One Word Meme – MisbehavingMaiar: Tumblr Archive

♦

For you, Left-hander: “Zā’irānu”, the enemy. One who hates, who gores his adversaries like a bull, fearful in his splendor.

♦(for Loth and Tyelpe?)

For Tyelperinquar, I hear a word in my mind with two meanings, one for hope and one for sorrow: “lallariš”, like honey which could have sweetened the future, and like the wail of a mourner.

♦ (both if you have time, thank you muchly!)

For the little maia, the word I recall is “papallu”; a young shoot, a sapling, a beloved offspring. Something to be nurtured while it grows, like a spark.

Hah. For the haughty prince, I think “šanāṣu”; to sneer and turn up the nose, one whose expression is always that of a pampered courtesan addressing a ragged suitor. That is all the nuance I have ever seen from thee, whose mouth would not melt ice.

♦ ey

Ah, my stubborn foe, o headstrong fool: “Zikku” is the word in my mind for you… A zenith, a culminating point, and also the cutting edge of a blade. (Ironically, its homophone, “ziqqu”, means the ornament of a crown…)

I might say also “Kuzābu”; beautiful, well-formed, for that you are… though your beauty lives on only in the lights of my crown.

♦

“Ajudāru”. An impudent servant, in need of discipline.

♦

As I do not know this elda personally, I can only liken her to that which I liken all elven minstrels: “kudurānnu”; a little bird that brays ceaselessly like a donkey.

♦

If I am being generous and true to your name, I’d say the word you evoke is “ūmiŝ’ukkudu”, like a violent storm that does not turn back, and the day that shines like fire; a man whose aggression inspires fear.

If I were less generous, I’d call you “ú-ziqnanu sagkuudû”, a beardless fish with its head cut off.

♦ from both muses please Iloveyou

The word my jester brings to mind is ‘zūkku’: it means ‘clarity’, as in the transparency of quiet, clear water. He is gentle in manner and speech, and hides nothing from me.

Of Salgant? “Rīmtumārû”. A white calf, fattened and gleaming, whose sacred body shines.
