öar
adverb. (towards) away
An adverbial form appearing in the Quendi and Eldar essay from 1959-60 (WJ/364). It was a combination of the root √AWA “away” with the ancient allative suffix ✶-da “towards” (WJ/366), so literally meaning “towards away”. It was therefore used to indicate motion, as in mennes öar “he went away”. See the entry öa for other “away” adverbs.
Conceptual Development: Some similar forms appeared in earlier writings. There was avar “away down” in the 1958 poem Löa Yucainen in the phrase löa yucainen __avar__ Anduinë sí valútier “twenty years have flowed away down the Long River” (CPT/1298). There was var “✱away from” as a deleted preposition in one version of the Átaremma prayer from earlier in the 1950s (VT43/10).
