it's probably crude, but maybe...
Almie Edinar, Lucy May that is, from Etymologies: YEN- year. Q yén (yen-); linyenwa old, having many years [LI]. Last day of year = qantien, N penninar [KWAT]; first year, first day minyen [MINI]. Endien Midyear [ÉNED] was a week outside the months, between the sixth and seventh months, [?dedicated] to the Trees: [also called] Aldalemnar, see LEP. N în year; ínias annals; iđrin year (= ien-rinde, see RIN); edinar (at-yēn-ar) anniversary day; ennin = Valian Year; ingem ‘year-sick’ = old (mortally) [GENG-WĀ]; ifant aged, long-lived (= yen-panta > impanta > in-fant) [KWAT]. and GALA- thrive (prosper, be in health - be glad). Q ‘al m the following forms which are not confused with ala- ‘not’: alya prosperous, rich, abundant, blessed; alma good fortune, weal, wealth; almie, almare blessedness, ‘blessings’, good fortune, bliss; almárea blessed. Cf. name Almáriel. N galw; cf. names Galadhor, Galdor (later Gallor)–though these may contain GÁLAD. N galas growth, plant; galo- to grow. Possibly related are GÁLAD, GALÁS

I've always been facinated by Tolkien's lanuages, and I'm trying to learn one of them myself actually. I did some research and this is what I found out.
Quenya; Alassëa nosta Alass= Joy - ëa= is the adjective ending. Alassëa=Joyful? Nosta= birth or birthday Alassëa nosta, Lucy May=Joyful birthday, Lucy May(?)/ Happy Birthday, Lucy May(?) *** Sindarin; Edinor veren<- Edinor=Anniversary day (I think) ver=Joy - en= Adjective ending Edinor veren, Lucy May= Joyful anniversary day, Lucy May (?) *** I'm not 100% sure these are correct, but this was the best I could do. Good luck with the card! Cheers, Orofaniel

Sindarin
I'd go for Sindarin, Quenya became a little like Latin...pretty much no longer used in the third and fourth ages of ME.

Perhaps this is too much or too late, but there are ways to translate 'Lucy May' as well. Lucy, (according to the book I'm holding) comes from Latin as 'light' which is cala in Quenya and galad in Sindarin. May, taken as the month, is in Quenya Lótessë, and in Sindarin Lothron.
Hope that helps! |
