Haloisi Velikл (On the ‘World-Ship’ drawing, p. 84.) In QL haloisi ‘the sea (in storm)’ is given under a root HALA, with other derivatives haloitл ‘leaping’, halta- ‘to leap’.

To Qenya velikл ‘great’ corresponds Gnomish beleg ‘mighty, great’ (as in Beleg the Bowman in the tale of Tъrin).

Helkar QL under root HELE has helkл ‘ice’, helka ‘ice-cold’, hilkin ‘it freezes’, halkin ‘frozen’. GL has helc, heleg ‘ice’, hel- ‘freeze’, heloth ‘frost’, etc., and helcor ‘arctic cold, utter frost’ this last was changed to read helchor ‘antarctic cold, utter frost of the South (the pillar of the Southern Lamp). Q. Helkar.’

Helkaraksл See Helkar; Helkaraksл is not in either dictionary and the second element is obscure, unless it is to be connected with Q. aksa ‘waterfall’ (see Asgon).

Heskil The root HESE ‘winter’ in QL has derivatives Heskil ‘winter one’, Hesin ‘winter’, hessa ‘dead, withered’, hesta- ‘wither’. In GL are Hess ‘winter, especially as name of Fuil’, and hesc ‘withered, dead; chill’. For another name of Fui Nienna see Vailimo.

Hisildi See Hisilуmл.

1 Hisilуmл Under the root HISI QL gives hнsл, histл, ‘dusk’, Hisinan ‘Land of Twilight’. For the translation of Hisilуmл as ‘Shadowy Twilights’ see p. 112.

The root LOMO has many derivatives, as lуmл ‘dusk, gloom, darkness’, lуmлar ‘child of gloom’ (cf. Lуmлarni), lуmin ‘shade, shadow’, lomir ‘I hide’, lomba ‘secret’. Cf. Wirilуmл. Gnomish words are lфm ‘gloom, shade’, lуmin ‘shadowy, gloomy’ and noun ‘gloom’: so Dor Lуmin. The same element occurs in Lomendбnar ‘Days of Gloaming’.

Ilinsor A late entry in GL gives Glinthos="Qenya" Ilinsor, Helmsman of the Moon. The first element is probably glint ‘crystal’. Ilinsor does not appear in QL.

Ilkorin A negative prefix il- is given in both dictionaries; in GL it is said that il- ‘denotes the opposite, the reversal, i.e. more than the mere negation’. See Kфr.

Ilsaluntл (Name of the Moon.) Ilsa is given in QL as ‘the mystic name of silver, as laurл of gold’ it is the i of tilkal, p. 100. For luntл ‘ship’ see Alqaluntл. The Gnomish name is Gilthalont; giltha ‘white metal’ is said to be properly the same as celeb ‘silver’ (Q. telpл), but now including gais ‘steel’, ladog ‘tin’, etc., as opposed to culu ‘gold’ and culu is said to be a poetic word for ‘gold’ but ‘also used mythically as a class name of all red and vellow metals, as giltha of white and grey’. See Telimpл.

Ilterendi In the text the fetters are called Ilterendi ‘for they might not be filed or cleft’ (p. 101); but root TERE in QL has derivatives with a sense of ‘boring’ (tereva ‘piercing’, teret ‘auger, gimlet’).

Ilъvatar There can be no doubt that the original meaning of Ilъvatar was ‘Sky-father’ (in QL is found atar ‘father’); see Ilwл.

Ilverin Elvish name of Littleheart son of Bronweg. The rejected name Elwenildo (p. 52) contains the word elwen ‘heart’ given in QL; GL gives the word ilf ‘heart (especially used of feelings)’, and several names (Ilfin(g), Ilfiniol, Ilfrith) corresponding to Qenya Ilwerin.

Ilwл In QL the word ilu is glossed ‘ether, the slender airs among the stars’, while in GL the Gnomish name Ilon of Illъvatar is said to="Qenya" Ilu. In QL ilwл was first glossed ‘sky, heavens’, with a later addition ‘the blue air that is about the stars, the middle layers’ to this in Gnomish corresponds ilwint—concerning which it is explained in GL that the true form ilwi or ilwin was perverted to ilwint through association with gwint ‘face’, as if it meant ‘face of God’. Other words found in Gnomish are Ilbar, Ilbaroth ‘heaven, the uttermost region beyond the world’ Ilador, Ilathon=Ilъvatar; ilbrant ‘rainbow’ (see Ilweran).

Ilweran QL gives Ilweran, Ilweranta ‘rainbow’ (another word for the rainbow in Q1enya is Iluqinga, in which qinga means ‘bow’ qingi-twang, of strings, harp’). In Gnomish the corresponding forms are Ilbrant or Ilvrant, which are said in GL to be falsely associated with brant ‘bow (for shooting)’ the second element is related rather to rantha ‘arch, bridge’, as Q. Ilweran(ta) shows.

Ingil In GL the Gnomish names of Inwл’s son are Gilweth and Githilma; Gil is the star Sirius, and is said to be the name of Gilweth after he rose into the heavens and ‘in the likeness of a great bee bearing honey of flame followed Daimord [Telimektar, Orion]’ see entries Nielluin, Telimektar. No explanation of these names is given, but Gil(weth) is clearly connected with gil- ‘gleam’, gilm ‘moonlight’, giltha ‘white metal’ (see Ilsaluntл). For Githilma see Isil.
