Quettaparma Quenyallo

oa (1), also oar ("öa, öar"), adverbs, "away", with the idea of movement away (WJ:366, gloss in VT39:6). Compare au #2.

oa (2) noun "wool" (LT1:249; evidently replaced by tó in Tolkien's later Quenya)

oantë vb. "went away (to another place)"; past tense of auta-. Also perfect oantië. (WJ:366, VT48:32)

oar (1) = oa #1, q.v.

oar (2) noun "child of the sea, merchild" (LT1:263; hardly valid in Tolkien's later Quenya)

Oarel ("Oärel") noun "Elf who departed from Beleriand to Aman" (while the Sindar stayed there). Stem Oareld-, as in pl. Oareldi (WJ:363, 374). Older form Oazeldi.

oaris (oarits-), also oarwen, noun "mermaid" (LT1:263; read perhaps ëar- for oar- in LotR-style Quenya)

Oazeldi, Vanyarin (and original) form of Oareldi; see Oarel (WJ:374)

ócama- vb. "have mercy" (VT44:12-14; Tolkien may have abandoned this form in favour of órava-)

ocamna ("k") noun "diphthong" (VT44:13)

occa ("k") noun "knee" (QL:70)

#ócom- vb. “gather, assemble” (intransitive) (PE17:157, 158). Cited in the form ócomë “gathers, assembles”, evidently an endingless aorist. Perfect ócómië given.

ocombë (“k”) noun “gathering, assembly, assemblage, collection”. Also combë (PE17:158)

ohlon (pl. ohloni is attested) noun "diphthong", used of both vocalic diphthongs and "consonantal diphthongs" like mb (VT39:9)

oholima adj. “confidential” (PE17:129), a form also used to describe the 1st person dual inclusive pronoun.

ohta noun "war" (OKTA, KOT > KOTH). In the pre-classical Tengwar system presupposed in the Etymologies, ohta was also the name of tengwa #15 (VT46:7), but Tolkien would later call this letter anca instead – changing its value from ht to nc.

#ohtacar- stem of the past tense ohtacárë (-"káre") vb. "war-made", made war (+ allative = make war upon) (LR:47, SD:246; ohtacárië in LR:56). The past tense could probably also be *ohtacarnë with the better-attested pa.t. of car- “make”.

[ohtacáro] ("k") noun "warrior" (KAR). In the Etymologies as printed in LR, the accent of the word ohtacáro was omitted (VT45:19).
