Q. öar adv. “(towards) away” (Category: From, Away)
An adverbial form appearing in the Quendi and Eldar essay from 1959-60 (WJ/364). It was a combination of the root √AWA “away” with the ancient allative suffix ✶-da “towards” (WJ/366), so literally meaning “towards away”. It was therefore used to indicate motion, as in mennes öar “he went away”. See the entry öa for other “away” adverbs.
Conceptual Development: Some similar forms appeared in earlier writings. There was avar “away down” in the 1958 poem Löa Yucainen in the phrase löa yucainen avar Anduinë sí valútier “twenty years have flowed away down the Long River” (CPT/1298). There was var “*away from” as a deleted preposition in one version of the Átaremma prayer from earlier in the 1950s (VT43/10).
