#(i think. sindarin adjective mair (precious) is for works of art only)

[vorbarrsultana]

Has anyone tried to sindarize Amarië? Her name is derived from márië (Q., n., "goodness, happiness") with infinitive prefix a-. Sindarin doesn't have the exact equivalent of márië (or mára, the compatible adjective). However, it has the word maer (S., adj., "good, excellent, fair") which cognates with both mára (Q., adj., "good, proper, fit") and maira (Q., adj., "excellent, admirable, precious"). Related adverb mae means "well" (as in "mae govannen" = "well met"), and mae- is featured in maed (S., adj., "shapely, pretty"; Maedhros = "maed (shapely)" + "ross (red-haired)"). The noun for "goodness" in Sindarin seems to be maeras. That said, the best I can come up with is Maereth, which is maer + feminine suffix -eth.

(There is another version of ethymology of Amarië, where her name means "of the home": "en" (S., pr., "of the") + "bâr" (S., n., "dwelling, home") + feminine suffix. Bâreneth, then? Or Bârenel(-il)? Bonus of this version — sounds like a Bëorian name.)
