go-

prefix. together, co-, com-

The Sindarin suffix go- “together” was established early in Tolkien’s life. It was derived from √WO and had a variant gwa- depending on ancient patterns of stress, since ancient wo > wa > gwa when stressed but when unstressed wo > gwo > go (WJ/367-368). The go-variant is the normal form, and gwa- survived only in a few two-syllable words such as gwanon “twin = ✱together-born”.

Conceptual Development: The go-/gwa- variation dates all the way back to the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, but in that document the primitive form was ᴱ✶ŋu̯a which become go- when unstressed (GL/40). The derivation of N. go- from ᴹ√ was introduced in The Etymologies of the 1930s which when stressed produced gwa-, but this gwa-variant was already limited to old formations in the 1930s (Ety/WŌ).

tol-

verb. to come

The basic Sindarin verb for “to come”, well attested from the 1930s-1960s and derived from the root √TUL of similar meaning (Ety/TUL; PE17/166; PE22/168; VT44/25). The Sindarin o was the result of the usual sound change whereby [[s|short [u] became [o]]] in Sindarin’s phonetic development.

Conceptual Development: A verb G. tul- appeared in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, but there its meaning was “(1) bring; (2) come to” (GL/71), and in one place Tolkien said its original meaning was “to support” (GL/69). This is in keeping with the broader meaning of the early root ᴱ√TULU, which was glossed “fetch, bear, bring; move, come; (originally) uphold, support, bear, carry” (QL/95).

edra-

verb. to open (out), to open (out), *come out

A verb for “open” in the phrase annon edhellen, edro hi ammen “Elvish gate open now for us” (LotR/307), also mentioned in The Etymologies of the 1930s under the root ᴹ√ETER “open, come out (of flowers, sun, etc.)” (Ety/ETER). In notes on Words, Phrases and Passages from the Lord of the Rings (WPP) from the late 1950s or early 1960s, Tolkien glossed it as “open (out)”, specified that it was intransitive, and derived it from primitive ✶etr- while saying it was related to ✶et “out” (PE17/45).

Neo-Sindarin: This verb probably originally meant something like “to out [oneself] = to come out”, and I think that sense may remain viable based on the 1930s gloss of its root: Anor edras “the sun came out [from behind the clouds]”. For transitive “open” I would use [N.] panna-: panno i annon “open the gate”.

penna-

verb. to come down (in a slant), fall

A word appearing in the phrase silivren penna míriel within the A Elbereth Gilthoniel prayer from The Lord of the Rings (LotR/238). In The Road Goes Ever On (RGEO) from 1967, Tolkien loosely translated this phrase as “from glittering crystal slanting falls with light like jewels” and more exactly as “(white) glittering slants-down sparkling like jewels” (RGEO/63-64). In various private notes, Tolkien specified that penna- was a verb meaning “come down” or “come down in a slant, fall” derived from the root √PED “fall in steep slant, incline, slope” (PE17/24, 173).

mâb

noun. hand, hand, [N.] grasp

The typical Sindarin word for “hand” (VT47/7, 20), usable in almost any context. It is most notable as an element in the name Mablung “Heavy Hand” (VT47/8). See below for a discussion of its etymology.

Conceptual Development: This word dates all the way back to the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, where G. mab “hand” appeared as a derivative of the early root ᴱ√MAPA “seize” (GL/55). Tolkien then revised the gloss to “hands”, saying instead it was an irregular dual of G. “hand”. The word reverted to singular ᴱN. mab “hand” in Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s (PE13/149). These early versions of the word were already an element of Mablung “Heavy Hand(ed)” (LT2/38; LB/311), but also of Ermabwed “One-handed” (LT2/34; LB/119).

In the 1930s it seems Tolkien decided Ilk. mâb “hand” was primarily an Ilkorin word, and the usual word for “hand” in Noldorin was N. cam. Compare Ilkorin Ermabuin “One-handed” and Mablosgen “Empty-handed” with Noldorin Erchamion and Camlost of the same meaning. In The Etymologies of the 1930s, Tolkien had N. mab “grasp” under the root ᴹ√MAPA “seize”, but the version of the entry with that word was overwritten (EtyAC/MAP), leaving only the Ilkorin form mâb. In this period, Mablung may also have been an Ilkorin name.

After Tolkien abandoned Ilkorin in the 1950s, he kept S. Erchamion and Camlost based on cam, but also kept Mablung “Heavy Hand” which must have become Sindarin. In his later writings Tolkien again revisited the etymology of S. mâb “hand”. In a note from Jan-Feb 1968, he wrote:

> It [Q. = “hand”] did not survive in Telerin and Sindarin as an independent word, but was replaced by the similar-sounding but unconnected C.E. makwā, Q. maqua, T. mapa, S. mab, of uncertain origin, but probably originally an adjectival formation from MAK “strike” ... (VT47/19).

This sentence was struck through, however. In drafts of notes on Elvish Hands, Fingers and Numerals written in or after 1968, Tolkien again derived mâb from √MAP (VT47/20 note #13), but in the final version of these notes he made the remarkable decision to discard this root despite it being a stable part of Elvish for nearly 50 years, declaring it was used only in Telerin and not Quenya or Sindarin (VT47/7). He coined a new etymology for S. mâb “hand” based on ✶makwā “handful” = ✶ + ✶kwā (VT47/6-7), a variation on the above etymology from √MAK.

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I prefer to ignore Tolkien’s 1968 removal of √MAP “seize”, and so would continue to derive S. mâb “hand” from that root. However, its ancient meaning may have been “✱grasp”, and its eventual use as “hand” might have been influenced by ancient ✶makwā “handful”.

falathren

proper name. Shore-language

In the drafts of the Lord of the Rings appendices, a Late Noldorin [Sindarin] name for the common tongue spoken along the shores of western Middle-earth that would eventually develop into Westron (PM/32). This name is most likely a combination of falas “shore” and the adjective suffix -ren, after undergoing the phonetic change: [[s|medial [s] became [θ] before [l], [r]]].

Conceptual Development: The word N. Falathren also appeared in The Etymologies from the 1930s, but there it was an adjective referring to the region or Elvish folk of the Falas (Ety/PHAL). Their dialect of Ilkorin was called Falathrin (LR/170), of which a few examples appeared: Fal. Ariad(or) (Ety/AR²) and Fal. galbreth (Ety/BERÉTH).

maw

noun. hand

The Sindarin equivalent of Q. , likewise derived from the root √MAH or √MAƷ “hand; handle, wield” (PE17/162; VT47/6). However, in Sindarin this word was archaic, used only in poetry, having been replaced in ordinary speech by other words like S. mâb and (less often) cam. Other remnants of this word can be seen in compounds like molif “wrist, (orig.) hand link” and directional words like forvo and harvo for left and right hand side.

Conceptual Development: In the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, G. from the early root ᴱ√MAHA was the normal word for “hand”, replacing mab “hand” (< ᴱ√MAHA) which in this document Tolkien decided was instead an irregular dual form of (GL/55). It had also had an irregular plural mabin based on this dual, replacing an older plural †maith. In the Gnomish Grammar, its archaic form was †, with the usual Gnomish sound change of ā to ō (GG/14), as opposed to later Sindarin/Noldorin ā to au, spelt -aw when final. Tolkien seems to have abandoned as a non-archaic word for “hand” early on, preferring ᴱN. mab “hand” by the 1920s and introducing N. cam “hand” in the 1930s.
