aiya (aiya!) or aia means "hail" in Quenya. In the legendarium, it was only addressed to "great or holy persons", such as the Valar, or to Eärendil.[1][2][3] In J.R.R. Tolkien's Quenya translation of Ave Maria (Aia María), the Latin word ave was first given the translated form aiya, later changed to the form aia.[4]
