Quettaparma Quenyallo

vanya- (2) vb. "go, depart, disappear", pa.t. vannë (WAN). The verb auta- may have replaced this word in Tolkien's later conception.

váquet- vb. (1st pers. aorist váquetin and 1st pers. past tense váquenten are given) "to say no" (not denying that something is true, but denying to do or to allow something: "to say I will not/do not"; "to refuse", "to forbid" (WJ:370, 371)

var (1) conj. "or" (QL:100). In Tolkien’s later Quenya, the word hya appears for “or”. A phrase involving a double var…var may mean “either…or” in one early (untranslated) text, according to Christopher Gilson’s interpretation (PE15:32, 39)

var- (2), see va

vára adj. "soiled, dirty" (WA3)

varanda adj. “sublime” (PE17:23), related to the name Varda.

vard- vb. "rule, govern" (LT1:273; hardly valid in Tolkien's later Quenya)

Varda fem. name "the Sublime", name of a Valië, spouse of Manwë, the Queen of the Valar, called Elbereth in Sindarin (BARATH, BARÁD, WJ:402; in Letters:282 Varda is translated the "Lofty"). As a general adjective “sublime”, †varda could still occur as a poetic word in verse (PE17:23), but normal prose would apparently rather use the related word varanda (q.v.) Genitive Vardo (for *Vardao). (Nam, RGEO:66). Vardamir masc. name, *"Varda-jewel" (Appendix A, UT:210); vardarianna ?"Varda-gift", name of a tree (but the ri element is obscure) (UT:167)
