vendinuru

feminine name. Vendinuru

Another name for ᴱQ. Urwen(di) (Arien) in the Gnomish Lexicon from the 1910s (GL/18), possibly a combination of variant form of wen(di) “maiden” with the root URU having to do with the Sun.

vene

noun. small boat, vessel, dish

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. vene in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, initially glossed “small boat” and then with the glosses “vessel, dish” added, listed under the early root ᴱ√VENE {“small boat” >>} “shape, cut out, scoop” (QL/100-101).

Neo-Quenya: I would retain ᴺQ. venë for purposes of Neo-Quenya with the more limited meaning “[eating] vessel, dish”. I would reconceive of it as a derivative of the 1930s root ᴹQ. BEN “corner, angle”.

Early Quenya [LT1A/Glorvent; QL/100] Group: Eldamo. Published by

vean san falastuváre alkalótefalmarínen

*the sea then will surge with waves like shining blossoms

The third phrase (lines 5-6) of the intermediate version of the Oilima Markirya poem (PE16/77). The first word is the nominative form of the noun vea “sea” followed by the adverb san “then” and the future 3rd-singular feminine inflection of the verb falasta- “to surge”.

The phrase ends with a long compound combining alka “shining”, lóte “flower” and the instrumental plural of falmar “wave”: falmarínen = “with waves”. The glossary notes associated with the poem translate the uninflected compound alkalótefalmar as “wave with shining blossom”.

The sense of the phrase resembles the fifth and sixth lines of the English translations of the poem LA2a-LA2b (PE16/68-9): “the sea surging, the foam blossoming/with flowers”. The subject and verb match, although the verb tense does not, nor does the adverb “then” appear. The approximate meaning of the final compound also appears, except for the word “shining”.

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

> vea-n san falast-uvá-re alka-lóte-falmar-í-nen = “✱sea-(nominative) then surge-(future)-she shining-blossom-wave-(plural)-with”

vente

noun. brook, small river

ve kaivo-kalma

a corpse-candle

The nineteenth line of the Oilima Markirya poem (MC/214). The first word is the preposition ve “like”, not reflected in the English translation. It is followed a compound of kaivo “corpse” and kalma “candle”, perhaps more literally “light”.

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

> ve kaivo-kalma = “✱like corpse-candle”

Early Quenya [MC/214] Group: Eldamo. Published by

ve maiwin qaine

like gulls wailing

The fourth line of the Oilima Markirya poem (MC/213). The first word is the preposition ve “like” followed by the nominative plural of the noun maiwe “gull” and the plural form of the adjective qaina “wailing”.

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

> ve maiw-i-n qain-e = “✱like gull-(plural)-(nominative) wailing-(plural)”

Early Quenya [MC/213] Group: Eldamo. Published by

vean falastanéro

the sea with loud surf

The fifth phrase of the first version of the Oilima Markirya poem (MC/220). The first word is the nominative form vean of the noun vea “sea”, followed by the past 3rd-plural masculine form falastanéro of the verb falasta- “to surge, make a sound like surf”. Its English translation “the sea with loud surf” is rather loose; a more accurate translation would be “the sea was surging” (PE16/62).

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

> vea-n falasta-né-ro = “✱sea-(nominative) surge-(past)-he”

Conceptual Development: This phrase appeared in the second draft of the poem (OM1b: PE16/57-8), where Tolkien first considered prefix vean with the definite article i. He also considered alternate past tense forms vavaks >> falassiéro >> falastanéro before settling on falastanére, the past 3rd-plural feminine form, as suggested by Gilson, Welden, and Hostetter (PE16/58). The phrase then remained the same up through the sixth draft, until Tolkien switched back to the masculine form falastanéro for the version included with the “A Secret Vice” essay (MC/220).

veasse lúnelinqe

upon the blue streams of the sea

The third phrase of the first version of the Oilima Markirya poem (MC/220). The first word is the locative form veasse of the noun vea “sea”, followed by the compound lúnelinqe of lúne “blue” and linqe “water, stream”.

