After, in my words

paeft : after

The Illunse word for after is paeft. Similar Paeff is an unusual last name. Similar Old English word pæð (which I transliterate to paeth) means path, track.

This word is a mixture of the Old English word for after æfter (after, along, behind; throughout, during; following, in consequence of) and the Latin word for after post (behind in space, after in time; subordinate in rank).

Before, in J.R.R. Tolkien's words

The Quenya word for "before" seems to be epë (before, of spatial relationships). But it can mean "after" when used of time, since the Eldar imagined future time (time that comes after the present) as being "before" them.

I didn't find a Sindarin word for the preposition before.

anbor : before

The Illunse word for before is anbor. Anbor is a rare last name. Anbor is small island in the Marshall Islands.

This word is a mixture of the Old English word for before beforan (before; in front of, in the presence of; prior to, sooner than) and the Latin word for before ante (in front/presence of, in view; before in space/time/degree; over against, facing).

Another Old English word that can mean the preposition before is tóforan ((time and place) before; (superiority) above, over, beyond).

Faith, in J.R.R. Tolkien's words

I found these words that are close in meaning to faith.

The Quenya word for faithful is voronda (steadfast in allegiance, in keeping oath or promise, faithful).

There are two Sindarin words can mean faith: estel (hope, trust, faith) and bronwe (endurance, lasting quality, faith).
