island in the Danish peninsula) Eriollo –LT1:252
ANGER, ANGRY, see WRATH, WRATHFUL
ANGROD Angaráto –Silm:428
ANIMAL #celva (only pl. celvar is attested, translated "animals, living things that move" in Silm appendix and WJ:341); laman (pl. lamni or lamani) ("usually only applied to four-footed beasts, and never to reptiles and birds"); MALE ANIMAL hanu (male) –Silm:52/53,/405:3AN, WJ:416
ANNOUNCEMENT canwa (order) –PM:362
ANOTHER enta (one more). (Note: a homophone means "that yonder"). See also OTHER. –VT47:15
ANYBODY – if anybody: aiquen (whoever); ANYONE mo (but this is also used as an impersonal pronoun “one”) –WJ.372, VT49:32
APPLE orva –PE13:116
APPROPRIATE (to a special purpose or owner) #sat- (set aside). The verb #sat- is cited in the form "sati-", evidently including the connecting vowel of the aorist, as in *satin "I appropriate". –VT42:20
APRIL Víressë –LotR:1144/1146

AR-ZIMRAPHEL Tar-Míriel –UT:224, Silm:324
AR-ZIMRATHÔN Tar-Hostamir –UT:222
ARCH cú (crescent). –KU3
ARCTURUS (a star) Morwinyon (said to mean "the glint at dusk" or "glint in the dark") –LT1:260
ARE see BE
ARGON Aracáno –PM:345
ARM ranco (stem *rancu-, pl. ranqui) (LT2:335 gives rá [there spelt râ], but this is apparently rendered obsolete by a later word in Tolkien’s conception: In Etym, rá is glossed "lion".) TRUNCATED ARM, see STUB, STUMP. –RAK
ARMY hossë (band, troop) –LT2:340
ARNOR Arnanor, Arnanórë ("royal land") –Letters:428
ARRANGEMENT pano (plan). Note: the word also means “piece of shaped wood”. –QL.72
ARRIVE: The verb ten- is used for this meaning in one source (present tense téna “is on point of arrival, is just coming to the end”). Other attested forms are tenë (aorist; 1st person tenin), pa.t. tennë “arrived, reached” (“usually used with locative not allative”: tennen sís “I arrive[d] here”), perfect eténië, future tenuva “will arrive”. Tolkien subsequently changed ten- to men-, but the latter is elsewhere ascribed the meaning “go”. –VT49:23-24
ARROW pilin (pilind-, as in the pl. pilindi) –PÍLIM
ART Carmë (making, production); BLACK ARTS núlë (sorcery). (The word is spelt “ñúle” in the source, reflecting the older pronunciation; in Tengwar spelling the initial nasal should therefore be represented by the letter Noldo). –UT:396, PE17:125
ARTIFICIAL CAVE hróta (dwelling underground, rockhewn hall) –PM:365
AS (prep) ve (like). The longer variant sívë appears to introduce a comparison with something that is near to the point or thought of the speaker, whereas tambë introduces a comparison with something remote, as in Tolkien's translation of one line from the Lord's Prayer: cemendë tambë Erumandë "on earth as in heaven" ("heaven" being remote – we may theorize that "in heaven as [here] on earth" would translate as *Erumandë sívë cemendë, since "earth" would represent the position of the speaker). NOTE: a homophone sívë means "peace". The word yan, related to the relative ya “which”, is also defined “as” in one text (VT49:18). AS REGARDS pa, pá (concerning, touching). AS USUAL ve senwa (also ve senya, but see USUAL). –Nam/RGEO:66, 67, VT43:12, 38, VT44:26, VT49:22
ASCENT rosta, ASCENSION orosta –LT1:267, 256
ASGARD Valinor, Valinórë (Tolkien actually uses this gloss of Valinor, as Asgard is the City of the Gods in Norse mythology) –LT1:272
ASIDE – stand aside! heca! – also with pronominal affixes: sg hecat, pl hecal "you stay aside!" (be gone!) LEAVING ASIDE hequa (not counting, excluding, except) –WJ:364, 365
*ASK #maquet- (only pa.t. maquentë is attested. The word is not translated, but undoubtedly means "asked": 'Mana i•coimas in•Eldaron?' maquentë Elendil [PM:403]. The question itself is translated "What is the coimas of the Eldar?", so the rest must be "Elendil asked". Furthermore, maquentë is transparently quentë "said" with the interrogative element ma [PM:357] prefixed.) ASK FOR – see DEMAND.
