Hello!
How to say in Quenya and Sindarin "mother of dragons"?
There are a lot of words for Mother in Quenya.
Quenya:
amal/emel/amil/emil/ontarë/ontaril/ontarië lócion
Sindarin:
Naneth/Odhril-i-Lŷg

I have another query in regards to a name.
I found several female names relating to waterfalls (Vanlanthiriel, Vanyalanthiriel; which apparently both mean "beautiful waterfall"), but nothing quite like what I'm looking for. I need a name that means something along the lines of "heart of the waterfall", "spirit of the waterfall" or even "heart/spirit of water", or "heart/spirit of the spring". Could also be "pure water", "divine water", or anything that sounds fitting. It will be the name of a female deity who is essentially an Undine.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Oh wow, those are some terrible translations. Mixed languages and so long and clumsy! First, let's correct the original translations.
Lant-hir is the word for "Waterfall", an Exilic-Sindarin word, so we'll do Exilic Sindarin. "Beautiful" would be "bain" or "bân" or "dail/deil". Now, without adding any gender suffixes, you'd get these, with a more Exilic flavor:
Bainlanthir
Banlanthir
Deillanthir
There's no word for "waterfall" in Quenya, so we'll skip Quenya.
"Heart of the Waterfall"
Enedlanthir - Center of the Waterfall
Indlanthir - Emotional center/Mind of the Waterfall
Gúrlanthir - Conscience of the Waterfall
"Spirit of the Waterfall"
Faerlanthir
Faelanthir
For the rest of them, because we have the vocabulary, I'll do both Sindarin and Quenya, Exilic dialects for both.
"Spirit of Water"
Sindarin:
Faenen
Faernen
Quenya:
Fëanen
"Heart of Water"
Sindarin:
Enenen - Center of Water
Innen - Emotional center/Mind of Water
Gúrnen - Conscience of Water
Quenya:
Endenen - Center of Water
Indonen - Emotional center/Mind of Water
Órenen - Conscience of Water
I have no idea what exactly you mean when referring to "pure", so I'll let you define it if none of these names are fitting.
"Divine Water" - The Tolkien-Elvish words that are bound with this concept are deeply imbedded in the lore of Arda, and may not translate very well into whatever canon you're writing in.
Sindarin:
Balnen - Power (a term for the members of Arda's Pantheon) Water
Quenya:
Valanen - Power Water
Valainanen - Water of the Powers
How's that?
