Quettaparma Quenyallo

appa- vb. "touch" (in the literal sense; contrast #ap-, q.v.) (VT44:26)

apsa noun "cooked food, meat" (AP)

apsene- vb. "remit, release, forgive" (VT43:18, 20; it is unclear whether the final -e is somehow part of the verbal stem or is just the final form of the ending -i associated with the aorist, so that "I forgive" would be *apsenin). Where Tolkien used apsene-, he cited the person(s) forgiven in the dative (ámen apsenë "forgive us", literally "for us"), whereas the matter that is forgiven appears as a direct object (VT43:12). Compare avatyar-.

aqua adv. "fully, completely, altogether, wholly" (WJ:392)

aquapahtië noun "privacy" (literally *"fully-closedness", of a mind that closes itself against telepathic transfers) (VT39:23)

[aquet noun? vb? ”answer” (PE17:166)]

ar (1) conj. "and" (AR², SA, FS, Nam, RGEO:67, CO, LR:47, 56, MC:216, VT43:31, VT44:10, 34; see VT47:31 for etymology, cf. also VT49:25, 40). The older form of the conjunction was az (PE17:41). Ar is often assimilated to al, as before l, s (PE17:41, 71), but “in written Quenya ar was usually written in all cases” (PE17:71). In one case, Tolkien altered the phrase ar larmar “and raiments” to al larmar; the former may then be seen as representing the spelling, whereas the latter represents the pronunciation (PE17:175). More complex schemes of assimilation are suggested to have existed in “Old Quenya”, the conjunction varying between ar, a and as depending on the following consonant (PE17:41, 71). An alternative longer form of the conjunction, arë, is said to occur "occasionally in Tolkien's later writings" (VT43:31, cf. VT48:14). In the Etymologies, the word for "and" was first written as ar(a) (VT45:6). – In one source, Tolkien notes that Quenya used ar “as preposition beside, next, or as adverb = and” (PE17:145); compare ara.
