What is the difference between a lord and the Lord, grammatically?

btw, thank you for the speedy reply.
"lord" is the general term, used to describe any lord. The Lord is specific - it describes one lord in particular - and a single "i" is used to indicate "the" in Quenya. An example of this is "Narn i Hin Hurin", the tale of the Children of Hurin.
