	<W> WAIF hecil (gender-spesific forms are hecilo m. and hecile f.) (one lost or forsaken by friends, outcast, outlaw) -WJ:365 WAILING (noun) yaime; WAILING (adj) yaimea -MC:223 WAIN (the constellation) see SICKLE OF THE VALAR WAKENING (adj) cuivea (awakening) -KUY WALK (vb) vanta-; WALK (noun) vanta -BAT WALL ramba; WALL AND MOAT ossa; TOWN WITH WALLS AND TOWERS tirios -RAMBA/Silm:436, LT1:258, LT2:336 WANDER ranya- (only glossed stray under RAN, but cf. Silm:436: "ran- 'wander, stray'" and the following word:) WANDERING (noun) rane (straying) (pl. probably raner not rani; cf. the similar formation tyave "taste" pl tyaver.) WANDERER Rana (a name of the Moon), #ran (isolated from Palarran "far-wanderer", the name of a ship) -RAN, Silm:436, UT:460, 461 WANT mere (3. pers. sg. aorist; stem #mer-, pa.t. merne) (wish, desire) -MER WAR ohta -OKTA, KOT WARM lauca -LAW WARRIOR ohtatyaro, ohtar, #mehtar (isolated from Telumehtar "Orion, warrior of the sky", a word occurring in LotR. Etym gives mahtar "warrior" under MAK, but Telumehtar not *Telumahtar under TEL). LT1:268 also has mordo "warrior, hero", but in mature Quenya mordo means "obscurity, shadow, stain". -KYAR (see KAR), UT:458, LotR:1146, MAK, TEL WARWICKSHIRE Alalminore (Land of Elms) -LT1:249 WATCH (vb) tirin ("I watch", 1. pers. aorist), pa.t. tirne; fut. tiruva is attested (heed), WATCH-TOWER tirion; WATCH (noun) (vigil) -TIR, MC:222 cf. 215, LT1:258, LT1:268 WATER nen (nen-) (LT1:262 also has linque); WATER-FALL - LT1:249 gives axa, but this is probably obsoleted by axa "narrow path" in Etym; WATERY nenda (wet), WATER-MEAD, WATERED PLAIN nanda; WATER-LOVERS Nendili (used of the Lindar), WATER-VESSEL calpa; DRAW WATER calpa- (scoop out, bale out); ISSUE OF WATER ehtele (fountain, spring, also cehtele, see FOUNTAIN), WATER FALLING OUT SWIFTLY FROM A ROCKY SPRING celusse (freshlet), YELLOW WATER-LILY nenu -NEN, WJ:410, NAD, KALPA, KEL, UT:426, LT1:248 WAVE (crested) falma (partitive plural allative falmalinnar is attested. LT1:266 has solme instead of falma.) -PHAL, Nam/RGEO:67 WAX lico, neite -MC:223, GL:60 WAY tie (path, course, line, direction, road), #vanda (isolated form Qualvanda "Road of Death" in LT1:264; cf. vand- "way, path" on the same page. Yet vanda means "oath" in UT:317, so this old [TLT] word is doubtful. Use tie, or tea "road") -TE3/RGEO:67, LT1:264 WE -mme (pronominal ending used on verbs, e.g. vamme "we won't". This "we" is exclusive, meaning "they and I", not including the person(s) that is spoken to. The ending for "we, including you (sg or pl)" is -lme. We can deduce one inclusive dual ending, "we" meaning "you (sg) and I": -lve (deduced from the corresponding possessive suffix -lva "our"). The emphatic, independent forms of these pronouns are perhaps emme, elme, elve. -WJ:371, LotR:989, 94, cf. Letters:447 WEAL, WEALTH alma (good fortune), ausie, aute (prosperity, also adj: rich) WEALTHY herenya (blessed, fortuneate, rich) -GALA, LT2:336, KHER WEAR see BEAR. WEAR (OUT) yerya- (get old) (Note: yerya is also the adjective "old, worn") -GYER WEATHER - dark weather: lure -LT1:259 WEAVE lanya- -LAN WEB natse (net); SPIDER'S WEB ungwe -NAT, LotR:1157 WED vesta-; WEDDING vestale -BES, WED WEDGE nehte (spearhead, gore, narrow promontory) -UT:282 WEEK lemnar (from a root meaning "five", since the Valian week had five days) enquie (from a root meaning "six", since the Eldarin week had six days), otsola (evidently meaning a seven-day week like our own, as otso = seven) -LEP, LotR:1141 cf. ENEK, GL:62 WEEPING nyenye -LT1:262 WEFT lanat, wiste -LAN , LT1:254 WENT lende (departed) (past tense of lelya-/linna- "go") LT1:264 gives va, but this is probably not a valid word in mature Quenya. -LED, WJ:363 WEREWOLF nauro (In Etym, this word is spelt with initial n, that is, ng. Initial ng had become n in Third