ló

1 noun "night, a night" DO3/DŌ, VT45:28 lo 2 prep. “from”, also used = “by” introducing the agent after a passive construction: nahtana ló Turin *“slain by Túrin” VT49:24. A similar and possibly identical form is mentioned in the Etymologies as being somehow related to the ablative ending -llo, but is not there clearly defined VT45:28. At one point, Tolkien suggested that lo rather than the ending -llo was used with proper names lo Manwë rather than Manwello for “from Manwë”, but this seems to have been a short-lived idea VT49:24.
