lelya-

verb. appear, of beautiful things, hence attract, enchant (with dative)

lelya- (3) vb. "appear, of beautiful things, hence attract, enchant (with dative)", pa.t. lélinë (PE17:151)

nwar-

verb. to fret, wear away, to fret, wear away, [ᴹQ.] erode; *worry about [with reflexive + dative]; [ᴹQ.] to gnaw

A verb that appeared in both the Outline of Phonetic Development (OP1) of the 1940s and the Outline of Phonology (OP2) of the 1950s, respectively as [ᴹQ.] ñwara- “gnaw, erode, wear away” (OP1: PE19/36) and ñware “frets, wears away” (OP2: PE19/76), in both cases as an example of the development of the initial nasalized-stop ñgw becoming a simple nasal nw.

Conceptual Development: Given the 1930s gloss “gnaw”, Tolkien may have initially felt that this form was related to (and perhaps replaced) ᴹ√NYAD “gnaw” from The Etymologies of the 1930s (Ety/NYAD). The “gnaw” sense seems to have been abandoned by the 1950s.

Neo-Quenya: I would ignore the 1930s gloss “gnaw”, and just use nwar- for “fret, wear away, erode”. In a post to the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS) on 2024-04-21, Luinyelle and Parmandil suggested it might also be used to mean “worry about” in combination with a reflexive + dative, as in nwarin imne i orcoin “I worry about the orcs, (lit.) I fret myself on the orcs”.

-n

suffix. dative suffix

lelya-

verb. to appear (of beautiful things); to attract, enchant (with dative)

rasta-

verb. to guide (with allative); to explain (with dative); (lit.) to make find a way

A neologism for “guide, explain” coined by Luinyelle posted on 2025-01-26 in the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS), a causative verb derived from RAT “find a way”, so more literally “to make find a way”. It has the sense “guide” when used with the allative: rastan tye Arcimbelenna “I guide you to Rivendell”. It has the sense “explain” when used with the dative: rastan tye nótengolmen “I explain mathematics to you; (lit.) I guide you about mathematics”.

hyalta-

verb. to strike, make ring; [with dative] make a phone call to, ring

-nna

to

-n (1) dative ending, originating as a reduced form of -nă "to", related to the allative ending -nna (VT49:14). Attested in nin, men, ten, enyalien, Erun, airefëan, tárin, yondon (q.v.) and also added to the English name Elaine (Elainen) in a book dedication to Elaine Griffiths (VT49:40). The longer dative ending -na is also attested in connection with some pronouns, such as sena, téna, véna (q.v.), also in the noun mariéna from márië "goodness" (PE17:59). Pl. -in (as in hínin, see hína), partitive pl. -lin, dual -nt (Plotz). The preposition ana (#1) is said to be used "when purely dative formula is required" (PE17:147), perhaps meaning that it can replace the dative ending, e.g. *ana Eru instead of Erun for "to God". In some of Tolkiens earlier material, the ending -n (or -en) expressed genitive rather than dative, but he later decided that the genitive ending was to be -o (cf. such a revision as Yénië Valinóren becoming Yénië Valinórëo, MR:200).

ana

to

ana (1) prep. "to" (VT49:35), "as preposition _ana _is used when purely _dative formula is required" (PE17:147), perhaps meaning that the preposition ana can be used instead of the dative ending -n (#1, q.v.) Also as prefix: ana- "to, towards" (NĀ1); an (q.v.) is used with this meaning in one source (PE17:127)_

-nna

to, at, upon

-nna "to, at, upon", allative ending, originating from -na "to" with fortified n, VT49:14. Attested in cilyanna, coraryanna, Endorenna, Elendilenna, númenórenna, parma-restalyanna, rénna, senna, tielyanna, q.v. If a noun ends in -n already, the ending -nna merges with it, as in Amanna, formenna, Elenna, númenna, rómenna as the allative forms of Aman, formen, elen, númen, rómen (q.v.). Plural -nnar in mannar, valannar, q.v.

na

to, towards

na (2) prep. "to, towards", possibly obsoleted by #1 above; for clarity writers may use the synonym ana instead (NĀ1). Originally, Tolkien glossed na as "at, by, near"; the new meaning entered together with the synonyms an, ana (VT45:36).

nem-

verb. appear, seem