Age Quenya, and I follow the system of LotR and transcribe it accordingly. But if this word is written in Tengwar, the initial n should be transcribed with the letter noldo, not numen.) -NGAW WEST numen (so in Etym and LotR; Numen is capitalized in UT:305; this word obsoletes nume in LT1:263), andune (sunset, evening); WESTERN numenya; IN THE WEST numea; WESTLAND see WESTERNESSE; WESTLANDS Andustar (a region in Numenor) "WEST-WINGS" (the name of a ship) Numerramar -LotR:1157/NDU, Nam, UT:305, Silm:428, LT1:263, UT:165, 419, UT:175, 458 WESTERNESSE, WESTLAND Numenor (full form Numenore) -Silm:313, 414 WET mixa, linque (obsoleting liquin in LT1:262), nenda (watery) -MISK, NEN, LINKWI WHAT see WHO WHEREIN yassen (refering back to a pl word; sg #yasse) -Nam, RGEO:66, 67 WHICH ya (known from the Arctic sentece and attested with a plural locative ending in Nam: yassen "which-in, wherein". See WHO concerning relative pronouns. Note: ya is probably not used as a question-word as in "which is it"?) -Nam, RGEO:66 WHINING miule (mewing) -MIW WHIRLPOOL hwinde -SWIN WHISPER (vb) lussa-; WHISPERING SOUND lusse -SLUS WHITE ninque (chill, pallid), fana/fane (prob. associated with the whiteness of clouds, fanyar), losse (snow-white). -NIK-W-/GL:60/Silm:435 cf. WJ:417, RGEO:69, MC:221-223 WHAT IS mana -PM:395 (so "what" = ma? man?) WHO man (so in Nam and MC:222; MC:221 one place has men, but that is evidently an error, for man occurs in the same text. In FS and LR:59/63, man is translated "what". Either Tolkien later adjusted the meaning of the word, or man covers the meaning of both "who" and "what".) Note: this "who" is used only in questions. The relative pronoun "who, which, that" is i or ya: i Eru i or ilye mahalmar ea "the One who is above all thrones", i carir quettar omainen "(those) who form words with voices". A pronoun ya "which" is found in the "Arctic" sentence; yassen "in which" in Nam is evidently this pronoun + a plural locative ending. -Nam/MC:222, WJ:391, UT:305, 317, Arct WHOEVER aiquen (if anybody) -WJ:372 WHOLE ilya (all), THE WHOLE iluve (the All, Allness, universe) -IL, Silm:433 WHOLLY aqua (fully, completely, altogether) -WJ:392 WIDE palla, landa; FAR AND WIDE palan; THE WIDE WORLD Palurin -PAL, LAD, Silm:435, LT1:264 WIELD turin ("I wield", 1. pers. aorist), pa.t. turne (control, govern). WIELD A WEAPON mahta- (fight) -TUR, MAK WIFE vesse (In UT, indis is translated "wife"; in Etym this word is glossed "bride".) -BES, UT:8 cf. NDIS WILD verca, #hravan (only pl. hravani is attested; Hravani the "Wild" was used in Exilic Quenya to designate Men not belonging to the three houses of the Edain.) -BEREK, WJ:219 WILDERNESS rava (Note: a homonym means "riverbank") -RAB WILL (noun) selma (?) ("a fixed idea, will". In WJ:319, the word is given as Selma, but S (th) would become s in the Noldorin Quenya. Cf. Sinde, sinde in WJ:384) -WJ:319 WILL NOT - I will not: va (exclamation, also = Do not!); avan, van, vanye "I won't", avamme, vamme "we won't" -WJ:371 WILLOW-TREE tasar, tasare (?) (probably obsoleting tasarin in LT2:346) WIND sure (S?) (instrumental form surinen is attested), sulime (?) (also the name of the month of March), vaiwa, waiwa (the latter is probably an older [MET] form); NOISE OF WIND su, WINDY wanwavoite (pl. wanwavoisi) -MC:222 cf. 215, LT1:266, Nam/RGEO:66, WA, LT1:266 WIND UP telya- (transitive) (conclude, finish) -WJ:411 WINE miru, limpe (the drink of the Valar, or of the fairies). The word miruvore, miruvor is defined as "a special wine or cordial." -LT1:261, LIP, LT1:258, WJ:399 WING rama (Pl. ramar and plural instrumental form ramainen are attested. The form #rame, occurring in the ship-name Earrame "Sea-Wing", evidently has a feminine ending.) HAVING WINGS ramavoite, "WEST-WINGS" (the name of a ship) Numerramar -RAM/LT2:335, MC:222, Silm:295, UT:175, 