ASLEEP lorna –LOS
ASSEMBLE (transitive) comya- (gather), hosta- (gather, collect) –PE17:158, MC:223
ASSOCIATE (noun) otorno (sworn brother) osellë (Þ) (sworn sister) –TOR, THEL
ASTRONOMER meneldil –Letters:386
AT sé, se (the form with a long vowel may be preferred since se is apparently also a 3rd person pronoun) (in). The locative case may also express “at”, e.g. lúmissen “at the times”. –VT43:30, 34, VT49:47
ATHELAS (a healing plant) asëa; see KINGSFOIL. –PE148
ATHWART arta (across) (Note: arta also means "fort, fortress"); GO ATHWART tara- (cross) –LT2:335, 347
AUGER teret (gimlet) –LT1:255
AUGMENT (vb.) yantya- (add) –PE15:68
AUGUST Urimë (so in LotR; UT has Úrimë) –LotR:1144, UT:302/470
AUTHORITY Máhan (pl Máhani is given, but seems perfectly regular). Tolkien once stated that Valar should strictly be translated "the Authorities" (MR:350), but Vala obviously cannot be used to translate "authority" in general; it was used only of the Valar themselves (WJ:404). Cf. also adj. valya "having (divine) authority or power". Máhani was adopted from Valarin and originally probably referred to the Valar themselves. We are not told whether Máhan could or should be applied to a non-divine authority (at least it should not be capitalized if so used). Note: Máhan means *"Supreme One" rather than "authority" as an abstract. –MR:350, BAL, WJ:399/402
AUTUMN yávië (harvest – in the Calendar of Imladris, yávië was a precisely defined period of 54 days, but the word was also used without any exact definition), lasselanta ("leaf-fall", used of the beginning of winter or as a synonym of quellë; see FADING. Also spelt lasse-lanta with a hyphen), narquelion ("fire-fading" – this word from Fíriel's Song and Etym seems to correspond to narquelië in LotR, but the latter is the name of the month corresponding to our October.) LT1:273 has yávan "autumn, harvest", but this word may be obsoleted by yávië. –LotR:1142, 1144, 1145/Silm:439/LT1:254, DAT, FS, NAR/KWAL, Letters:382
AVENGE ahtar- or accar- (do back, react; requite) –PE17:166
AVENUE OF TREES aldëon –LT1:249
AWAKE coiva- (so in LT1:257; read *cuiva- in Tolkien's later Quenya? Cf. the following
AWAKENING (noun) cuivië (obsoleting coivië in LT1:257), cuivë; AWAKENING (adj) cuivëa –KUY/Silm:429
AWKWARD hranga (hard; stiff, difficult). Note: hranga- is also a verb “thwart”. –PE17:154, 185
AWAY oa, oar (viewed from the point of view of the thing, person, or place left). Oar is used of movement only, as in "I went away". See also GO AWAY. –WJ:366 cf. 361, VT39:6.
