'Indeed yes,' said Gandalf. 'Doubly. And is not that strange? Nothing that we have endured of late has seemed so grievous as the treason of Isengard. Even reckoned as a lord and captain Saruman has grown very strong. He threatens the Men of Rohan and draws off their help from Minas Tirith, even as the main blow is approaching from the East. Yet a treacherous weapon is ever a danger to the hand. Saruman also had a mind to capture the Ring, for himself, or at least to snare some hobbits for his evil purposes. So between them our enemies have contrived only to bring Merry and Pippin with marvellous speed, and in the nick of time, to Fangorn, where otherwise they would never have come at all!
LR, Book III, Chapter 5 “The White Rider”
‘É náto,’ Olórin quente. ‘Atatyave. Ar ma laia ta alasenya? *Laqua ya sine lúmissen atauvielme néme ta naika yalle Angosto *vartale. É ena nótina ve heru yo hesto
*laqua pron. “nothing”
*vartale n. “betrayal” from *varta- “betray” WAR cf. N/S gwarth “betrayer”
*varaite adj. “treacherous” from WAR, see above
*tatallarea adj. “marvellous” from tatalla- “admire, wonder at, marvel”
*exanen adv. “otherwise, in an other way” exa + Instr.
[1] orme “rush, violence” for want of a better word for ‘strike, blow, attack, assault, charge’
[2] “have managed, handled” as in ‘accomplished, contrived, achieved’
[3] I wonder what the Q translation of Merry’s and Pippin’s names were

Back-formatting from Noldorin, * Yelder < GYER + NDER, * Kollómo < KOL + DOM ?

if you read my translation I used those names - i.e. the diminutive forms (Razar and Kali)

the only attested Quenya derivation of GYEL is yello "call of triumph", not easy to figure out what the cognate of Gelir would be (*Yelmo?); the other Q word for joy, merriment, alasse (from GLAS), well, I suppose we could use that somehow
As for Pippin/Cordof/Razanur, the only apple-words in Q are from early Q, and none of them seem to be this specific variety (small red apple).
