Ómar, also called Amillo, was a Vala who only appeared in the earliest version of the legendarium, The Book of Lost Tales. He was considered to be the youngest of all the Valar, and was the last of them to come into the world, singing songs as he entered.[1] Ómar knew all languages,[2] and all songs. In Valmar he would sing to the harp-playing of his brother, Salmar, and his voice was the best of all voices.[3] From Ómar and Manwë the Teleri[note 1] learned much of poetry and song.[4]
Etymology
Ómar and Amillo are Qenya names. The former is related to Qenya ōma "voice", while the latter is glossed as "one of the Happy Folk; Hilary", where Hilary derives from Latin hilaris "cheerful".
The Gnomish equivalents of his names are Ûmor and Gamlos (likely meaning "one who shouts with joy").[5]