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

> vea-sse lúne-linqe = “✱sea-upon blue-stream”

Conceptual Development: This phrase did not appear until the fourth draft of the poem (OM1d: PE16/62); earlier drafts used the unrelated phrase ar tanda kiryaiko lúte (or lunte) “✱and with that ship sailed” (OM1a-c: PE16/56-7, 60). Aside from the variant Finnish-like spellings of the fifth draft (OM1e: PE16/72), the phrase remained the same thereafter. In the glossary commentary to the 7th draft, lúnelinqe was glossed “blue-flowing” (PE16/75), so perhaps it was an adjectival compound with a more accurate translation of “in the flowing blue sea” (PE16/62).

verin

adjective. married

An adjective appearing as ᴱQ. verin “married” in the English-Qenya Dictionary of the 1920s, with a stem -nd (PE15/75).

Neo-Quenya: I would adapt this word as ᴺQ. verin “married” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, but ignore the stem verind- since suffixal -in is common for adjectives in Tolkien’s later writings, but -ind is not.

Early Quenya [PE15/75] Group: Eldamo. Published by

velka

noun. flame

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “a flame” derived from the early root ᴱ√(M)BELEKE (GL/22).

venta

noun. chin

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. venta “chin” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√VETE (QL/101).

Neo-Quenya: I’d retain ᴺQ. venta “chin” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, but reconceived as a derivative of the Neo-Root ᴺ√BENET, an elaboration of ᴹ√BEN “angle”.

Early Quenya [QL/101] Group: Eldamo. Published by

venya

adjective. womanl[y]

A word for {“a woman” >>} “womanl[y]” in Gnomish Lexicon Slips of the 1910s appearing with variants venă and [ven]in, derived from primitive ᴱ✶u̯enı̯ā̆́- (PE13/118).

Conceptual Development: The word for “womanly” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s was ᴱQ. anaina, an adjectival form of ᴱQ. anai “woman” (QL/31).

Early Quenya [PE13/118] Group: Eldamo. Published by

vestani

noun. *bride

An unglossed word in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with variants vestani and vestaqin (QL/101), combinations of ᴱQ. vesta “marriage” with feminine suffixes ᴱQ. -ni or ᴱQ. qin “woman”, so perhaps “✱marriage woman” = “✱bride”.

Early Quenya [QL/101] Group: Eldamo. Published by

vea falastane

the sea surging

The ninth line of the Oilima Markirya poem (MC/213). The first word is vea “sea”, followed by the “bare stem” infinitive of the verb falasta- “to surge” as suggested by Gilson, Welden, and Hostetter (PE16/84, notes on line #10 and #11), apparently functioning as either an active-participle or a verbal object.

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

> vea falasta-ne = “✱sea surg-ing”

Early Quenya [MC/213] Group: Eldamo. Published by

vea qalume

the sea heaving

The twenty fifth line of the Oilima Markirya poem (MC/214). The first word is the noun vea “sea” modified by the adjective qalume “heaving”.

> vea qalume = “✱sea heaving”

An adjective for “powerful” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√TURU “am strong” (QL/96).

Neo-Quenya: Since √TUR remains connected to power in Tolkien’s later writings, I’d retain this word for purposes of Neo-Quenya, but I’d use it for general or abstract forms of potency, as opposed to being physically powerful (turca or [ᴹQ.] poldórea) or politically powerful (túrëa).

Neo-Quenya: Helge Fauskanger adapted this word as ᴺQ. vembë “worm” in his NQNT (NQNT), and I follow his suggestion in part for better compatibility with adapted Gnomish forms from the Neo-Root ᴺ√WEB.

noun. son

In the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, ᴱQ. Ion was the “mystic name of God, 2nd Person of Blessed Trinity”, that is the “Son” in the “Father, Son, Holy Ghost” trinity (QL/43). In that document yon or yond- was given in a couple of places as (archaic?) words for “son” (QL/43, 106). In Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s, Tolkien gave ion as the equivalent of ᴱN. “son”, along with a plural form yondi (PE13/113). However, in the English-Qenya Dictionary Tolkien said yondi was an irregular plural form of ᴱQ. yondo “son” (PE15/77), and this is the form he typically used in later writings.

matsile

noun. bear

A word appearing only as an element in the name ᴱQ. Oromatsile “Great Bear” from Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s (PE13/149). It was a cognate of ᴱN. magli “bear” = “honey-eater”, and hence composed of the same elements: ᴱQ. mata- “eat” and ᴱQ. ile “honey”, where the s appeared because ti became tsi in Early Qenya, so that matile > matsile.
