Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!
vai
proper name. Outer Ocean
vailimo
masculine name. Vailimo
vainóni
feminine name. Vainóni
vaire
feminine name. Vaire
vaisan
proper name. Monday
vaima
noun. wrap, robe
A noun appearing as ᴱQ. vaima “wrap, robe” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√VAẎA “enfold, wind about” (QL/100).
Neo-Quenya: Since ᴹ√WAY “enfold” appears in The Etymologies of the 1930s (Ety/WAY), I would retain ᴺQ. vaima “wrap, robe” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, used of very simple clothing.
vaite
adjective. skied
An adjective appearing as part of karnevaite “red-skied” in the Oilima Markirya poem and its drafts from around 1930 (MC/221) related to ᴱQ. vaiya “sky” (PE16/75).
vaimata-
verb. to robe
vaina
adjective. clad
vaine
noun. sheath, pod
@@@ origin of “stem-form” unclear; it may instead be a variant
vainole
noun. quiver
vaita-
verb. to wrap
vaitya
proper name. Outermost Airs
vaile
noun. covering, *sheath
vaiya
noun. sky, skies
A word for “sky” or “skies” in the Oilima Markirya poem and its drafts from around 1930 (MC/221; PE16/75) probably based on the early root ᴱ√VAẎA.
vaiya
noun. seamew
vorokantele
noun. harping, vain or monotonous repetition
laivarisse lúnelinqe talalínen tinwelindon?
*in the blue-flowing sea with sails like stars?
The second phrase (lines 3-4) of the intermediate version of the Oilima Markirya poem (PE16/77). The first word is the locative plural of the noun laivar “ocean” followed by the compound lúnelinqe of the words lúne “blue” and linqe “flowing”. This is followed by the instrumental plural of tala “sail” and the adverbial plural form of tinwe “star”: tinwelindon = “like stars”.
The sense of the phrase resembles the third and fourth lines of the English translations of the poem LA2a-LA2b (PE16/68-9): “with/in the flowing sea upon wings like stars”. The locative phrase laivarisse lúnelinqe “✱in sea blue-flowing” is quite close: the English omits only the word “blue”. The instrumental form talalínen “✱with sails” is more loosely translated as “upon wings”; the ship’s sails are equated to wings in other versions of the poem as well.
Decomposition: Broken into its constituent elements, this phrase would be:
> laivar-i-sse lúne-linqe tala-lí-nen tinwe-li-ndon = “✱sea-(plural)-in blue-flowing sail-(plural)-with star-(plural)-like”
Conceptual Development: The locative plural for “in seas” was first given as vainolisse, apparently a variant of the noun Vai “(outer) ocean” (PE16/78).
máwe
noun. gull, seamew
-víke
suffix. as
múrien
proper name. Monday
Name of Monday in the seven-day week of the Elves (otsola) in an early word list (PE14/21). The day was related to sleep and dreams, and was probably derived from ᴱ√MURU having to do with sleep. The name was first given as (rejected) Olōrien, probably derived from the root ᴱ√LORO, also related to sleep.
súlime
noun. wind
A noun for “wind” in Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√SUHYU “air, breath, exhale, puff” and connected to the name ᴱQ. Súlimo (QL/86). Later on, Q. Súlimë was used as the name of March (LotR/1110), whereas Q. Súlimo became “Breather” (PE21/85), a combination of Q. súlë (†þúlë) “breath” + Q. mo “person”.
taime
noun. sky
A word for “the sky” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, with variants Taime and Taimie from the early root ᴱ√TAHA [DAHA] (QL/87). ᴱQ. tea “sky” from Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s is probably related, as suggested by Patrick Wynne and Christopher Gilson (PE16/142).
taimie
noun. sky
tea
noun. sky
