Raiment is an old term for clothing, particularly fancy clothing and fancy dresses.The Elves knew kinds raiments they called Fana and Larma. "Larma" may be connected to similar words meaning "area, space, room", "flesh" or "lucky event", so it may have referred either to a very wide or perhaps very tight kind of clothing, or maybe clothing made from a very light, clear or transparent material, made to be worn at lucky events and festivities. "Fana" meant "veil", "bright shape or figure","cloud", "light and whiteness" and obviously meant clothing that was very light and bright. Fána also was applied to the bodily forms or shapes the Eälar took, which were to them like clothes were to the Eruhini.
