tar-kalion

tar-kalion ohtakáre valannar

Tar-Kalion made war on the Powers

tarkilion

place name. Tarkilion

Earlier name for Annúminas appearing in drafts of the Lord of the Rings appendices (PM/167). It seems to contain Tarkil “High-man”, and might be the genitive plural of that word.

tar-ellion

feminine name. Queen of the Stars

A variant of Elentári appearing in a note from the 1930s (LR/200). Its initial element is probably tar- “high”, and its second element might be some peculiar genitive partitive-plural form of elen “star”.

tár

noun. king, lord

tarka

noun. horn [of animals]

A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “horn” derived from the root ᴹ√TARAK “horn (of animals)” (Ety/TARÁK).

Conceptual Development: A similar noun ᴱQ. taru “horn” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√TARA (QL/89). It was also mentioned in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/89).

tarqendi

collective name. High-elves

Another name for the Lindar appearing in name lists and The Etymologies from the 1930s (LR/403, Ety/TĀ). It seems to be a combination of tar- “high” and the plural of Qende “Elf”.

tar-kulu

masculine name. *High Gold

A name appearing only in The Etymologies from the 1930s, as a combination of tar- “high” and kulu “gold” (EtyAC/KUL). Carl Hostetter and Patrick Wynne suggested it might be a variation of Tar-Calion.

tarakil

masculine name. Trotter

Quenya names for Aragorn’s line in Lord of the Rings drafts from the 1940s, glossed “Trotter” (WR/390, 395). The etymology of the name is unclear, but Roman Rausch suggested the initial element might be derived from the root ᴹ√TARAK (EE/3.42).

tarkilmar

place name. Westermanton

Earlier name for Annúminas appearing in Lord of the Rings drafts from the 1940s with the gloss “Westermanton” (TI/144, 304). It is a combination of Tarkil “High-man” and mar “home”, as noted by Roman Rausch (EE/2.19).

taras

noun. mount, hill

A noun appearing in the Quenya Verbal System (QVS) from 1948, with its singular form taras glossed “mount” (PE22/126) and its plural form tarassi glossed “hills” (PE22/126). It appears to be an elaboration of ᴹQ. tára “high”, so perhaps more literally means “✱heights”. In later writings it seems Q. taras was used as a word for “tower” (PE17/22), though S. Taras did reappear as the name of a mountain in Sindarin (S/119).

tarkil

proper name. High Man

tarmenel

tarki-

verb. to trouble

taro

adverb. *for that reason

A correlative appearing in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/108), a combination of ᴹQ. ta “that” and ᴹQ. -ro “reason”.

thar-

verb. to stand

tári

noun. queen

lemya-

verb. to remain, tarry, to remain, tarry; *to be left over

A verb in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “to remain, tarry” derived from the root ᴹ√LEM of similar meaning (EtyAC/LEB).

Neo-Quenya: Given ᴹQ. lemba “left behind”, I think lemya- might also be used for “remain = be left over/behind”.

ser-

verb. to rest, repose; to stay, tarry, stop, be for a while, at the moment

A verb in The Etymologies of the 1930s appearing as serin “I rest” under the root ᴹ√SED of the same meaning (Ety/SED). It appeared as sére “resteth” in the contemporaneous Fíriel’s Song (LR/72). In the Quenya Verbal System (QVS) of 1948 Tolkien said that ᴹQ. ser- properly meant “to rest, repose”, but it was frequently used to mean “stay, tarry, stop, be for a while, at the moment” (PE22/125). The example he gave was ᴹQ. sinan Elessar Aran séra Arkimbelesse “at present King Elessar is [staying for a while] at Rivendell”.

namba

noun. hammer

A noun for “a hammer” in The Etymologies of the 1930s under the root ᴹ√NDAM “hammer, beat” (Ety/NDAM). Tolkien wrote an l/ above this word, possibly indicating a variant form lamba (EtyAC/NDAM). This variant is consistent with the alternate form of the root: ᴹ√DAM (EtyAC/NDAM). I would stick to namba “hammer” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.

Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. artan (artam-) or tartan “hammer” (QL/32), the second variant also appearing with a stem form tartam- under the early root ᴱ√TARA(MA) “to batter, thud, beat” (QL/89). Other early “hammer” words include ᴱQ. petl “hammer” under the early root ᴱ√PETE (QL/73) and ᴱQ. tonga “a great hammer” under the early root ᴱ√TOŊO “to hammer” (QL/94).

proper name. Door of Night

Name of the “Doors of Night” leading beyond the world in Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s (SM/237, 241), also appearing as a rejected name in The Etymologies as combination of ando “door” and the genitive of lóme “night” (EtyAC/LOƷ).
