an(a)

preposition. to, towards

an(ner)

adverb. at hand

A word glossed “at hand” in the phrases Es sorni heruion an “the Eagles of the Lords are at hand” and Sorni Númevalion anner “the Eagles of the Powers of the West are at hand” (SD/290). Luinyelle suggested anner might be a plural past tense of anya- “arrive”, so that 2nd phrase might actually mean “✱the Eagles of the Powers of the West arrived”. This is consistent with the Adûnaic form of the phrase: Ad. narîka ’nBâri ’nAdûn yanâkhim (SD/251), where the last word in the phrase appears to be a form of the verb: nakh- “come”, so that yanâkhim = “✱are coming”.

laime

noun. shadow (cast by an object or form), shade

A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s variously glossed “shade”, “shadow (cast by an object or form)”, and “shadow cast by a thing” under different iterations of the root ᴹ√DAY “shadow” (Ety/DAY; EtyAC/DAY). This root was primarily used for N. dae “shadow” in N. Dor-Daedeloth “Land of the Shadow of Dread”; in later writings the Dae- element in that name seems to have become dae(r) “great” (WJ/183), so I suspect ᴹ√DAY “shadow” and its derivatives were abandoned.

noun. jaw

A noun for “jaw” The Etymologies of the 1930s derived from primitive ᴹ✶nakma under the root ᴹ√NAK “bite” (Ety/NAK). It was possibly displaced by anca “jaw, jaws”, which was also introduced in The Etymologies of the 1930s, but continued to appear in later documents included The Lord of the Rings Appendix E (LotR/1123). However, it might be that nangwa refers to a single “jaw” (upper or lower), while anca refers collectively to both “jaws”.
