úvanë prep. + noun "without beauty", adj. úvanëa (VT39:14)

úvanima noun "not fair, ugly" (VT39:14). Negated form of vanima.

úvanimo noun "monster (creature of Melko[r]) (BAN, LT1:272); pl. úvanimor "monsters" is attested (UGU/UMU, (GŪ). According to VT45:7, 16 Tolkien did not capitalize the word úvanimo, though it was so printed in the entries BAN and GŪ in the Etymologies as printed in LR. The (pl.) form húvanimor was abandoned along with hú rather than ú- as a negative prefix, VT45:17.

úvë noun "abundance, great quantity" (UB). Compare úmë #2.

úvëa adj. "abundant, in very great number, very large" (UB). Compare úmëa.

úvië noun "considering a matter (with a view to decision)" (VT48:32) Not to be confused with the plural form of úvëa.

uxarë noun ”doing wrong” (PE17:151). Also uscarë. Cf. úcarë.

úyë vb., a form occurring in Fíriel's Song (cf. VT46:22), apparently ye "is" with the negative prefix ú-, hence "is not" (úyë sérë indo-ninya símen, translated "my hearth resteth not here", literally evidently *"[there] is not rest [for] my heart here")


va prep. "from" (VT43:20; prefixed in the form var- in var-úra "from evil", VT43:24). In VT49:24, va, au and o are quoted as variants of the stem awa “away from”.

vá exclamation "I will not!" or "Do not!", interjection accompanied by a “jerk back of head” (PE17:145). It was inflected only in the 1st person sing. and 1st person pl. exclusive: ván, ványë "I won't!", vammë "we won't" (WJ:371, PE17:143; read *valmë in Second Edition Quenya, after Tolkien revised the pronominal suffixes in the sixties).

-va possessive ending, presumably related to the preposition va "from". In Eldaliéva, Ingoldova, miruvóreva, Oroméva, rómeva, Valinóreva (q.v. for references), Follondiéva, Hyallondiéva (see under turmen for references). Following a consonant, the ending instead appears as -wa (andamacilwa “of the long sword”, PE17:147, rómenwa *”of the East”, PE17:59). Pl. -vë when governing a plural word (from archaic -vai) (WJ:407), but it seems that -va was used throughout in late Exilic Quenya (cf. miruvóreva governing the plural word yuldar in Namárië). Pl. -iva (-ivë), dual *-twa, partitive pl. -líva.

vacco ("k") noun "jacket, cloak" (GL:21, QL:100)
