	<E> EACH maca -GL:41 EAGLE soron, sorne (?) (pl. sorni) (So in Etym; Letters:427 has sorno, thorno, LT1:266 also has sor. Soron/sorno obsoletes ea, earen in LT1:251 and LT2:338 - besides, ea means "is" in mature Quenya.) KING OF EAGLES Sorontur, "EAGLE-HORN" (a great height in Numenor) Sorontil -THOR, Letters:427, UT:465 EARLY arinya; EARLY DAY +amaurea (dawn); EARLY MORN tuile (dayspring, spring-time) -AR1, MC:223, TUY EARTH cemen, kemen (soil). (Note: at the time Tolkien wrote Etym, he thought of cemen as the genitive of cen, but later cemen evidently became the nominative form, as it had been in earlier writings [LT1:257]. In Silm:433, it is said that cemen [kemen] refers to "the Earth as a flat floor beneath menel, the heavens". LT1:257 also has cemi "earth, soil, land" and Kemi "Mother Earth".) EARTH-QUEEN Kementari (Yavanna's title); EARTHEN, OF EARTH cemina. (LT2:343 gives indi "earthdwellers", another word for "men", but this is hardly a valid word in mature Quenya.) EARTH (= world) Ambar (world) (Tolkien equated Ambar with Oikoumene, a Greek word denoting "world" considered as "the inhabited world of Men". But ambar also seems to mean "doom", q.v. MR:337 (cf. WJ:419) has Imbar instead of Ambar; the literal meaning of both words is said to be "habitation") -KEM/Silm:433/LT1:257, MBAR cf. Letters:283 or SD:409 EAST romen (allative Romenna and ablative Romello in Namarie is capitalized), rona; EASTERN romenya (Entar, Entardar "Outer Lands, Middle-earth" is also glossed as "East" once, as opposed to the Blessed Realm of the West.) The words ore "dawn, Sunrise, East" and its corresponding adjective orea (LT1:264) are probably not valid words in mature Quenya; see DAWN. Neither can Ostar "East" be a valid word; see GATE. EAST-VICTOR Romendacil (one of the Kings of Gondor) EAST-LANDS Orrostar (a region in Numenor) -RO/LotR:1157, UT:463, Nam, EN, LotR:1075, 1081, UT:165, 459 EAT mat- -MAT ECHO lama (ringing sound - so in Etym, but see SOUND), nallama (In Etym, the second a of the latter word has an undefined diacritic here represented by '.) ECHOING lamina -LAM EDDY hwinya- (swirl, gyrate); hwinde (whirlpool) -SWIN EDGE rena, rima -REG, RI EGLATH (or EGLAIN, EGLADHRIM) Heceldi (the "Forsaken" Elves, especially the Eldar left in Beleriand; sg Hecel is given. MR:170 has Ecelli.) -WJ:365 cf. Silm:68 EIGHT tolto -TOL1-OTH/OT ELBOW oleme -LT1:258 ELEPHANT andamunda -MBUD ELEVEN minque < i>-MINIK-W-, LT1:260 ELF quende (generic, seldom used in sg; pl Quendi is the usual form; there are gender-spesific forms quendu m. and quendi f., but they seem to be rare; pl. quendur and quendir is attested), Elda (originally generic, but later [MET] used of Elves of the Three Kindreds [Noldor, Vanyar, Teleri] only. That was at least the proper usage: Elda was the normal word for "elf" in Valinor, as all Elves there were Eldar. An archaic variant of Elda was Eldo.) ELVES OF AMAN Amanyar (sg #Amanya), ELVES WHO REFUSED TO JOIN IN THE WESTWARD MARCH (from Cuivienen) Avari (sg Avar in WJ:371; Avar or Avaro in Etym), also called Avamanyar "those who did not go to Aman, because they would not" (distinguish Umanyar, Uamanyar, Alamanyar "those who did not in the event reach Aman", though they did join in the march from Cuivienen; these are also called Heceldi or Ecelli, see EGLATH). See also DARK ELVES, GREEN-ELVES, GREY-ELVES, HIGH-ELVES, LIGHT-ELVES, SEA-ELVES, LITTLE ELF. Cf. also ELVENHOME Eldamar, Elende. ELF-PEOPLE Eldalie, ELVISH Eldarinwa (adj only; "Elvish" meaning Elvish language is simply Eldarin. Properly, these words for "Elvish" apply to the Tree Kindreds only, not to all the Quendi.) Quenderin ("Elvish" referring to all the Quendi, "Quendian"; this remained a learned word) -WJ:361/KWEN(ED), MR:229 ELED, Silm:424, AB/WJ:371/Silm:65/MR:163, WJ:363, Silm:23/392, MR:415, WJ:407 ELF-FRIEND Elendil (actually meaning "star-friend". Tolkien notes: "It is not surprising that the Edain...found it difficult to discern whether words and names containing the element el referred to the stars or to the Elves. This is seen in the name Elendil, which was meant to bear the sense "Elf-friend". Properly in Quenya it meant 'a lover or student of the stars'... 