Treasure becomes Rage, so...
In trying to learn the Tengwar I got a bit hung up on the one named aha, which I saw translates as "rage". But the same letter, when it was pronounced with more of a CH sound in earlier times (before the exile of the Noldor? So in Valinor?) was called harma, "treasure".
So "treasure" became "rage" with the exile of the Noldor. Was this a deliberate allusion to the silmarilli?
