APPENDIX
Elements in Quenya and Sindarin Names
These notes have been piled for those who take an interest in the Eldarin languages; and The Lord of the Rings is
extensively drawn upon for illustration。 They are necessarily very pressed; giving an air of certainty and finality that
is not altogether justified; and they are very selective; this depending both on considerations of length and the limitations
of the editor's knowledge。 The headings are not arranged systematically by roots or in Quenya or Sindarin forms; but
somewhat arbitrarily; the aim being to make the ponent elements of names as readily identifiable as possible。
adan (plural Edain) in Adanedhel; Aradan; Dúnedain。 For its meaning and history see Atani in the Index。
aelin 'lake; pool' in Aelin…uial; cf。 lin (2)。
aglar 'glory; brilliance' in Dagor Aglareb; Aglarond。 The form m Quenya; alkar; has transposition of the
consonants: to Sindarin aglareb corresponds Alkarinqu?。 The root is kal… 'shine'; q。v。
aina 'holy' in Ainur; Ainulindal?。
alda 'tree' (Quenya) in Aldaron; Aldudéni?; Malinalda; corresponding to Sindarin galadh (seen in Caras
Galadon and the Galadrim of Lothlórien)。
alqua 'swan' (Sindarin alph) in Alqualond?; from a root alak… 'rushing' occurring also in Ancalagon。
amarth 'doom' in Amon Amarth; Cabed Naeramarth; úmarth; and in the Sindarin form of Túrin's name
'Master of Doom'; Turamarth。 The Quenya form of the word appears in Turambar。
amon 'hill'; a Sindarin word occurring as the first element of many names; plural emyn in Emyn Beraid。 445

an island in Anduin; and Angerthas 'long rune…rows'。
andún? 'sunset; west' in Andúni?; to which corresponds in Sindarin annun; cf。 Annúminas; and Henneth Annun
'window of the sunset' in Ithilien。 The ancient root of these words; ndu; meaning 'down; from on high'; appears also
in Quenya numen 'the way of the sunset; west' and in Sindarin dun 'west'; cf。 Dúnedain; Ad?naic adun in Adunakh?r;
Anad?n? was a loan from Eldarin speech。
anga 'iron'; Sindarin ang; in Angainor; Angband; Anghabar; Anglachel; Angrist; Angrod; Anguirel;
Gurthang; angren 'of iron' in Angrenost; plural engrin in Ered Engrin。

annon 'great door or gate'; plural ennyn; in Annon…in…Gelydh; cf。 Morannon the 'Black Gate' of Mordor and
Sirannon the 'Gate…stream' of Moria。
ar… 'beside; outside' (whence Quenya ar 'and'; Sindarin a); probably in Araman 'outside Aman'; cf。 also
(Nirnaeth) Arnoediad '(Tears) without reckoning'。
ar(a)… 'high; noble; royal' appears in a great many names; as Aradan; Aredhel; Argonath; Arnor; etc。;
extended stem arat… appearing in Aratar; and in arato 'champion; eminent man'; e。g。 Angrod from Angaráto and
Finrod from Findaráto; also aran 'king' in Aranrúth。 Ereinion 'scion of kings' (name of Gil…galad) has the plural of
aran; cf。 Fornost Erain 'Norbury of the Kings' in Arnor。 The prefix Ar… of the Ad?naic names of the Kings of
Númenor was derived from this。
arien (the Maia of the Sun) is derived from a root as… seen also in Quenya ár? 'sunlight'。
atar 'father' in Atanatári (see Atani in Index); Ilúvatar。
band 'prison; duress' m Angband; from original mbando; of which the Quenya form appears in Mandos
(Sindarin Angband=Quenya Angamando)。
bar 'dwelling' in Bar…en…Danwedh。 The ancient word mbar (Quenya mar; Sindarin bar) meant the 'home' both of
persons and of peoples; and thus appears in many place…names; as Brithombar; Dimbar (the first element of which
means 'sad; gloomy'); Eldamar; Val(i)mar; Vinyamar; Mar…nu…Falmar。 Mardil; name of the first of the Ruling
Stewards of Gondor; means 'devoted to the house' (i。e。 of the Kings)。

cam (from kamba) 'hand'; but specifically of the hand held cupped in the attitude of receiving or holding; in
Camlost; Erchamion。

also in Carchost ('Fang Fort'; one of the Towers of the Teeth at the entrance to Mordor)。 Cf。 Caragd?r; Carach
Angren ('Iron Jaws'; the rampart and dike guarding the entrance to Udun in Mordor); and Helcarax?。

horn' in the Misty Mountains; and Carnimirie 'red…jewelled'; the rowan…tree m Treebeard's song。 The translation of
Carcharoth in the text as 'Red Maw' must depend on association with this word; see carak…。
celeb 'silver' (Quenya telep; telp?; as in Telperion) in Celeborn; Celebrant; Celebros。 Celebrimbor means
'silver…fist'; from the adjective celebrin 'silver' (meaning not 'made of silver' but 'like silver; in hue or worth') and paur
