From the Appendix of The Sil:

"brilliance/glory" - aglar (S), alkar (Q)

"sunlight" - árë (Q)

"gleam (of eyes)" - glîn (I think it's S)

"shine" - cal- / gal- (S, I assume)

"radiance" - alata (Q), galad (S)

"fire" - nár (Q), naur (S)

"sun" - anor (S), anar (Q)

"brilliance" - ril (S)

"sparkle" - ita, tinta, tinwe (Q), tin (S)

"shine (with white/silver light)" - sil/thil (I'm not sure how the language division works here)


I hope I got all the "light" words.


About -(n)dil it's said that it is "a frequent ending of personal names [...] it implies 'devotion', 'disnterested love'". -(n)dur is similar in meaning.
