aika
From Tolkien Gateway
(Redirected from Aica)
aika means "fell, terrible, dire", in Quenya.[1]
In order to conform to the orthography used in The Lord of the Rings, Helge Fauskanger has suggested the spelling aica.[2]
Etymology[edit]
aika descended from the Common Eldarin adjectival form gayakā, derived from the root GAYA ("awe, dread").[1]
