már (pl. mardi)[1][2] and its alternative forms -mar, -bar, means "house, home, dwelling, family" in Quenya.
It also refers to a "House" as in "family line, dynasty" (cf. Mardil Voronwë), or poetically to the world (cf. Ambar).
Etymology
From root MBAR "dwelling, habitation".[3]
The hyphen indicates that the last letter was a short vowel but we cannot know which, since it was lost in Quenya.[source?]
Other forms
- Mardello "from home" (poet. "World")
Cognates

Notes
The above article suggests that már (mard-) is one word that refers to "home, family" and poetically to the "world" (Ambar).[source?]
Helge Fauskanger believes that már is unlikely to have the stem-form mard- and that the above word is actually two words: már (mar-) for "home, house", whereas mar (mard-) for "earth, world".