AWNING teltassë –GL:70
AXE pelecco –LT2:346

AGO yá; LONG AGO andanéya, anda né (once upon a time) –YA, VT49:31
AGONY qualmë (death), unqualë (death; according to VT45:24, Tolkien changed this word to anqualë) –KWAL, VT45:5, 24, 36
AH (interj.) ai (alas) Ai! laurië lantar lassi Ah! golden fall the leaves (Nam)
AIR vista (= air as substance); vilya older [MET] wilya (sky); vilma (lower air) (perhaps changed to vista, but vilma was not struck out in Etym); lindë (tune, song, singing); PUFF OF AIR hwesta (breeze, breath); UPPER AIRS AND CLOUDS fanyarë (skies), AIRY vilin (breezy) –WIS, WIL/LT1:273, LIN, SWES/LotR:1157, MC:223, LT1:273
ALAS (interj.) ai (ah) (Etym also gives a word nai, but this clashes with nai "be it that" in Namárië.); also orro or horro as an "exclamation of horror, pain, disgust: ugh, alas! ow!" –Nam/RGEO:66, NAY, VT45:17
ALIKE véla –VT49:10
ALIVE cuina; BEING ALIVE (noun not adj) cuilë (life) (LT1:257 gives coina, coirëa; see LIVING) –KUY
ALL illi (as independent noun), also ilya (all of a particular group of things, the whole, each, every) (Note: ilya normally appears as ilyë before a plural noun: ilyë tier "abll paths"); ALLNESS, THE ALL ilúvë (the whole). According to early material, ALL THE... (followed by some noun) is rendered by i quanda, e.g. *i quanda cemen "all the earth; the whole earth". ALL THAT IS WANTED fárë, farmë (plenitude, sufficiency) –VT47:30, VT39:20, VT44:9, IL, Nam cf. RGEO:67, Silm:433/WJ:402, QL:70, PHAR/VT46:9
ALLOW lav- (yield, grant); NOT ALLOW TO CONTINUE nuhta- (stunt, prevent from coming to completion, stop short) –DAB, WJ:413
ALONE (see also LONELY, SOLE) er (one, alone, only, but, still), eressë (singly, only, also as noun: solitude) –ERE, LT1:269
ALPHABET tengwanda –TEK
ALSO yando –QL:104
ALTHOUGH (or "nothwithstanding") – Christopher Gilson argues that the word ómu occurring in an untranslated "Qenya" text could have this meaning (PE15:32, 37). If this interpretation is regarded as too uncertain, the idea expressed by phrases involving "(al)though" may be rephrased using ananta "and yet" (e.g. "although the house is small, we love it" > *i coa pitya ná, ananta melilmes = "the house is small, and yet we love it").
ALWAYS illumë (earlier variants of the relevant text also have vora and vorë, forms Tolkien may or may not have abandoned) –VT44:9
ALTOGETHER aqua (fully, completely, wholly) –WJ:392
*AMANIAN (only translated "of Aman" by Tolkien) amanya (which can also mean “blessed”, VT49:41). Cf. also Úmanyar, Úamanyar, Alamanyar "those not of Aman" (the Elves who started on the march from Cuiviénen but did not reach Aman; contrast the Avamanyar, another name of the Avari.) –WJ:411, 373, 370, MR:163
AMBIDEXTROUS ataformaitë (pl. ataformaiti is attested) –VT49:10
AMEN (Hebrew: "truly, certainly, may it be so") násië (another form, násan, was apparently abandoned by Tolkien) –VT43:24, 35
AMLOTH *Ambalotsë (Tolkien asterisked the word because it was not "attested", only a possible Quenya form of Amloth. See "UPRISING-FLOWER".) –WJ:318
AMONG imíca, mici; see also BETWEEN. –VT43:30
AMRAS Telufinwë (meaning "Last Finwë", not the equivalent in sense to his Sindarin name. The short form of his name was Telvo *"Last One". His mother-name [q.v.] was Ambarussa, but this name was not used in narrative.) –PM:353
AMROD Pityafinwë (meaning "Little Finwë", not the equivalent in sense to his Sindarin name. The short form of his name was Pityo *"Little One". His mother-name [q.v.] was Ambarto, or Umbarto, but these names were not used in narrative.) –PM:353
AN see A
ANCIENT yára (old, belonging to or descending from former times) –YA
