ta

then

ta (4) conj., said to be a reducted form of "then", used "before each new item in a series or list"; "if as often in English the equivalent of and was omitted, and placed only before a final item [e.g. Tom, Dick, and Harriet], this would in Quenya represent a discontinuity, and what followed after ta would be an addition of something overlooked or less important". (PE17:70) Hence the use of arta (ar ta, "and ta") for "et cetera"; in older language ta ta or just ta.

tána

tána (meaning unclear, probably adj. "high, lofty, noble") (TĀ/TA3). Compare tára.