'Elf-friend' would have been more correctly represented by Quen(den)dil or Eldandil.") -WJ:410 ELF-LOVER #Eldameldo (pl Eldameldor in WJ:417) ELF-STONE Elessar (Aragorn's royal name, prob. Elessard-, cf. STONE. The literal meaning is Star-stone, not Elf-stone - but the Edain confused elen "star" and elda "elf". Cf. Elendil; see ELF-FRIEND above.) -LotR:395, 897 ELM-TREE alalme, lalme; LAND OF ELMS Alalminore (Warwickshire) -ALAM/LT1:249, LALAM EMBER yula (smouldering wood) -YUL EMINENT MAN arato (champion) -Silm:428 EMIT LIGHT faina- PHAY EMPTY lusta (void), cumna -LUS, KUM ENCHANT luhta-; ENCHANTMENT luce -LUK ENCLOSURE panda; CIRCULAR ENCLOSURE corin -PAD, KOR END (noun) metta, mente, tyel, tyelde, telu; THE ENDING OF THE WORLD Ambar-metta; END (vb) tele- (intransitive) (finish - so in WJ:411 - LT1:267 gives telu-), tyel- (cease), PUT AN END TO metya- -LotR:1003, MET, LT1:267, WJ:411, KYEL ENDLESS PERIOD oio -UT:317 ENDURANCE voronwie (lasting quality); ENDURING voronwa (long-lasting) -BORON ENEMY cotumo -KOT ENGLAND - see FAERY. ENOUGH farea (sufficient) -PHAR ENQUIRY centa (as in Essecenta Eldarin wa, probably meaning "Enquiry into Eldarin Names", as Tolkien described the work as an "Enquiry into the origins of Elvish names for Elves". Another possible translation of centa may be "essay". However, the only gloss Tolkien gives of centa is "communication", q.v.) -MR:415 ENTRANCE (to harbour) londe (road [in sea], also translated "haven", q.v.) ENVELOPE (noun) vaiya, vaia (both with alternative, possibly older [MET] forms in w-). -WAY EXPIRE fire- (perf. firie ["has breathed forth"] is attested; ifirie may be the more usual form) -MR:250 ERRANT ranen -RAN ESCAPE (vb) usin (glossed "he escapes" in LT:251, but in mature Quenya it would have to mean, if anything, "I escape" - 1. pers. aorist); ESCAPE (noun) uswe (issue) -LT1:251 ESSAY see ENQUIRY. ESTABLISH tulca- (fix, set up. Note: there is a homonym meaning "firm, steadfast, strong, immoveable".) -LT1:270 cf. TULUK ETERNAL oira -OY EVENING andune (sunset, west), sinye -MC:222, THIN EVER oi, voro, vor (continually) (pref. #oio-, vor-, voro-), EVERWHITE, EVER-SNOW-WHITE Oiolosse (a name for Taniquetil; gen Oiolosseo is attested in Nam, where it has an ablatival meaning); EVERSUMMER Oiolaire, EVERLASTING oia, vorima; EVERLASTING [?AGE] (Tolkien's handwriting was illegible) oire, oiale; FOR EVER, EVERLASTINGLY oiale (evidently the noun just mentioned used as an adverb), tennoio -OY, UT:458, BOR, LT1:250/273, Nam/RGEO:67, Silm:429, UT:317 EVERY maca -GL:41 EVERYBODY ilquen; EVERYTHING ilqua -WJ:372, IL EVIL umea, #ulca (isolated from henulca, see below); EVILEYED henulca; EVIL-SMELLING saura (?) (foul, putrid) - in compounds #sauri-, see FOUL. FREE FROM EVIL aman (see BLESSED). -SD:68, 72, UGU, THUS, WJ:399 EXALTED ONES Aratar (pl; sg #Arata). The Aratar are the mightiest of the Valar: Manwe, Varda, Ulmo, Yavanna, Aule, Mandos, Nienna, and Orome. Aratar is also rendered "High Ones, The Supreme" -Silm 32/381, WJ:402 EXCEPT hequa (leaving aside, not counting, excluding) -WJ:364, 365 EXCLUDE hehta- (pa.t. hehtane is given but seems perfectly regular) (put aside, leave out, abandon, forsake); EXCLUDING hequa (leaving aside, not counting, except) -WJ:364, 365 EXPAND palu-, palya- (spread, extend, open wide); EXPANSIVE palla (wide) -PAL EXPIRE fire- (originally used of "one sighing or releasing a deep breath", but also used of Miriel when she "breathed forth" and died; later used of the death of mortals. Perf. firie is attested; *ifirie with prefix sundoma is probably also a possible form.) -MR:250 EXTEND palu-, palya- (spread, expand, open wide); EXTENDED taina (lengthened); EXTENSION taile (lengthening) -PAL, TAY EYE hen (hend-) (normal pl. hendi as well as the dual form #hendu are attested [isolated from hendumaica, WJ:337]; #hendu would be used of a natural pair of eyes). SHARP-EYE hendumaica, EYES OF HEARTSEASE (a name of the pansy) Helinyetille -KHEN-D-E, WJ:337, LT1:262 EYRIE sornion (?) (lit. gen.pl "of eagles"?). -LT1:266. (LT1:251 gives earen, but this is hardly a valid word in mature Quenya [see EAGLE])