AND ar. In the phrase eldain a fírimoin “to Elves and Men” (FS), ar is seemingly reduced to a before f, but contrast ar formenna *“and northwards” in VT49:26. (In Sauron Defeated p. ii, the word o is translated "and", but LotR, Silm and Etym all agree that the Quenya word for "and" is ar. A longer variant arë is mentioned in VT43:31.) A suffix meaning "and", -yë, occurs in the phrase Menel Cemenyë "heaven and earth" (VT47:11); this suffix is "normally used of pairs usually associated as Sun, Moon [*Anar Isilyë]; Heaven, Earth [Menel Cemenyë], Land, Sea [*Nór Eäryë], fire, water [*úr nenyë]" (VT47:31). AND YET a-nanta/ananta (but yet) –AR/Nam/FS, VT43:31, NDAN; the etymology of ar is discussed in VT47:31
ANGBAND Angamando (Iron-gaol) (so in MR:350 and Silm:428; Etym has Angamanda, or in deleted material Angavanda). –MR:350, Silm:428, MBAD, VT45:6
ANGELIC POWER Vala (pl. Valar or Vali, gen. pl. Valion is attested in Fíriel's Song); ANGELIC SPIRIT Ainu, f. Aini (holy one, god) –LotR:1157/BAL/FS, AYAN, LT1:248
ANGELN (island in the Danish peninsula) Eriollo –LT1:252
ANGER, ANGRY, see WRATH, WRATHFUL
ANGROD Angaráto –Silm:428
ANIMAL #celva (only pl. celvar is attested, translated "animals, living things that move" in Silm appendix and WJ:341); laman (pl. lamni or lamani) ("usually only applied to four-footed beasts, and never to reptiles and birds"); MALE ANIMAL hanu (male) –Silm:52/53,/405:3AN, WJ:416
ANNOUNCEMENT canwa (order) –PM:362
ANOTHER enta (one more). (Note: a homophone means "that yonder"). See also OTHER. –VT47:15
ANYBODY – if anybody: aiquen (whoever); ANYONE mo (but this is also used as an impersonal pronoun “one”) –WJ.372, VT49:32
APPLE orva –PE13:116
APPROPRIATE (to a special purpose or owner) #sat- (set aside). The verb #sat- is cited in the form "sati-", evidently including the connecting vowel of the aorist, as in *satin "I appropriate". –VT42:20
APRIL Víressë –LotR:1144/1146
AR-ADÛNAKHOR Tar-Herunúmen –UT:222, Silm:322
AR-BELZAGAR Tar-Calmacil –UT:222
AR-GIMILZÔR Tar-Telemnar –UT:223
AR-INZILADÛN Tar-Palantir –UT:223, Silm:324
AR-PHARAZÔN Tar-Calion (and, as an experimental form, Tar-culu?) –UT:224, Silm:324, VT45:24
AR-SAKALTHÔR Tar-Falassion –UT:223
AR-ZIMRAPHEL Tar-Míriel –UT:224, Silm:324
AR-ZIMRATHÔN Tar-Hostamir –UT:222
ARCH cú (crescent). –KU3
ARCTURUS (a star) Morwinyon (said to mean "the glint at dusk" or "glint in the dark") –LT1:260
ARE see BE
ARGON Aracáno –PM:345
ARM ranco (stem *rancu-, pl. ranqui) (LT2:335 gives rá [there spelt râ], but this is apparently rendered obsolete by a later word in Tolkien’s conception: In Etym, rá is glossed "lion".) TRUNCATED ARM, see STUB, STUMP. –RAK
ARMY hossë (band, troop) –LT2:340
ARNOR Arnanor, Arnanórë ("royal land") –Letters:428
ARRANGEMENT pano (plan). Note: the word also means “piece of shaped wood”. –QL.72
ARRIVE: The verb ten- is used for this meaning in one source (present tense téna “is on point of arrival, is just coming to the end”). Other attested forms are tenë (aorist; 1st person tenin), pa.t. tennë “arrived, reached” (“usually used with locative not allative”: tennen sís “I arrive[d] here”), perfect eténië, future tenuva “will arrive”. Tolkien subsequently changed ten- to men-, but the latter is elsewhere ascribed the meaning “go”. –VT49:23-24
ARROW pilin (pilind-, as in the pl. pilindi) –PÍLIM
ART Carmë (making, production); BLACK ARTS núlë (sorcery). (The word is spelt “ñúle” in the source, reflecting the older pronunciation; in Tengwar spelling the initial nasal should therefore be represented by the letter Noldo). –UT:396, PE17:125
ARTIFICIAL CAVE hróta (dwelling underground, rockhewn hall) –PM:365
