irmaldi

collective name. Creatures of the Earth

A name for the inhabitants of the world, appearing in an early name list (PE14/9). It is derived from Irmardi (via dissimilation), so its second element is the plural of mardo “dweller”, a word that appears in the Qenya Lexicon (QL/60). The initial element of is Gnomish cognate G. Isbaroth is related to G. Idhru “World” (GL/50), so the initial element of the Qenya form is likely related to its Qenya equivalent irmin.

lanta-ránar

in the moon falling

The eighteenth line of the Oilima Markirya poem (MC/214). The first word is the adjective lanta “falling” followed by an inflected form ránar of Rána “Moon”. Gilson, Welden, and Hostetter suggest it might be an idiomatic use of the dative (PE16/85), but I think it might be a variant form of the locative: the r-locative.

Decomposition: Broken into its constituent elements, this phrase would be:

> lanta-rána-r = “✱falling-moon-in”

minga-ránar
