earendel

masculine name. Earendel

@@@ dual and plural forms representative of nouns in the same class

earuile

noun. seaweed

A noun for “seaweed” in The Etymologies of the 1930s, a combination of ᴹQ. ear “sea” and ᴹQ. uile “long trailing plant” (Ety/UY).

earendillinwe

proper name. Short Lay of Earendel

A title for Bilbo’s song at Rivendell in Lord of the Rings drafts from the 1940s (TI/103), a compound of Earendil and otherwise unattested linwe “short lay”.

eare

noun. (open) sea

easte

noun. being, essence

A word appearing as ᴹQ. easte “being, essence” in the Quenya Verbal System (QVS) from 1948, a combination of ᴹQ. ea- “to be” and the “general action verbal suffix” ᴹQ. -ste (PE22/123). It replaced ᴹQ. yeste “being, existence” which was derived from the (rejected) verb ᴹQ. ye- “be” (PE22/123 note #130).

Conceptual Development: In the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, Tolkien used ᴱQ. nasta for “existence, being, creature” under the early root ᴱ√NĀ “be, exist” (QL/64).

Neo-Quenya: In notes from the early 1950s the verbal suffix became -sta (PE22/137), so I would update this noun to ᴺQ. ëasta “existence, being”, using the gloss “existence” instead of “essense” because by the late 1960s, the verb ëa- was used only for statements about the existence of a thing in the real world. For “essense” I would use the later noun nassë “nature, true-being” (PE17/174-175).

eane sasse maire ma

*there was a rose

@@@ ma may be indefinite marker = English “a”

eantanet nyen

vea

noun. sea

aláriel

masculine name. Eadwine

Apparently a rejected variant of Herendil “Fortune-friend” appearing in The Etymologies from the 1930s as compound of (rejected) ᴹ✶alā́ri “bliss” and the (rejected) suffix -el “friend” (EtyAC/LAR, ÑEL).

matie

noun. eating

The gerund form of the verb mat- “eat” appearing in the (1948) 3rd. sg. possessive form matietta “his eating” (PE22/119); in later Quenya this would be matierya.

hún

noun. earth, earth, *ground

A word in the Declension of Nouns from the early 1930s with stem form hun- and gloss “earth” (QL/39). It might be a later iteration of ᴱQ. han “ground, earth” from the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s (QL/39), and if so then hún might also be used as “✱ground”. I think it is useful to assume so for purposes of Neo-Quenya, as the other attested word for “ground”, Q. talan, is probably used more often for “floor”, including floors above the ground level.

ambar

noun. Earth, World

arda

place name. Earth, world

lár

martan(o)

soron

entarda

place name. Thither Lands, Middle-earth, Outer Lands, East

A name for the lands of the East in The Etymologies from the 1930s, also appearing as Entar (Ety/EN). It is apparently a compound of enta “that yonder” and arda “region”. Oddly, it was also glossed “Middle-earth”, though The Etymologies had plenty of other names with that meaning.

kemna

adjective. of earth, earthen

An adjective in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “of earth, earthen” derived from the root ᴹ√KEM “soil, earth” (Ety/KEM; EtyAC/KEM). In The Etymologies as published in The Lost Road, Christopher Tolkien gave the form as kemina (LR/363), but in “Addenda and Corrigenda to the Etymologies” Hostetter and Wynne clarified that the actual form was kemna (VT45/19).

Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. kereksa “of earthenware”, an adjectival form of ᴱQ. keres “earthware” under the early root ᴱ√KERE (QL/46). There was an sk written nearby indicating an alternate (or archaic) form kereska as suggested by the editors.

óre

noun. rising, rising, *rise; [ᴱQ.] dawn, Sunrise, East

A noun for “[a] rising” in The Etymologies of the 1930s under the root ᴹ√ORO “up; rise; high”, an element in ᴹQ. anaróre “sunrise” (Ety/ORO).

Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. ōre “the dawn, Sun-rise, East” under a different early root ᴱ√OŘO [OÐO] that was “distinct but much confused with” ᴱ√ORO having to do with rising things (QL/70).

róminya

adjective. *eastern

hui

proper name. Night

A name for (Primordial?) Night appearing in The Etymologies from the 1930s as a derivative of the root ᴹ√PHUY, along with its (archaic?) variant Fui (Ety/PHUY).

Conceptual Development: This name is most likely a remnant of the name ᴱQ. Fui from the earliest Lost Tales, where it was another name for the goddess ᴱQ. Nienna (LT1/66, LT1A/Fui). According to the Qenya and Gnomish Lexicons from the 1910s, this earlier version of the name is derived from the root ᴱ√ǶUẎU (GL/36, QL/38).

uruite

adjective. fiery

A word in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “fiery”, an adjectival form of ᴹQ. úr “fire” under the root ᴹ√UR “be hot”, but these words were deleted when the meaning of the root was revised to “wide, large, great” (Ety/UR).

Conceptual Development: A similar word ᴱQ. uruvoite “fiery, having fire” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon under the early root ᴱ√URU (QL/98).

Neo-Quenya: The word úr “fire” was restored in some later writings, and this adjective may have been restored with it, but I prefer ᴺQ. úruva for “fiery”; see that entry for discussion.

úruva

adjective. fiery

A word in The Etymologies of the 1930s appearing as ᴹQ. úruva “fiery”, an adjectival form of ᴹQ. úr “fire” under the root ᴹ√UR “be hot”, but these words were deleted when the meaning of the root was revised to “wide, large, great” (Ety/UR).

Conceptual Development: The word ᴱQ. urūva “like fire” also appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√URU (QL/98).

Neo-Quenya: The word úr “fire” was restored in some later writings, and this adjective may have been restored with it. I personally would use ᴺQ. úruva “fiery” for purposes of Neo-Quenya. See the entry on ᴹQ. úr for further discussion on the viability of “fire” words based on √UR.

kelulinde

noun. spring

A word for “spring” in the Declension of Nouns of the early 1930s, a combination of ᴹQ. kelu- “flow” and ᴹQ. linde “pool” (PE21/10). ᴱQ. kelusindi “river (near its source)” = ᴱQ. kelu- + sindi from the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s is similar in structure (QL/46).
