I figured out how to use ProBoards tables just for you, Jael...
The Names of the Ainur according to the Gnomish Lexicon (Parma Eldalamberon 11)
I've not listed everything on this table, because (for fanfiction purposes) it's really not necessary to know the numerous different ways in which you can spell the many names of Melkor. So some entries are missing, but only the duplicates. The most relevant names for every listed Vala or Maia are here.
Quenya Column: the more commonly known Quenya name.
Goldogrin Column: the name as it appears in the GL.
Sindarin Column: the GL name updated to comply with Sindarin phonology. Some of the GL names are fine as they are, and some just don't work for later Sindarin.
Note: the Sindarin column updates sounds and spelling only and does not take into account whether or not the name is actually correct. Because the GL is only a wordlist (unlike the QL, it does not give any root words or etymologies), it's impossible to tell whether or not names like Bandoth Gwî should be Bannoth Gwî or Bannoth Wî in Third Age Sindarin.
Red words indicate those that were rejected by Tolkien.
