I found a reference to the Úvanimor in Shaping of Middle-earth, “The earliest annals of Valinor”, p 350 in the paperback edition. The Vanimor, or Valarindi, are “the Children of the Valar, ‘who were many and very beautiful’, are counted among the Vanimor”. Christopher Tolkien says that his “father was trying to emphasize the generative powers of the great Valar, though afterwards all trace of the conception disappeared.” The word Vanimor is translated as “the Fair,” so it stands to reason that Úvanimor could translate as “the Ugly.”
In Book of Lost Tales, Part Two, “Turambar and the Foalókë”, p 136, Quote:
Quote:
The primary references to Úvanimor are in Book of Lost Tales, Part One. There are page references to them in Shaping of Middle-earth and Book of Lost Tales, Part Two; but since I cannot readily locate my copy, I will have to leave it to another ’Mooter to reference them for you. PS – I’ve never come across Úvanimor before, or at least, I don’t remember it. Thank you for pointing it out, Gil-Galad 2.0. Last edited by Alcuin : 07-21-2006 at 02:23 AM. |

Thanks Alcuin I owe you one.
P.S. I thought it was awsome that you gave the page number. Last edited by Gil-Galad 2.0 : 07-21-2006 at 03:25 AM. |

There is a brief reference back to them by C Tolkien in HoME X linking them to the Umaiar (a group of evil spirits to which the balrog were assigned to) who followed Morgoth and were evil creatures/spirits.
