A word appearing as vahaiya or vahāya “far away” in various versions of the Lament of Atalante from the 1930s and 40s (LR/47; SD/247, 310). In The Etymologies from around 1937 it was (a)vahāya under the root ᴹ√KHAYA “far, distant, remote”, equivalent to N. gwahae (EtyAC/KHAYA). In the Quenya Verbal System (QVS) from 1948 it appears as vahaia in the phrase vahaia nóre ëa i a-esta Valinor “far away (there) is a land called Valinor” (PE22/124).
