eneg

cardinal. six

The Sindarin word for “six” based on the root √ENEK of the same meaning (PE17/95; VT42/25; VT48/6; Ety/ÉNEK).

Conceptual Development: Rough notes associated with the Early Noldorin Grammar of the 1920s had the deleted forms ᴱN. leme and limel near undeleted ᴱN. eneg, all unglossed but probably words for “✱five” and “✱six” (PE13/128 note #78).

also ✱engui (the latter is David Salo’s suggested normalized form of a word that actually appears as enchui in the source, but the longer form enecthui can be used to avoid the problem) (VT42:25).
