 <p>After the “Time of Children”, the marriage was less intimate than it was in the beginning, and it became more like close friendship once the desire for children waned. In fact, it was not unusual for long-married Elves to live apart for extended periods, as their interests drew them in different directions. Elves could also have close friendships (<i>melmë</i>) with people other than their spouse.</p>
 
-<p>It is not clear how much of this idealized view of marriage was reflected in the actual lives of Elves. In times of strife, marriage could be delayed, as well as childrearing after marriage. It was the act of child bearing itself that taxed their spirits, so that Elves who refrained from having children remained fertile long into their lives, though those who lived millenia without childbearing would eventually lose that capacity. It was also possible that some Elves would never find a suitable mate, either because one could not be found, or because the one they loved did not share their feelings.</p>

 <p>It was also possible for Elves to have unhealthy marriages, though they still remained permanent. The best known example is the union of Eöl and Aredhel, where Eöl trapped Aredhel into marriage. But even there Tolkien said “It is not said that Aredhel was wholly unwilling, nor that her life in Nan Elmoth was hateful to her for many years” (S/133). Tolkien also said that “Even when in after days, as the histories reveal, many of the Eldar in Middle-earth became corrupted, and their hearts darkened by the shadow that lies upon Arda, seldom is any tale told of deeds of lust among them” (MR/210).</p>

 <li>Note ¹: Quenya distinguishes legitimate sexual desire <i>yermë</i> (which is always accompanied by <i>melmë</i> “love”) from illegitimate sexual desire or “lust” <i>mailë</i>.</li>
 <li>Note ²: The Elvish notion of “love” distinguishes close emotional love (<i>mel-</i>) used with both lovers and close friends, and less emotional “love” (!<i>nil-</i>) used of more casual friends as well as things one is devoted to such as an art, science or nation. In his own writing, Tolkien did not use <i>nil-</i> as a Quenya verb, so strictly speaking this is a neologism, though Tolkien often gave its ancient root √<i>NDIL</i> this verbal sense (Let/386; PE17/152).</li>
-<li>Note ³: Tolkien translated the Elvish word <i>nos(së)</i> as “family”, and it is often used as such in Elvish writing, but Tolkien also translated it as “clan, kindred”, indicating it more specifically means an “extended family” or even a “house” as in <i>nossë Finwëo</i> “the house of Finwë” including all his descendents. For a “nuclear family” (father, mother and children) I personally use the neologism !<i>orendë</i>, inspired by Tolkien’s word ᴱQ. <i>soresta</i> “family = together kin” from the 1910s (PE12/85).</li>

 <p>The words !<i>nil-</i> and !<i>orendë</i> are our first examples of neologisms in this course: new Elvish words invented by fans (only one of which, <i>orendë</i>, is the invention of the course’s author). The exclamation mark “!” before vocabulary words indicates they are neologisms. This particular pair of neologisms is included here because we know that the contrasting words <i>mel-</i> (“to love deeply and emotionally”) and <i>nossë</i> (“extended family”) had particular meanings in Tolkien’s writings, but we don’t know the Quenya words for the opposing terms (“to love less emotionally” and “nuclear family”).</p>
