Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!

Early Quenya

anúre

noun. manliness, masculinity

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. anūre “manliness, masculinity” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, an elaboration of ᴱQ. anu “a male” (QL/31). In the entry, this word was predeceded by the definite article i and Tolkien gave it the alternate gloss “concr. men in general”; by this I assume Tolkien mean anúre by itself meant “masculinity”, but with the definite article i anúre meant “men in general”.

Neo-Quenya: For purpose of Neo-Quenya, I would modify this word to ᴺQ. hanúrë, basing it instead on later ᴹQ. hanu “male” (Ety/ƷAN).
