Silmo See Sil. In QL Silmo is translated ‘the Moon’, and in GL Silmo is given as the Gnomish equivalent of Qenya Silmo.
Silpion See Sil. The Gnomish names are Silpios or Piosil, but no meaning is given.
Silubrilthin See Silmarilli.
Sirion QL root SIRI ‘flow’, with derivatives sindi ‘river’ (cf. Kelusindi) sirл ‘stream’, sнrima ‘liquid, flowing’. In GL are given sоr ‘river siriol ‘flowing’, and Sirion (poetic word) ‘river, properly name of the famous magic river that flowed through Garlisgion and Nantathrir’ (Garlisgion ‘the Place of Reeds’ survived in Lisgardh ‘the land of reeds at the Months of Sirion’, Unfinished Tales p. 34. Cf. Sirnъmen, and the name it replaced, Numessir.
Sirnъmen See Sirion, Nъmл.
Solosimpi QL gives Solosimpл ‘the Shoreland Pipers’, of which the first element is from root SOLO: solmл ‘wave’, solor, solossл ‘surf, surge’ (cf. Solуrл name of Уnen), and the second from SIPI ‘whistle, pipe’: simpa, simpina ‘pipe, flute’, simpisл ‘piping’, simpetar ‘piper’. In GL the Gnomish name of the Solosimpi is Thlossibin or Thlossibrim, from thloss ‘breaker’, with a variant Flossibrim. The word floss is said to have been formed from thloss by influence of flass ‘seamarge, surf; margin, fringe’.
Sorontur Derived from a root SORO ‘eagle’: sor, sornл ‘eagle’, sornion ‘eyrie’, Sorontur ‘King of Eagles’. For -tur see Meril-i-Turinqi. The Gnomish forms are thorn ‘eagle’, thrond ‘(eyrie), pinnacle’, Thorndor and Throndor ‘King of E1agles’.
Sъlimo In QL under the three root-forms SUHYU, SUHU, SUFU ‘air, breathe, exhale, puff’ are given sы ‘noise of wind’, sъlimл ‘wind’, and Sъlimi, -o ‘Vali of Wind="Manwл" and Varda’. This probably means that Manwл was Sъlimo and Varda Sъlimi, since Varda is called Sъltha ‘blow (of wind)’, but Manwл’s wind-name is Saulmoth (saul ‘a great wind’), which is said to be an older form of later Solmoth; and this‘="Q." Sъlimi. GL has sы ‘noise of wind’, sъltha ‘blow (of wind’, but Manwл’s wind-name is Saulmoth (saul ‘a great wind’), which is said to be an older form of later Solmoth; and this ‘="Q." Sъlimo’.
In Gnomish he is also called Gwanweg (gwб ‘wind’, gwam ‘gust of wind’), often combined with Man (See Manwл) as Man ’Wanweg="Q." Manwл Sъlimo. The root GW
Sъruli See Sъlimo. Sъruli is not in QL, but GL has Sulus (plurals Sulussin and Suluthrim) ‘one of Manwл’s two clans of air-spirits, Q. Sъru plural Sъruli’.
Talka Marda This title of Aulл, translated in the text (p. 180) as ‘Smith of the World’, is not found in QL, but GL gives ‘Martaglos, correctly Maltagros, title of уla, Smith of the World’ as the equivalent of Qenya Talka Marwa; also tagros, taglos ‘smith’. He is also called уla Mar; and in the Valar name-list Aulл Mar. (Long afterwards this title of Aulл reappeared. In a very late note he is given the name mbartan
Taniquetil Under the root TAHA (see Qalmл-Tбri) Taniqetil is given in QL with the meaning ‘lofty snowcap’. The second element is from root NIQI (ninqл ‘white’, niqis ‘snow’, niqetil ‘snowcap’ cf. nieninqл ‘white tear’ (snowdrop) in entry Nнeliqui).
The Gnomish form is Danigwethil (dв ‘high’), but the second element seems to be different, since GL gives a word nigweth ‘storm (properly of snow, but that sense has evaporated)’.
Tanyasalpл Translated in the text ‘the bowl of fire’ (p. 187). salpa ‘bowl’ is given in QL under a root SLPL, with sulp- ‘lick’, salpa ‘take a sup of’, sulpa ‘soup’. Tanya is not in QL; GL has tan ‘firewood’, tantha- ‘kindle’, tang ‘flame, flash’, and Tanfa ‘the lowest of all airs, the hot air of the deep places’.
Tбri-Laisi For Tбri see Qalmл-Tб. In QL the root LAYA ‘be alive, flourish’ has derivatives lairл ‘meadow’, laiqa ‘green’, laito and laisi both meaning ‘youth, vigour, new life’. The Gnomish words are laib (also glaib) ‘green’, laigos ‘greenness, ="Q." laiqassл‘, lair (also glair) ‘meadow’. The following note is of great interest: ‘Note Laigolas="green-leaf" [see Gar Lossion], becoming archaic because of final form becoming laib, gave Legolast i.e. keen-sight [last ‘look, glance’, leg, lкg ‘keep, piercing’]. But perhaps both were his names, as the Gnomes delighted to give two similar-sounding names of dissimilar meaning, as Laigolas Legolast, Tъrin Turambar, etc. Legolas the ordinary form is a confusion of the two.’ (Legolas Greenleaf appears in the tale of The Fall of Gondolin; he was an Elf of Gondolin, and being night, sighted he led the fugitives from the city over the plain in the dark. A note associated with the tale says that ‘he liveth still in Tol Eressлa named by the Eldar there Laiqalassл’.)
Tarn Fui See Moritarnon, Fui.
Tavari In the list of fays referred to under Nandini the Tavari are ‘fays of the woods’. In QL tavar (tavarni) ‘dale-sprites’ is derived from a root TAVA, whence also tauno ‘forest’, taulл ‘great tree.’, tavas ‘woodland’. GL has tavor ‘a wood-fay’, taur, tavros ‘forest’ (Tavros also a proper name, ‘chief wood-fay, the Blue Spirit of the Woods’. Later, Tavros became a name of Oromл, leading through Tauros to the form Tauron in The Silmarillion).
Tavrobel This is given in GL with the translation ‘wood-home’ (see Tavari). The element pel is said to be ‘usual only in such place-names as Tavrobel, and means ‘village, hamlet, -ham’. In a separate note elsewhere an additional Gnomish name Tavrost is given, and Qenya names Tavaros(sл), Taurossл. Tavrost evidently contains rost ‘slope, hillside, ascent’, with associated words rosta ‘ascent’ (Rost’ aura ‘Sunrise’), ront ‘high, steep’, ascribed to a stem r
