Quettaparma Quenyallo

fur- vb. "to conceal, to lie" (LT2:340) Read perhaps *hur- in a LotR-compatible form of Quenya, since Tolkien decided that fu- tended to become hu-.

furin adj. "hidden, concealed" (also hurin, which form may be preferred in a LotR-compatible form of Quenya) (LT2:340)

furu noun "a lie" (LT2:340, GL:36) Read perhaps *huru in a LotR-compatible form of Quenya, since Tolkien decided that fu- tended to become hu-.


haca- vb. "squat" (GL:47)

hácala ("k") participle "yawning" occurring in the Markirya poem, derived from an (otherwise unattested) verb #hac- "yawn". Compare yanga-.

hacca noun "buttocks, hams" (GL:47)

hahta noun "pile, mound" (KHAG)

haimë noun "habit" (KHIM)

haira adj. "remote, far" (KHAYA)

haiya adj. "far" (SD:247). Also háya.

hala (1) noun "(small) fish" (KHAL¹, SKAL², VT45:20)

hala (2) noun ”a cast shadow” (PE17:184)

halatir (halatirn-, as in dat.sg. halatirnen), also halatirno, noun "kingsfisher", etymologically "fish-watcher" (TIR, SKAL², KHAL¹)

halcin ("k") adj. "frozen" (LT1:254)

halda adj. "veiled, hidden, shadowed, shady" (opposed to helda "stripped bare") (SKAL¹, VT46:13)

halla (1) adj. "tall" (Appendix E, footnote)

[halla (2) adj. "naked" (VT46:14), changed by Tolkien to helda]

Hallacar masc. name, apparently "tall helmet": halla + car (cf. Eldacar for the latter element) (UT:210)

Hallatan masc. name, apparently "tall man": halla + atan (UT:210)

[halma], see helma

haloisi noun "the sea (in storm)", cf. haloitë (LT1:254)

haloitë adj. "leaping" (LT1:254)

halta- vb. "to leap" (LT1:254)

halya- vb. "veil, conceal, screen from light" (SKAL¹, VT46:13) Tolkien noted that “√SKAL applied to more opaque things that cut off light and cast shadows over other things” (PE17:184), contrasting it with √SPAN, the rejected stem of fanta-, q.v.

ham- (1) vb. "sit" (KHAM)

#ham- (2) vb. "judge", attested in the aorist form hamil "you judge". (VT42:33; notice the pronominal ending -l "you". See nemë. The verb #ham- with the meaning "judge" may seem to be an ephemeral form in Tolkien's conception.)

hamma noun "chair" (VT45:20)

hampa adj. “restrained, delayed, kept” (PE17:68)

han prep. "beyond" (compare the postposition pella of similar meaning) (VT43:14)

[hanaco ("k") noun "giant" (VT45:21)]

handa (1) adj. "understanding, intelligent" (KHAN)

[?handa] (2) noun "chair"; the reading is uncertain and the word was in any case deleted (VT45:20). In the Etymologies, Tolkien likewise abandoned the root KHAD from which this word was derived, but he may seem to have restored this root later (see har-).

handassë noun "intelligence" (KHAN)

handë noun "knowledge, understanding, intelligence" (KHAN). Note: *handë is (probably) also the past tense of the verb har- "sit".

handelë noun "intellect" (another gloss, "intelligence", Tolkien transferred to handassë) (KHAN, VT45:21)

[hando] noun "agent" (male; fem. [yendi]) (VT45:16)

háno noun "brother", colloquially also hanno (VT47:12, 14). It is unclear whether Tolkien, by introducing this form, abandoned the older (TLT) word toron (q.v.)

hanno noun "brother" (a colloquial form, cf. háno), also used in children's play for "middle finger" (VT47:12, 14, VT48:4, 6)

hanquenta vb.? noun? “answer” (PE17:176)

hantalë noun "thanksgiving", isolated from Eruhantalë (UT:166; see also VT43:14). A verbal stem #hanta- "thank, give thanks" may apparently be isolated from this word.

hantë, pa.t. of hat-, q.v. (SKAT)

hanu noun "a male (of Men or Elves), male animal, man" (3AN, VT45:16)

hanuvoitë adj.? "male" (prob. adj. rather than noun; the word as such is not clearly glossed, but connects with hanu "a male") (INI)

hanwa noun "male" (INI)

hanya- vb. "understand, know about, be skilled in dealing with" (KHAN, VT45:21)

har, harë adj.? adv.? "near" (LT1:253)

har- vb. "sit, stay", pl. present hárar in CO (i hárar "those who sit, those who are sitting"). Imperative hara in the phrase (hara) máriessë “(stay) in happiness” (PE17:162). According to VT45:20, har- "sit" is derived from a stem KHAD which Tolkien abandoned in the Etymologies, but since CO is later than Etym, he may seem to have restored KHAD. If so, the past tense of har- would be *handë.

haran (#harn-, as in pl. harni) noun "king, chieftain" (3AR, TĀ/TA3, VT45:17; for "king", the word aran is to be preferred in LotR-style Quenya). In a deleted entry in the Etymologies, haran was glossed "chief" (VT45:17)

haranyë noun, last year of a century in the Númenórean calendar (or possibly the word for "century" itself; Tolkien's wording is unclear) (Appendix D)

harda noun "realm, region" (VT45:12, 16, 17; the word also occurs, unglossed, in the entry EN in the Etymologies). Changed to arda later?

*harin adj. “marred” (PE17:150). The word is given as χarin, where the initial Greek chi presumably represents [x]; in later [MET] pronunciation and spelling, this would become *harin.

harma (1) noun "treasure, a treasured thing" (3AR), also name of tengwa #11, later (MET) called aha (Appendix E).

[harma (2) noun "wolf" (3ARAM). The gloss "hound" was inserted, but then deleted (VT45:17)]

[Harmen] noun "south" (MEN) (Changed to hyarmen.)
