Valatar(Valatár-)

as in "gen.sg. Valatáren", in Tolkien's later Quenya this is a dative singular instead noun "Vala-king", applied to the nine chief male Valar: Manwe, Ulmo, Aule, Mandos, Lorien, Tulkas, Ossë, Orome, and Melkor. Note: This list, set down in the Etymologies, differs from the scenario of the published Silmarillion; Ossë is not a Vala in Tolkien's later conception. BAL, VT46:17. Compare Valatári.
