Eldamo : Quenya : arma

Q. arma n. “ray of sunlight” (Category: Sun)

Q. arma, n. “ray of sunlight” (Category: Sun): ᴱQ. arma “flock of sheep”; ᴱQ. firin¹ “ray of sun”

A word for “a ray of sunlight” in Quenya Notes from 1957 (QN) derived from √AS “warmth” (PE17/148). I think it is a ray of light that is also warm, as opposed to alca which is merely bright but not warm.
