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.

endien

proper name. Midyear (week)

A Mid-year week of holidays appearing in The Etymologies from the 1930s as a compound of ende “middle” and yén “year” (Ety/LEP, YEN). It also appeared in the early drafts of the Lord of the Rings appendices as an alternate name for Autumn (PM/135).

Qenya [Ety/LEP; Ety/YEN; PM/135] Group: Eldamo. Published by

ender

noun. bridegroom, bridegroom, *groom

A word for “bridegroom” in The Etymologies derived from the root ᴹ√NDER, a strengthened form of the root ᴹ√DER “man” (Ety/NDER).

Conceptual Development: There is an unglossed word ᴱQ. vestaner the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s that is a combination of ᴱQ. vesta “marriage” and ᴱQ. ner “man” (QL/101). This Early Qenya word may likewise mean “✱(bride)groom”, as there is a distinct word for “husband” under the same root: ᴱQ. veru.

endamar

place name. Middle-earth

Another name for “Middle-earth” appearing in The Etymologies from the 1930s as a compound of ende “middle” and mar “earth” (Ety/ÉNED, MBAR, NDOR).

Qenya [Ety/ÉNED; Ety/MBAR; Ety/NDOR] Group: Eldamo. Published by

ender

masculine name. Bridegroom

Another name for Tulkas appearing in The Etymologies from the 1930s, developed from the primitive form ᴹ✶Endero (Ety/NDER, TULUK; EtyAC/E).

Qenya [Ety/NDER; Ety/TULUK; EtyAC/E] Group: Eldamo. Published by

enno

noun. person, *being

A word for “person” in Quenya Verbal System of the 1940s based on the existential verb ᴹQ. ea-, hence perhaps originally “✱being” (PE22/123). It may be specifically masculine, since Tolkien gave a distinct feminine form ᴹQ. ennie.

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I’d use later (genderless) forms like quén “person” or námo “somebody” instead.

Qenya [PE22/123; PE22/124] Group: Eldamo. Published by

ennie

noun. person (female), *being (female)

A word for a feminine “person” in the Quenya Verbal System of the 1940s, a feminine variant form of ᴹQ. enno “person” (PE22/123).

am(ba)penda

adjective. uphill, uphill, *sloping up; [ᴱQ.] arduous, difficult, tiresome

An adjective meaning “uphill” in The Etymologies of the 1930s with variants ambapenda and shorter ampenda, a combination of amba “up(wards)” and penda “sloping” (Ety/AM²). More literally it means “✱sloping up”, versus plain penda which has an implication of “sloping down”. It also appeared in the Early Noldorin Dictionary of the 1920s as ᴱQ. ambapenda, where its cognate ᴱN. amvenn had the glosses “uphill; arduous, difficult, tiresome” (PE13/159). Perhaps ᴹQ. am(ba)penda could colloquially have these meanings as well.

ambarenya

place name. Middle-earth

Name for Middle-earth appearing as ambar-endya in notes for Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s (SM/241), and also appearing as Ambarenya in The Etymologies, apparently a compound of Ambar “Earth” and enya “middle” (Ety/MBAR).

andon

noun. great gate, great gate, [ᴱQ.] door, gate

A noun for a “great gate” in The Etymologies of the 1930s, an augmentative form of ᴹQ. ando “gate” under the root ᴹ√AD “entrance, gate” (Ety/AD).

Conceptual Development: The word ᴱQ. andon first appeared in the Early Noldorin Dictionary of the 1920s as a cognate of ᴱN. ann “door” (PE13/137, 160). It was also an element in the name ᴱQ. Andonavestan “Gates of Summer” (PE13/143, 160). This earlier iteration was not augmentative as it was in the 1930s.

hinna

adverb. still

@@@ perhaps an allative form of ✶khĭn- meaning “(up) to now, hitherto” as suggested by Lokyt in a Discord chat on 2021-12-03

intin

pronoun. they

@@@ Regarding -n see “the final -m/n that sometimes appears at the end of object pronouns in pl. and belongs to them, not to the subject.” (PE22/94) as suggested by Aleksandr Zapragajev: j-teuber.github.io

landa

noun. plain

A noun for “a plain” in the Quenya Verbal System (QVS) of the 1940s derived from ᴹ√LAD “lie flat, be flat” with variants landa and lanna (PE22/126), the latter probably derived from ✱ladna with the voiced stop d becoming a nasal before nasal n. It might simply be the noun form of adjective ᴹQ. landa “wide” from The Etymologies of the 1930s (Ety/LAD).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I’d stick to the form landa, which appears in an inflected form landannar “to the plains” early in QVS (PE22/125).

Qenya [PE22/125; PE22/126] Group: Eldamo. Published by

sáva

noun. juice

A noun in The Etymologies of the late 1930s glossed “juice” from the root ᴹ√SAB of the same meaning (Ety/SAB).

Conceptual Development: ᴱQ. văsă “juice” from the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (a cognate to G. gwâs) is a possible precursor (GL/44).

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.
