-vë
as, like
-vë, (3) apparently an ending used to derive adverbs from adjectives (see andavë under anda and oiavë under oia). May be related to the preposition ve "as, like".
né
was
né vb. "was"; see ná #1. Also used as interjection "yes" when the meaning is "it was so, it was as you say/ask" (VT49:31). Pl. nér "were", dual nét (VT49:30). Nésë "he was" (VT49:29), though Tolkien elsewhere stated that né did not "take any inflection of person" (VT49:31), pronominal endings rather being added to ane- (the form anes *he was" is attested). Anda né "long ago" (VT49:31).
-va
from
-va possessive ending, presumably related to the preposition va "from". In Eldaliéva, Ingoldova, miruvóreva, Oroméva, rómeva, Valinóreva (q.v. for references), Follondiéva, Hyallondiéva (see under turmen for references). Following a consonant, the ending instead appears as -wa (andamacilwa "of the long sword", PE17:147, rómenwa *"of the East", PE17:59). Pl. -vë when governing a plural word (from archaic -vai) (WJ:407), but it seems that -va was used throughout in late Exilic Quenya (cf. miruvóreva governing the plural word yuldar in Namárië). Pl. -iva (-ivë*), dual -twa, partitive pl. -líva**.
-wa
-wa
-wa, variant of the possessive ending -va (as in andamacilwa, PE17:147), used following a consonant.

fende
noun. door
fendë
noun. door
A word appearing as {phende >>} fende “door” in Late Notes on Verb Structure (LVS) from 1969 (PE22/166 and note #112). The deleted variant probably indicates its primitive form.
Conceptual Development: The earliest “door” word was ᴱQ. posta in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root {ᴱ√PONO >>} ᴱ√BOÐO (QL/75). Another precursor was ᴹQ. fenda “threshold” in The Etymologies of the 1930s under the root ᴹ√PHEN (Ety/PHEN). In notes from December 1959 (D59) Tolkien gave Q. fenna as a derivative of √PHEN and cognate to S. fen, all meaning “door” (PE17/181).
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I prefer 1969 fendë as the word for “door”, but I think [ᴹQ.] fenda “threshold” might remain viable as a separate derivative of the root.
fenna
door
fenna noun "door" (PE17:45, 181)
fenna
noun. door
ho
from
ho prep. "from" (3O); cf. hó-
hresta
shore, beach
hresta noun "shore, beach", ablative hrestallo *"from (the) shore" in Markirya
ier
as
ier prep. "as" (VT43:16, probably rejected in favour of sívë, q.v.). In an abandoned version of the Quenya Lord's Prayer, Tolkien used ier...ter for "as...so" (VT43:17).
ló
from
ló, lo (2) prep. "from", also used = "by" introducing the agent after a passive construction: nahtana ló Turin *"slain by Túrin" (VT49:24). A similar and possibly identical form is mentioned in the Etymologies as being somehow related to the ablative ending -llo, but is not there clearly defined (VT45:28). At one point, Tolkien suggested that lo rather than the ending -llo was used with proper names (lo Manwë rather than Manwello for "from Manwë"), but this seems to have been a short-lived idea (VT49:24).
nac-
verb. to hew, cut, to hew [into], cut; [ᴹQ.] to slay, kill; to hate
This verb was mentioned in several places with different meanings. In Late Notes on Verbs Tolkien gave 1st-sg aorist and past forms of this verb along side the more “intensive” verb nahta-:
> [The ta-formative element] t was also used as (originally) an intensive or differentiator as in √NDAK, hew, ndakta, slay, to[?] Q nakin, nanke/nahtan, nakante, slay, slew (PE22/156).
Here, it seems Tolkien was describing two verbs: a basic verb nac- “hew” derived directly from the root √NDAK and a derived verb nahta- “slay” from a ta-formative augmentation of the root. The verb form nakin was mentioned in passing in Vinyar Tengwar 49 as nakin “I hew, cut” but without an indication of what the actual source was (VT49/24).
Conceptual Development: The verb ᴹQ. nak- also appeared in various forms in the Quenya Verbal System from 1948, generally with the gloss “kill” but in one place with the gloss “hate” (PE22/112, 120, 123). In Primitive Quendian Structure from the 1930s, Tolkien gave nakuvan as the modern Quenya form of ancient ᴹ✶ndăkŭbā̆nyē “I will slay” (PE21/65 and note #13). The change in meaning for Quenya nak- seems to reflect a conceptual shift in the primitive root: in The Etymologies of the 1930s ᴹ√NDAK was glossed “slay” (Ety/NDAK), in the Outline of Phonology of the 1950s it was glossed “hew, slay” (PE19/91), and in the 1960s only “hew” (PE22/156, see above).
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would assign nac- the meanings “hew, cut”, and for “slay” I would use nahta-. Furthermore, I would assume nac- originally applied to the result of hewing a thing = “hew [into], cut”, as opposed to mac- for a hewing motion. I would further assume the meaning “hew [into], cut” was influenced by the homonym [ᴹQ.] nac- “bite” of different primitive origin (Ety/NAK), and I think the “bite” meaning of nac- is more common since mac- can be used for “hew” if things are ambiguous.

nánë vb. "was", náner "were"; see ná #1
né
verb. was

né vb. in pa.t. "was"; see ná #1.
o
preposition. from
sívë
as
sívë (1) prep. "as", apparently ve of similar meaning with the prefix sí- "this, here, now"; sívë therefore makes a comparison with something close, whereas tambë (q.v.) refers to something remote. Sívë...tambë "as...so" (VT43:17). Elided sív' in VT43:12, since the next word begins in the vowel e-.
sóra
long, trailing
sóra adj. "long, trailing" (LT2:344)
tehta
mark, sign
tehta noun "mark, sign" (TEK, VT39:17, Appendix E), especially diacritics denoting vowels in Fëanorian writing (pl. tehtar is attested); these diacritics are explicitly called ómatehtar "vowel-marks", q.v.
va
from
va prep. "from" (VT43:20; prefixed in the form var- in var-úra "from evil", VT43:24). In VT49:24, va, au and o are quoted as variants of the stem awa "away from".
ve
as, like
ve (1) prep. "as, like" (Nam, RGEO:66, Markirya, MC:213, 214, VT27:20, 27, VT49:22); in Narqelion ve may mean either "in" or "as". Ve fírimor quetir *"as mortals say" (VT49:10), ve senwa (or senya) "as usual" (VT49:10). Followed by genitive, ve apparently expresses "after the manner of": ve quenderinwë coaron ("k") "after the manner of bodies of Elven-kind" (PE17:174). Tolkien variously derived Quenya ve from older wē, bē or vai(VT49:10, 32, PE17:189)
ya
as
ya (2) or yan, prep. "as" (VT43:16, probably abandoned in favour of sívë)
ye
as
[ye (3), also yé, prep. "as" (VT43:16, struck out; in the text in question Tolkien finally settled on sívë, q.v.)]
firta-
verb. to kill
anda adj. "long" (ÁNAD/ANDA), "far" (PE17:90).In Andafangar noun "Longbeards", one of the tribes of the Dwarves (= Khuzdul Sigin-tarâg and Sindarin Anfangrim) (PM:320). Compare Andafalassë, #andamacil, andamunda, andanéya, andatehta, Anduinë. Apparently derived from the adj. anda is andavë "long" as adverb ("at great length", PE17:102), suggesting that the ending -vë can be used to derive adverbs from adjectives (LotR3:VI ch. 4, translated in Letters:308)
