In the fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien, Eￃﾤ is the Quenya language name for the universe, as a realization of the vision of the Ainur. The word comes from the Quenya word for to be. Thus, Eￃﾤ is the World that Is, as distinguished from the World that Is Not. It may thus be assumed that everything outside Eￃﾤ, including the Timeless Halls of Ilￃﾺvatar, has no material form.
The Ainur, angelic beings from the Timeless Halls beyond Eￃﾤ, refer to it as "the Little Kingdom". This refers to the fact that within the mind of Eru Ilￃﾺvatar (God, in Tolkien's legendarium), all creation that humans can see is really just a tiny thing in comparison.
Eￃﾤ was the word spoken by Eru Ilￃﾺvatar by which he brought the universe into actuality.