458 WINTER hrive, (in early [TLT] material:) Yelin, Hesin. (In the Calendar of Imladris, hrive was a precisely defined period of 72 days, but the word was also used without any exact definition.) Lasselanta "leaf-fall" could be used for the beginning of winter, but the usual translation of this word is "autumn". "WINTER ONE" Hescil (a title of Nienna "who breedeth winter", LT1:66, 255) -LotR:1141, 1145; LT1:255, LT1:260 WISDOM nolwe (secret lore, obsoleting noleme in LT1:263), nole (long study, lore, knowledge) (In Etym these words, as well as nola below, are spelt with initial n, that is, ng. Initial ng had become n in Third Age Quenya, and I follow the system of LotR and transcribe it accordingly. Nole is so spelt also in Silm:432. But if these words are written in Tengwar, the initial n should be transcribed with the letter noldo, not numen.) WISE nola (learned), saira, istima (having knowledge, learned), iswa, isqua -NGOL, Silm:432, IS, SAY, LT2:339 WISH (vb) mere (3. pers. sg. aorist; stem #mer-, pa.t. merne) (desire, want) -MER WITCH (of the good magic) curuni -LT1:269 WITHER hesta-, WITHERED hessa (dead) -LT1:255 WITHIN mi (se e IN) -MI WIZARD istar (nom. pl. istari and gen.pl. istarion are attested), sairon, curuvar WIZARDRY - in LT1:269, curu is glossed "magic, wizardry", but in Etym the gloss is simply "skill". -LotR:1121, UT:388, cf. IS, SAY; LT1:269 WOLF raca, narmo, WEREWOLF nauro; WOLFHOWL naule (In Etym, narmo, nauro and naule are spelt with initial n, that is, ng. Initial ng had become n in Third Age Quenya, and I follow the system of LotR and transcribe it accordingly. But if these words are written in Tengwar, the initial n should be transcribed with the letter noldo, not numen.) -DARAK, NGAR(A)M, NGAW WOMAN nis (so in MR:213, Etym gives nis, but both sources agree that the pl is nissi. An alternative form of nis/nis is nisse, clashing with nisse "in me". Writers should use the short sg nis, as Tolkien himself does in MR:213); +ni (female) -NDIS/NI/NIS, MR:213, NI, INI WON'T see WILL NOT WOOD - great wood: taure (pl. tauri is attested) (forest), wood as material: tavar, rough piece of wood: runda, peace of shaped wood: pano, smouldering wood (ember): yulme (Note: yulme also means "drinking, carousal") firewood: turu ("firewood" was the proper meaning, but the word was used for "wood" in general); OF WOOD taurina, WOODEN turuva, WOODEN POST samna (?); WOODEN HALL ampano, WOODPECKER tambaro, WOODLAND tavas (LT1:261 also gives nan(d), but this means "valley" in mature Quenya.) -TAWAR/Silm:438/MC:222 cf. 215, RUD, PAN, YUL, LT1:270, STAB, TAM, LT1:267 WOOF winda -LT1:254 WOOL to (obsoleting oa in LT1:249; GL:71 has toa, but cf the following:) OF WOOL, WOOLEN toa -TOW WORD quetta (pl. quettar is attested. LT2:348 gives quent; this word is no doubt obsolete in mature Quenya. GL:28 has "qetta-") -Silm:436, WJ:391 WORLD Ambar (earth), THE WIDE WORLD Palurin. (LT2 gives irmin "the world, all the regions inhabited by Men"; this is probably not a valid word in mature Quenya.) OF THE WORLD marda (an adjective, "wordly"); THE ENDING OF THE WORLD Ambar-metta; "WORLD-ARTIFICER" Martamo (a title of Aule) -LotR:1003 cf. MBAR; LT1:251, 264, LT2:343, LT1:266 WORN yerna (old [of things]), colla (pa.p. of #col- "bear, wear") (borne). Also used as a noun = "vestment, cloak". -GYER, MR:385 WORTH, WORTHY valda (dear) -GL:23 WOSE Ru, Ruatan (pl Ruatani is given but seems perfectly regular) -UT:385 WOUND (vb) harna-; WOUNDED harna; WOUND (noun) harwe -SKAR WRAP vaita- -LT1:271 WRATH orme (haste, violence, rushing) -GOR, KHOR WREATHE ria (garland) -PM:347 WRIGHT s amno (?) (carpenter, builder) -STAB WRITE tece; WRITING tengwe (Note: a homonym means "indication, sign, token"; pl tengwi is attested); WRITING SYSTEM tencele (spelling); WRITINGS parma (book) -TEK cf.
