melmë noun "love" (MEL)

#melu noun ”honey”, isolated from melumatya, q.v. (PE17:68)

melumatya adj. “honey-eating” (PE17:68)

melwa adj. "lovely" (LT1:262); compare melda in Tolkien’s later Quenya.

men (1) pron. "(for) us", dative form of me, q.v.

men (2) noun "way" (SA) or "place, spot" (MEN)

men (3) pron. "who", evidently a misreading or miswriting for man (MC:221, in Markirya)

#men- (4) vb. "go" (VT47:11, cf. VT42:30, VT49:23), attested in the aorist (menë) in the sentence imbi Menel Cemenyë menë Ráno tië "between Heaven and Earth goes the path of the Moon". In the verb nanwen- “return” (or go/come back), -men- is changed to -wen- following nan- “back” (etymological form cited as nan-men-, PE17:166). – In examples from VT49:23, 24, Tolkien used men- in the sense of “go as far as”: 1st person sg. aorist menin (menin coaryanna “I arrive at [or come/get to] his house”), endingless aorist menë, present tense ména- “is on point of arrival, is just coming to an end”, past tense mennë “arrived, reached”, in this tense usually with locative rather than allative (mennen sís “I arrive[d] here”), perfect eménië “has just arrived”, future menuva “will arrive”. All of these examples were first written with the verb as ten- rather than men-, Tolkien then emending the initial consonant.

ména noun "region" (MEN). Not to be confused with the present/continuative tense of #men- “go”.

#mendë noun "will", only attested in mendelya "thy will" (VT43:15)
