Valcaraucë ("k") noun "balrog", also Malcaraucë (LT1:250; in Tolkien's later Quenya valarauco)
vald- noun "blessedness, happiness" (LT1:272 – a final vowel would seem to be required). See valin regarding the dubious conceptual validity of this and related words.
valda adj. "worth, worthy, dear" (GL:23)
Valdë noun "female Vala" (also Valis) (LT1:272, in Tolkien's later Quenya Valië, Valatári)
valdëa adj. “of moment, important” (QL:102)
Valië noun female Vala; pl. Valier attested (Silm)
valima adj. "happy" (QL:99). See valin.
Valimar place-name "Vali-home" (Vali = Valar), the city of the Valar in Valinor, also in shorter form Valmar. Cf. the Silmarillion: “the city of Valimar where all is glad” (Valaquenta); “in the midst of the plain beyond the mountains they [the Valar] built their city, Valmar of many bells” (chapter 1). In Namárië, the word Valimar is used = Valinor, since Valimar was its chief city (Nam, RGEO:67)
valin adj. "happy" (LT1:272, ). This word, as well as valima and vald-, connect with Tolkien's early concept of Valar meaning "happy ones". Since the term Valar was later reinterpreted as "the Powers", the conceptual validity of these terms for "happy” depends on whether the bliss associated with the Valar and Valinor is regarded as sufficient to give them a secondary justification.
Valinor place-name "the land (or people) of the Valar", *"Vali-land" (Vali = Valar), land of the Gods in the West (BAL, NDOR); cf. Valandor. Full form Valinórë (BAL; Vali-nórë under NDOR). Said to be “the true Eldarin name of Aman”, the latter name being explained as a borrowing from Valarin in some versions of the linguistic scenario (VT49:26). In the early "Qenya Lexicon", Valinor, Valinórë is glossed "Asgard", the name of the city of the gods in Norse mythology (LT1:272). It seems that in such more restricted use, Valinor is not the entire Blessed Realm but rather the specific region beyond the Pelóri where (most of) the Valar dwelt, with Val(i)mar as the chief city. Thus it is said of Eärendil that he “went into Valinor and to the halls of Valimar” only after he had already left his ship and ventured as far as Tirion (Silmarillion, chapter 24). – Possessive Valinóreva in Nurtalë Valinóreva, the "Hiding of Valinor", the possessive case here assuming the function of object genitive (Silm); genitive Valinórëo in Yénië Valinórëo “Annals of Valinor” (MR:200; the last word was changed from Valinóren, Tolkien revising the genitive ending from -n to -o)
