The Noldor are named also Nurqendi Deep-elves, Ainimor [written above: Istimor] 'the Wise', and Kuluqendi 'Golden-elves', The Teleri are named also Falmarindi 'Foam-riders', Soloneldi 'Musicians of the shore', and Veaneldar 'Sea-elves'. The name Vanimor is used in A V 2 of the lesser spirits of Valarin race, among whom were 'later numbered' also the Valarindi, the Children of the Valar (pp. 110, 121); the latter are the Vanimor in the Etymologies, stem BAN, but under the negative stems UGU, UMU the name is translated 'fair folk = (men and) elves'. Some other of these names also appear in the Etymologies: Tarqendi (TA), Nurqendi (NU), Istimor (is), Falmarindi (PHAL), Soloneldi (SOL). With Irimor cf. Irima ye Numenor in The Lost Road (p. 72), and see stem ID. II. THE LIST OF NAMES. During the 1930S my father began the task of making an alphabetic list, with definitions, of all the names in his works concerned with the legends of the Elder Days. A list of sources is attached to this list, and the entries are accompanied by full references to sources (by page-number or annal- date) - but these references are almost entirely confined to the Annals of Beleriand and the Genealogies: the only others are a few to the first pages of the Qenta Noldorinwa (Q) and two to the Map. In the list of sources 'Annals of Beleriand' and 'Genealogies' are marked with a tick; it is clear he stopped. As the List of Names was originally written the references are only to the first version of AB i (but include additions made to that text subsequently and given in the notes in I V. 310 - 13). But after the list was abandoned as a methodical work of reference my father added to it more haphazardly, without references, and these later additions show use of the second version of AB i, as well as some names that do not appear in any of the texts; entries were also substantially modified and extended. The majority of the entries do not in fact add anything in their definitions to what is available in the sources, and it is quite unnecessary to give the work in full. There follows here a small selection from the material, this being restricted to those entries or parts of entries which have some particular feature of interest (mostly concerning names or name-forms). Aldaron The Noldorin equivalent is given as Galadon, which does not appear elsewhere. Balrog is said to be an Orc-word with no pure Qenya equivalent: 'borrowed Malaroko-'; contrast the Etymologies, stems NCWAL, RUK. Beleriand 'Originally land about southern Sirion, named by the Elves of the Havens from Cape Balar, and Bay of Balar into which Sirion flowed; extended to all lands south of Hithlum and Taur-na-Danion, and west of Eredlindon. Its southern borders undefined. Sometimes includes Doriath and Ossiriand.' With this statement of the extent of |
