Quettaparma Quenyallo

maita (1) adj. "hungry" (VT39:11)

maita- (2) transitive vb. “to make with art, design, compose” (PE17:163). Cf. maitar, maitalë.

maitalë noun “the act (not the result) of doing work of art” (PE17:163)

maitar noun “artist” (by itself usually: a poet), also compounded in lindimaitar “composer, musician”, nyarnamaitar “storyteller”, ondomaitar “sculptor in stone”, (PE17:163)

maitë (stem *maiti-, given the primitive form ¤ma3iti) adj. "handed” or “handy, skillful” (VT49:32, 42) in Angamaitë, hyarmaitë, lungumaitë, morimaitë, Telemmaitë, q.v. Etym gives maitë pl. maisi "handy, skilled" (MA3), but Tolkien later eliminated the variation t/s (compare ataformaitë “ambidextrous”, pl. ataformaiti).

Maitimo noun "well-shaped one", mother-name (never used in narrative) of Nelyafinwë = Maedhros (PM:353)

maivoinë noun "great longing" (LT2:345)

maiwë noun "gull" (MIW), pl. maiwi in Markirya. Cf. also the "Qenya" pl. maiwin "gulls" (MC:213)

mal conj. "but" (VT43:23)

mala- vb. "hurt, pain" (QL:63)

Malantur, masc. name. Apparently includes -(n)tur "lord, ruler". The initial element is unlikely to connect with the early "Qenya" element mala- "hurt, pain", and may rather reflect the root MALAT "gold" (PM:366): Malat-ntur > Malantur "Gold-ruler"? (UT:210)

malarauco noun "balrog, demon" (RUK - rather valarauco in Tolkien's later Quenya)

malcanë ("k") noun "torture" (LT1:250)

Malcaraucë noun "balrog", also Valkaraucë ("k") (LT1:250; in Tolkien's later Quenya Valarauco)

malda adj. “yellow, of golden colour” (PE17:51), variant of malina. An earlier source (the Etymologies, entry SMAL) has malda as the noun “gold” – but LotR gives malta, q.v., and according to VT46:14 the form malta originally appeared in the Etymologies as well. Since Quenya sometimes uses adjectives as nouns (see for instance fanya), malda could still be regarded as a valid side-form of the noun malta “gold”.

maldornë noun (fictional species of tree, Sindarin mallorn). Variant of malinornë (apparently arising by shortening to *malnornë and the normal development ln > ld, unless the shorter adjective malda is present from the beginning). (PE17:51)
