ᴺQ. !ellöare n. “anniversary, (lit.) next year day” (Category: Year)
A neologism for “anniversary” coined by Paul Strack specifically for Eldamo, a combination of en- “again; future”, löa “(solar) year”, and ré “day”, more literally “next year day”. Boris Shapiro instead suggested atyenárë “anniversary” in Parma Penyanë Quettaron (PPQ) from the early 2000s as the Quenya equivalent of N. edinar “anniversary”, combining of [ᴹQ.] at(a)- “again”, yén “year”, and are “day”. However, in Tolkien’s later writings these three elements meant “twice, a second time”, “144 years (an Elvish century)”, and “sunlight”, so I don't think they work for “anniversary” anymore.
