This update of our Quenya Dictionary is for the first time in English, in the
context of the new English part of our website.
http://www.ambar-eldaron.com/english
This dictionary is intended to be a practical tool for the study of (neo-)

Quenya.
In fact, we list only the latest known version of a word, without the
forms abandoned or revised by Tolkien or the older forms.
The latest released features of PE17 are enclosed.
Only the definition of each word is proposed.
For a deeper study of the Etymology of the words please refer to the
reference in the matter, Helge Fauskanger’s Quettaparma.
http://folk.uib.no/hnohf/wordlists.htm
http://www.ambar-eldaron.com/eng-quen.pdf
http://www.ambar-eldaron.com/quen-eng.pdf
The main feature we propose is the complete listing of all the English-
Quenya definitions, that is, when a Quenya word has many definitions in
English, we report all of them in the English-Quenya section. So, under
any of them, you’ll find your word.
We hope this dictionary will be useful.
