The Quenya words for old are yerna (old, worn, said of things); linyenwa (having many years, does not connote weakness since the Elves were immortal), and enwina (old).
The Sindarin words for old are brûn (old, that has long endured), gern (worn, old, used of things), and ingem (year-sick, of mortals suffering from old age).
