Yavanna-ness [September] 19 (nineteen), 2026 (twenty six twenty), Star-day [Saturday]Word of the day
carnë — adj: red
ancarnë — comparative adj: reder
aricarnë — superlative adj: redest
carni — pl. adj: red
ancarni — pl. comparative adj: reder
aricarni — pl. superlative adj: redestThe Tengwar
The twentysecond letter of the tengwar is vala which is used for the letter V. The word vala means "(angelic/demonic) power". It is seen in the term Valar, the name of the angels who took up the task of shaping and ruling the world, and also in valarauko ("power demon"), the Quenya word equivalent to the more well known Sindarin word balrog. -

Yavannië 18 (tolquë), 2026 (yuquain enquë yuquain), Valanya
Yavanna-ness [September] 18 (eighteen), 2026 (twenty six twenty), Vala-day [Friday]Word of the day
morna — adj: black
ammorna — comparative adj: blacker
arimorna — superlative adj: blackest
mornë — pl. adj: black
ammornë — pl. comparative adj: blacker
arimornë — pl. superlative adj: blackest
mornavë — adv: blacklyNote that here I have included the plural adjectives and the adverbial form as well. Adjectives in Quenya must agree in number with the nouns they describe.
The Tengwar
The twentyfirst letter of the tengwar is órë which was originally used for weak (untrilled), medial R, but by the third age had been replaced by rómen representing a trilled R. In one important example of tengwar writing, Tolkien used órë to represent R before a consonant, and at the ends of words, though this may have been an aesthetic choice rather than a phonetic indication. The word órë means "heart (inner mind)". -

Yavannië 17 (otoquë), 2026 (yuquain enquë yuquain), Eärenya
Yavanna-ness [September] 17 (seventeen), 2026 (twenty six twenty), Sea-day [Thursday]Word of the day
ninquë — adj: white; chill, cold; pallid
anninquë — comparative adj: whiter
arininquë — superlative adj: whitestHere I have shown one of the many ways Tolkien expressed comparative and superlative forrms over the years. Unfortunately he never really settled on how these things should be done, changing the grammar many times, including in the late 1960's in the years just before his death. The forms I have given, and will continue to give, are perhaps the simplest way of doing things, but for a full discussion of the difficulties of comparison, see the Eldamo website here:

The Tengwar
The twentieth letter of the tengwar is nwalme, originally ñwalme, which is used for the letter combination NW, originally ÑW. The word nwalme means "torment". -
