*nyarrince means of course "little rat", _nyarro_ NYAD- from the Etymologies with the diminutive suffixe _-ince_. There is no Quenya word for "mouse". The meaning of the stem is "gnaw".

The Gnomish Lexicon (PE11:60) has the words _nig_ and _nigla_ for mouse that come from the word to thieve, pilfer _nigla-_.

In Qenya, steal is _naqa-_.

to tie heaven to earth
to poison mood with gloom
