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

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。
