imbë (or imbe) is a word with two different meanings.

Quenya

The Quenya word imbë (or imbe) means "between".[1][2]

Examples

"i falmalinnar imbë met, ar hísië" ('on the foaming waves between us, and mist')[1]

Elvish

The word imbe, in an unidentified Elvish language, is said to mean "in(wards)".[3]

Helge Fauskanger has suggested that the word likely is Quenya.[4]
