Tuivбna See Tuilйrл, Vбna.
tulielto, &c.Tulielto is translated ‘they have come’ (p. 114), and I. Eldar tulier ‘the Eldar have come’ (ibid.); I·kal’ antъlien is translated ‘Light hath returned’ (p. 184). QL under root TULU ‘fetch, bring, bear; move, come’ has the verb tulu- of the same meaning, also tulwл pillar, standard, pole’, tulma ‘bier’. GL has tul- ‘bring; come’, tultha- ‘lift, carry’.
Tulkas QL gives the name under root TULUK, with tulunka ‘steady, firm’, tulka- ‘fix, set up, establish’. The Gnomish form is Tulcus (-os), with related words tulug ‘steady, firm’, tulga- ‘make firm, settle, steady, comfort’.
Tulkastor The name does not appear in the dictionaries (nor the precedent forms, Tulkassл, Turenbor, p. 22); see Tulkas, Meril-i-Turinqi.
TuorTuor is not given in the dictionaries, but it is probably derived (since the name is also written Tыr) from the root TURU ‘be strong’ see Meril-i-Turinqi.
Turgon Neither Turondo nor Gnomish Turgon are given in the dictionaries, and beyond the likelihood that the first element is from the root TURU (see Meril-i-Turinqi) these names cannot be explained.
Turuhalmл ‘The Logdrawing’ (p. 229). A second root TURU (TUSO) ‘kindle’ in QL (differing in the medial consonant from TURU ‘be strong’) has many derivatives: turu-, tunda- ‘kindle’, turu ‘properly="firewood," but used of wood in general’, turъva ‘wooden’, tusturл ‘tinder’, etc. In GL are duru ‘wood: pole, beam, or log’, durog ‘wooden’.
The second element is in Gnomish halm ‘drawing, draught (of fishes etc.)’. The name of the festival is Duruchalmo(s)="Halm" nadhuruthon (Duruchalm was written in the text and struck out, p. 244), translated ‘Yule’ this was changed later to Durufui ‘Yule (night), i.e. Log-night’ (see Fui).
Uin See Уnen. In GL uin is a common noun, ‘whale’, named after Uin ‘Gulma’s great whale’ (Gulma=Ulmo); but apparently (though this entry is rather obscure) the original meaning of uin, preserved in poetry, was ‘wave’. Another Gnomish word for ‘whale’ is uimoth ‘sheep of the waves’ (moth ‘sheep, also ‘1000’, probably originally ‘flock’ mothweg ‘shepherd’).
Uinen See Уnen.
UlmoUlmo is given in QL under the root ULU ‘pour, flow fast’, together with ulu- and ulto- ‘pour’, in transitive and intransitive senses. His name in Gnomish is Gulma, with corresponding verbs gul- and gulta-. In the draft text of The Music of the Ainur he is also called Linqil: see Nielнqui. For other names see Vailimo.
Ulmonan See Ulmo; the second element of this name is not explained.
Ungoliont See Ungwл Lianti.
Ungwл Lianti, Ungweliant(л)1 Under a queried root GUNGU QL gives ungwл ‘spider, especially Ungwл the Gloomweaver, usually Ungwelianti’. The second element is from root LI + ya ‘entwine’, with derivatives lia ‘twine’, liantл ‘tendril’, liantassл ‘vine’. In GL the name as originally entered was Gungliont, as also first written in the text (p. 156); later this was changed to ‘Ungweliont or Ungoliont’. The second element is assigned to root l
- (lind ‘twine’).Uolл KъvionKъvion was changed from Mikъmi (p. 198). The name is not in QL under the root KUVU ‘bend, bow’, which has derivatives kы ‘crescent Moon’, kъnл ‘crescent, bow’. GL gives cы ‘bow, crescent; the waxing or waning Moon’, and also ‘Cuvonweg: Ыl Cuvonweg (="Q." уlл Kъmion), the Moonking’. Under Ыl the Qenya equivalent is however Uolл, and here it is said that the name Ыl is usually in the phrase Ыl · a · Rinthilios; while Rinthilios is glossed ‘the orbed Moon, name of the Moon-elf’ (rinc ‘circular’, noun ‘disc’ rin- ‘revolve, return’).
Ыr The root URU/USU in QL has derivatives uru ‘fire’, ъrin ‘blazing hot’, uruvoitл ‘fiery’, urъva ‘like fire’, urwa ‘on fire’, Ыr ‘the Sun’ (with other forms Ъri, Ъrinki, Urwen), ъrion ‘a name of Fionwл’, urna ‘oven’, usta-, urya- ‘burn’ (transitive and intransitive). The Gnomish form is Aur (aurost ‘dawn’), and also a poetic word Uril. See Fionwл-Ъrion, Urwen.
Urwen, Urwendi In the earlier tales in this book the form is Urwen, becoming Urwendi in the Tale of the Sun and Moon. The original entry in GL was ‘Urwendi and Urwin (Q. Urwen) the maiden of the Sun-ship’, but this was later changed to read ‘Urwedhin and Urwin (Q. Urwendi)’. In QL (see Ыr) Urwen appears as a name of the Sun. In the Valar name-list the Sun-maiden is also called Ъrinki, and this also appears in QL as a name of the Sun.
The element -wen is given in QL under root GWENE: wen and wendi ‘maid, girl’, -wen feminine patronymic, like masculine -ion, wendelл ‘maidenhood’ (see Wendelin). In GL the forms were much changed and confused. The words given have stems in gwin-, gwen-, gweth, with meanings ‘woman’, ‘girl’, etc.; the root seems to have been changed from gweni- to gwedhe-, with reference both to Qenya meril (see Meril-i-Turinqi) and Qenya wendi.
Utumna In QL the root of Utumna (‘lower regions of gloom and darkness in the North, Melko’s first dwelling’) is not given, but cf. the word tumna ‘deep, profound, dark or hidden’ cited under Tombo. In Gnomish the forms are Udum and Uduvna; Belcha (Melko) is called Uduvrin.
Ъvanimor See Vбna.
Vai The root VAYA ‘enfold’ in QL yields Vai ‘the Outer Ocean’, Vaimo or Vailimo ‘Ulmo as Ruler of Vai’, vaima ‘robe’, vainл ‘sheath’, vainolл ‘quiver’, vaita- ‘to wrap’, Vaitya вhe outermost airs beyond the worldв™ etc. In Gnomish the form is Bai, with related words Baithon вhe outer airsв™ baith вarmentв™ baidha вo clotheв™ bain вlad (Q. vaina)в™
Vailimo See Vai. In Gnomish the form is Belmoth (< Bailmoth); there is also a poetic name Bairos. Ulmo is also called in Gnomish i Chorweg a В Vai, i.e. вhe old one of Vaiв™(hГr вld, ancient (only of things still existing)в™ hortha- вrow oldв™ horoth вld ageв™ HГs вld ageв™ a name of Fuil).
