ВВВВВThe Gnomish words are complicated and curious. As first written, there was Ban в god, one of the great Valarв™ plural Banin, and вi>Dorв™Vanion=Dor Banion=Gwalien (or Valinor)в™ All this was struck out. Elsewhere in GL is given the root GWAL вortune, happinessв™ Gwala вne of the gods, including their divine folk and children, hence often used of one of the lesser folk as opposed to Banв™Gwalon and Gwalthi corresponding to Qenya Valon, Valsi; gwalt вood luckв”ny providential occurrence or thought: вњhe luck of the Valarв i В walt ne Vanion (Q. valto)в™and other abstract words, as gwalweth вortune, happinessв™ Of the later interpretation of Valar there is thus no suggestion. See further under VГna.
ValatГru See Valar, Meril-i-Turinqi.
Valinor In QL two forms are given, Valinor and ValinГrГ (the latter also occurs in the text, p. 182), both glossed вsgardв™(i.e. the City of the Gods in Norse mythology). For the Gnomish names (Gwalien, etc.) see Valar.

The corresponding Qenya names are given in GL as FГ and Favilna, and these appear in QL under a root FAGA without translation, merely as equivalents of Vilna. Other Gnomish words are gwil- вail, float, flyв™ gwilith вreezeв™ gwilbrin вutterflyв™ these correspond to words in QL under a root GWILI, wili- вail, float, flyв™ wilin вirdв™ wilwarin вutterflyв™ Another name of Manweg as Lord of the Winds, Famfir, is given in GL.
