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.
