arasso

noun. hart, stag, (male) deer

A neologism coined by Paul Strack in 2022 specifically for Eldamo, the Quenya equivalent of S. aras based on primitive ✶aras(sō) (UT/150; PE21/82). Boris Shapiro instead suggested ᴺQ. arassë in PPQ (PPQ) from the early 2000s, but this was before the primitive form was published in PE21.
