Q. Mar Vanwa Tyaliéva loc. “House of Past (or Departed) Mirth”
The Early Qenya name for the “Cottage of the Lost Play” from the 1920s reappeared in some later notes from the late 1940s and early 1950s (PE17/64; PE21/69, 80). In one of these places the name was translated “House of Past (or Departed) Mirth” and was said to be another name for Imladris (PE21/80). It is a combination of mar “house”, vanwa “lost” and the possessive form of tyalië “mirth”. It is remarkable that this early name remained the same in Late Quenya as it was conceived after Tolkien finished The Lord of the Rings.
See ᴱQ. Mar Vanwa Tyaliéva for further discussion.
