Quettaparma Quenyallo

estat-, see etsat-

Estë fem. name "Repose, Rest" (WJ:403, EZDĒ, SED), only used as name of a Valië (WJ:404)

estel noun "trust, hope" (WJ:318-319, MR:320)

esto emphatic pronoun (?), apparently 3rd person dual, *“even the two of them” (VT49:48). The word comes from a conceptual phase where Tolkien let dual pronouns end in the vowel -o, an idea that was apparently abandoned; also, -st- is associated with the second rather than the third person dual in later sources (see -stë). The ending may have been conceived as *-sto at an earlier stage (VT49:49).

et prep. (and adv.?) "out", when followed by ablative "out of" (VT45:13) or literally "out from", as in EO: et Eärello "out of the Great Sea"; cf. also et sillumello "from this hour" in VT44:35. Et i pe/péti, untranslated phrase, perhaps *"out of the mouth" (VT47:35). Prefix et- "forth, out" (ET), also in longer form ete- (as in etelehta, eteminya); verb ettuler *"are coming forth" (ettul- = et + tul-). (SD:290; read probably *ettulir or continuative *ettúlar in Tolkien's later Quenya). The forms etemmë and etengwë (VT43:36) seem to incorporate pronominal suffixes for "us", hence ?"out of us", inclusive and exclusive respectively. The pronoun -mmë denoted plural inclusive "we" when this was written, though Tolkien would later make it dual exclusive instead (see -mmë). Second person forms are also given: etelyë, etellë ?"out of you", sg. and pl. respectively (Tolkien would later change the ending for pl. “you” from -llë to -ldë).