AS (prep) ve (like). The longer variant sívë appears to introduce a comparison with something that is near to the point or thought of the speaker, whereas tambë introduces a comparison with something remote, as in Tolkien's translation of one line from the Lord's Prayer: cemendë tambë Erumandë "on earth as in heaven" ("heaven" being remote – we may theorize that "in heaven as [here] on earth" would translate as *Erumandë sívë cemendë, since "earth" would represent the position of the speaker). NOTE: a homophone sívë means "peace". The word yan, related to the relative ya “which”, is also defined “as” in one text (VT49:18). AS REGARDS pa, pá (concerning, touching). AS USUAL ve senwa (also ve senya, but see USUAL). –Nam/RGEO:66, 67, VT43:12, 38, VT44:26, VT49:22
ASCENT rosta, ASCENSION orosta –LT1:267, 256
ASGARD Valinor, Valinórë (Tolkien actually uses this gloss of Valinor, as Asgard is the City of the Gods in Norse mythology) –LT1:272
ASIDE – stand aside! heca! – also with pronominal affixes: sg hecat, pl hecal "you stay aside!" (be gone!) LEAVING ASIDE hequa (not counting, excluding, except) –WJ:364, 365
*ASK #maquet- (only pa.t. maquentë is attested. The word is not translated, but undoubtedly means "asked": 'Mana i•coimas in•Eldaron?' maquentë Elendil [PM:403]. The question itself is translated "What is the coimas of the Eldar?", so the rest must be "Elendil asked". Furthermore, maquentë is transparently quentë "said" with the interrogative element ma [PM:357] prefixed.) ASK FOR – see DEMAND.
ASLEEP lorna –LOS
ASSEMBLE (transitive) comya- (gather), hosta- (gather, collect) –PE17:158, MC:223
ASSOCIATE (noun) otorno (sworn brother) osellë (Þ) (sworn sister) –TOR, THEL
ASTRONOMER meneldil –Letters:386
AT sé, se (the form with a long vowel may be preferred since se is apparently also a 3rd person pronoun) (in). The locative case may also express “at”, e.g. lúmissen “at the times”. –VT43:30, 34, VT49:47
ATHELAS (a healing plant) asëa; see KINGSFOIL. –PE148
ATHWART arta (across) (Note: arta also means "fort, fortress"); GO ATHWART tara- (cross) –LT2:335, 347
AUGER teret (gimlet) –LT1:255
AUGMENT (vb.) yantya- (add) –PE15:68
AUGUST Urimë (so in LotR; UT has Úrimë) –LotR:1144, UT:302/470
AUTHORITY Máhan (pl Máhani is given, but seems perfectly regular). Tolkien once stated that Valar should strictly be translated "the Authorities" (MR:350), but Vala obviously cannot be used to translate "authority" in general; it was used only of the Valar themselves (WJ:404). Cf. also adj. valya "having (divine) authority or power". Máhani was adopted from Valarin and originally probably referred to the Valar themselves. We are not told whether Máhan could or should be applied to a non-divine authority (at least it should not be capitalized if so used). Note: Máhan means *"Supreme One" rather than "authority" as an abstract. –MR:350, BAL, WJ:399/402
AUTUMN yávië (harvest – in the Calendar of Imladris, yávië was a precisely defined period of 54 days, but the word was also used without any exact definition), lasselanta ("leaf-fall", used of the beginning of winter or as a synonym of quellë; see FADING. Also spelt lasse-lanta with a hyphen), narquelion ("fire-fading" – this word from Fíriel's Song and Etym seems to correspond to narquelië in LotR, but the latter is the name of the month corresponding to our October.) LT1:273 has yávan "autumn, harvest", but this word may be obsoleted by yávië. –LotR:1142, 1144, 1145/Silm:439/LT1:254, DAT, FS, NAR/KWAL, Letters:382
AVENGE ahtar- or accar- (do back, react; requite) –PE17:166
AVENUE OF TREES aldëon –LT1:249
AWAKE coiva- (so in LT1:257; read *cuiva- in Tolkien's later Quenya? Cf. the following
AWAKENING (noun) cuivië (obsoleting coivië in LT1:257), cuivë; AWAKENING (adj) cuivëa –KUY/Silm:429AWKWARD hranga (hard; stiff, difficult). Note: hranga- is also a verb “thwart”. –PE17:154, 185
AWAY oa, oar (viewed from the point of view of the thing, person, or place left). Oar is used of movement only, as in "I went away". See also GO AWAY. –WJ:366 cf. 361, VT39:6.
