To be sung to the melody of O Sole Mio

Ma maira engwe, ta calina aure,
Opo i raumo i hwesta milya,
Lelya ve merende, i vilya ta vinya,
Ma maira engwe, ta calina aure
 
Mal Anar exa
Ta ankalima
Ta Anarinya
Antalyanna
 
Í lóme úva ar Anar núta,
Endanya amne oluva lunga
 
Ké lemyuvanye ní *hemmalya,
Í lóme úva ar Anar núta
 
Mal Anar exa
Ta ankalima
Ta Anarinya
Antalyanna
 
I Anar, Anarinya
Antalyanna
Antalyanna

I saw (sorry, don't remember where exactly) the translation of window as henet (henets-). Is this not justified?

+Menelion Elensúlë it does ring a bell, but I cannot find the source either so I don't know whether it was a neologism or not. It does sound like the Quenyarization (is that a word?) of henneth

Found it in PPQ:

Thing is, I don't think the Sindarin word can be simply transposed to Quenya (at least I cannot recall any other attested examples), unless we assume a loanword which is unlikely
