S. míriel adj. “sparkling like jewels, like a jewel” (Category: Gem, Jewel)

S. míriel, adj. “sparkling like jewels, like a jewel” (Category: Gem, Jewel)

An adjective meaning for “sparkling like jewels” (RGEO/64) in the poem A Elbereth Gilthoniel (LotR/238). It was the passive participle of the verb míria- “to sparkle like jewels” (PE17/24). Tolkien also considered connecting it to Quenya past passive participles like káriela in notes from 1969, perhaps from a verb *mir- with a Q. past participle míriela, but this Q. form was deleted and the whole thing seems to have been a transient idea (PE22/152).
