Usage examples of atari.

Again using the letter "ñ" with its Spanish value of a palatalized n (and not, as Tolkien often did, for ng as in king), one may ask whether a word like atarinya ("my father", LR:61) actually represents "atariñña".
The (nominative) plural "my fathers" would of course be atarinyar, so the singular and plural remain distinct.
In either case, a word like atarinya "my father" (that is, atariñña or atariñya) would then logically be accented on the i according to the normal rules.
Other attestations come from a source that is more definitely Quenya or at least "Qenya": In LR:61, Herendil addresses his father Elendil with the words atarinya tye-melánë, "my father, I love thee", and Elendil answers, a yonya inyë tye-méla, "and I too, my son, I love thee".
The student may remember that the ending for "my", -nya, seems to prefer -i as its connecting vowel where one is required (as in atarinya "my father", LR:61).
Maybe not, for in the Etymologies, the plural form of atar is simply atari (entry ATA-).
