ilvana adj. “perfect”. Also ilvanya. (PE17:150)
ilvanya adj. “perfect”. Also ilvana. (PE17:150)
ilwë noun "sky, heavens" (LT1:255), "the middle air among the stars" (LT1:273). – VT49:51, 53 also mentions an obscure prononominal element ilwë.
Ilweran, Ilweranta noun "rainbow" (GL:74) (The Etymologies gives helyanwë.)
ilya adj. and noun "all" (LR:47, 56; SD:310), "all, the whole" (IL); "each, every, all of a particular group of things" (VT39:20); ilyë before a plural noun, "all" being inflected like an adjective (Nam, RGEO:67): ilyë tier "all paths" (Namárië, VT39:20), ilyë mahalmar "all thrones" (CO), ilya raxellor "from all dangers" (VT44:9; we might expect *ilyë raxellor here), ilyárëa (older ilyázëa) "daily, of every day" (evidently ilya "every" + árë, ázë "day" + -a adjectival ending) (VT43:18). Tolkien apparently abandoned ilyárëa in favour of ilaurëa, q.v.
-ima adjectival suffix. Sometimes it is used to derive simple adjectives, like vanima "fair" or calima "bright"; it can also take on the meaning "-able" (PE17:68), as in mátima “edible” (mat- “eat”), nótima “countable” (not- “count”) and (with a negative prefix) úquétima "unspeakable" (from quet- "speak"). Note that the stem-vowel is normally lengthened in the derivatives where -ima means "-able", though this fails to occur in cenima “visible” (q.v., but contrast hraicénima, q.v.) and also before a consonant cluster as in úfantima “not concealable” (PE17:176). "X-ima" may mean "apt to X" (when the ending is added to an intransitive verbal stem), as in Fírimar "mortals", literally "those apt to die" (WJ:387). The adj. úfantima “not concealable” (PE17:176) also appears as úfantuma (PE17:180), indicating the existence of a variant ending -uma (possibly used to derive adjectives with a “bad” meaning; compare the ending *-unqua next to -inqua, q.v.)
