What's the Elvish word for friend?

I actually bought a textbook on Sindarin and Quenya; sadly it's in German which I don't speak but I simply couldn't pass up on this one.

Did Tolkien see some real shit during WWI? He wrote this poem in The Hobbit:

>Burn, burn tree and fern!
Shrivel and scorch! A fizzling torch
To light the night for our delight,
Ya hey!
Bake and toast ’em, fry and roast ’em!
till beards blaze, and eyes glaze;
till hair smells and skins crack,
fat melts, and bones black
in cinders lie
beneath the sky!
So dwarves shall die,
and light the night for our delight,
Ya hey!
Ya-harri-hey!
Ya hoy!
