Fauskanger http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/ Quettaparma Quenyanna † = poetic or archaic word (e.g. †él "star", elen being the ordinary word) or a poetic or archaic meaning of an ordinary word (e.g. russë "corruscation, †swordblade"), * = unattested form, ** = wrong form, # = word that is only attested in a compound or in an inflected form (e.g. # apa , # Apanóna ; see AFTER below), TLT = Tolkien's lifetime (by some called "Real Time", as opposed to:) MET = Middle-Earth Time (or rather Arda Time, since Quenya originated in the Blessed Realm), LotR = The Lord of the Rings (HarperCollins Publishers , one-volume edition of 1991), Silm = The Silmarillion (HarperCollins Publishers 1994), MC = The Monsters and the Critics and other Essays , MR = Morgoth's Ring , LR = The Lost Road , Etym = The Etymologies (in LR:347-400), FS = Fíriel's Song (in LR:72), RGEO = The Road Goes Ever On (Second Edition), WJ = The War of the Jewels , PM = The Peoples of Middle-earth , Letters = The Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien, LT1 = The Book of Lost Tales 1 , LT2 = The Book of Lost Tales 2 , Nam = Namárië (in LotR:398), Arct = "Arctic" sentence (in The Father Christmas Letters ), GL = Gnomish Lexicon (in Parma Eldalamberon [PE] #11 - references are selective), QL = Qenya Lexicon (in Parma Eldalamberon #12 - references are again selective), VT = Vinyar Tengwar (PE and VT being journals publishing Tolkien material edited by C. Gilson, C.F. Hostetter, A.R. Smith, W. Welden and P. Wynne; please refer to the individual journals here referenced to determine which editors are involved in any given case), vb = verb, adj = adjective, interj = interjection, pa.t. = past tense, fut = future tense, perf = perfect tense, freq = frequentative form, inf = infinitive, gen = genitive, pl = plural form, sg = singular form. The spelling used in this wordlist is regularized (c for k except in a few names, x for ks , long vowels marked with accents rather than macrons or circumflexes; the diaeresis is used as in LotR). When s in a word represents earlier Þ (th as in "thing") and it should be spelt with the letter súlë instead of silmë in Tengwar writing (though Tolkien himself sometimes ignored or forgot this), this is indicated by ( Þ) immediately following the word in question (e.g. sanda , sanya -; see ABIDE, ABIDING below).