AWNING teltassë –GL:70
AXE pelecco –LT2:346

I felt like writing this, but I don't really care to whom or if it lasts or anything so, why not here? Posting it even in the most distant, most useless or dispised corners of the internet makes it... real, somehow(I never said any of those things about this corner! Stop thinking I'm implying stuff!). It exists then. So since this is poster for myself just feel free to ignore it, spam it, flame it, delete it or whatever. At least it got to exist briefly.
A couple of days ago I was discussing with a couple of friends about... stuff. I don't remember where it started, but it wen't on to sad stuff. We tried to post pictures and stuff that made us go "Daawww!".
I posted Laika(you don't have to google, I'll explain). They didn't get it, so I told them. I told them about Laika. She grew up with a group of trainers and scientists. They taught her things. How to act, who to listen to and who to dismiss. When it was important to obey, and when listening was enough. They fed her and raised her. She was then sent of into space, her vitals being monitored from earth. Slowly she died from starvation, thirst, died of the building heat or simply died as the oxygen levels dwindled. The sad part for me is not how a dog suffered and died, but the betrayal! Look at this dog!
It's a happy dog! Obviously somebody told it to be in the little pod, she did as her repsected family member told her. Content that she's done a good job. Happy that she's made brother happy!
I myself have had many relationships with dogs. I've grown up with dogs and as I've grown up some dogs have been some of my best friends. They've been family to me! A sibling, always trusting and caring. No matter what! I've been told how one of these dogs taught me to walk. I grabbed her ears in a firm grip, obviously hurting her, dragging myself to a standing position. She didn't seem to mind the pain. Patiently she waited, and as time progressed I could stand quite steadily. As I then held her ears, she slowly started moving. Urging me to walk. To keep going. That dog died when I was a kid, and it is propably one of the most hurtful memories I have. I still cry, when I think about her, and I'm not usually one to cry.
Dogs are people to me. They have personalities, memories and knowledge. Sometimes witty, ambitious and engaging and other days dull, slow and lazy. Just like we are.
To me, Laika is a symbol to all of this and many things. My relation to dogs in general, and some few specific ones. How dogs act and think. How they trust and love seemingly beyond human capabilities! How easily we can betray them, though they'd never do that to us! How people are. How cruel and ruthless they can be or perhaps the sacrafises we are willing to make for the better future. It is a symbol for my life, and many of my lifelessons, but through the perspective of me as a dog person.
So creds and sympathy for Laika, the distant stranger.
Great love and tears for Quanda, my pawed sister of sacrifice. Always taking the punches for you! Always having your back!
Distant memories for Bika, yet flowing tears for my furry sister. Who raised me with care only comparable to the care shown towards her own children.
Thank you two! You've always filled many places for me: both bigger and smaller sisters. Like mothers and peers alike! My bestest of friends and most loyal of servants! I miss you, and will remember you.
