entë

noun. centre

entë

center

entë (2) noun "center" (VT41:16; endë is perhaps to be preferred, see entya)

entë

adverb. moreover, further(more), what is more

An adverb glossed “moreover, further(more), what is more” with an adjectival variant Q. enta “another, one more”, both derived from √ENET which is an extension of √EN “once more, again” (VT47/15). Of the adjective Tolkien said that it was “not except by implication ‘another different one’ (VT47/40)”, for which I would instead use hyana; see that entry for discussion.

Conceptual Development: The Arctic Sentence from 1929 had a similar word ᴱQ. ento “next”, a possible precursor.

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I assume enta only means “another, one more” when used as an adjective. As a pronoun or adverb, I assume [ᴹQ.] enta means “that yonder”, especially when further inflected: á mene entanna “go to that/there yonder” vs. á anta nin enta yulma “give me another [similar] drink” vs. á anta nin hyana yulma “give me another [different] drink”. See the entry on correlatives for further discussion of the “that yonder” use of enta.

entë

moreover, further, furthermore, what is more

entë (1) conj. "moreover, further, furthermore, what is more" (VT47:15, VT48:14). Compare yunquentë as a variant of yunquenta, q.v.

endë

noun. centre, middle, centre, middle; [ᴹQ.] core

The word ᴹQ. ende first appeared in The Etymologies of the 1930s, glossed either “middle, centre” (Ety/ÉNED) or “core, centre” (Ety/NÉD), and derived from the root ᴹ√ENED “middle” (Ety/ÉNED). In notes from late 1960s Tolkien had {ened >>} ente “centre”, which he clarified was “not used of emotions or thought only physical” (VT41/12). In this context it was derived from √HENET “middle” (VT41/16). But in other writings from the late 1960s, the word as again ende from √ENED “middle” (VT48/25), and I believe √HENET > ente was a transient idea.

Neo-Quenya: Base on its 1930s glosses and the meaning of 1960s ente, I believe ende is a noun referring to a physical centre.

felehta-

verb. [unglossed], *to excavate, tunnel, mine

An untranslated form appearing in Notes on Names (NN) from 1957 derived from the root √PHELEG/PHELEK (PE17/118), possibly a verb derived from ✱phelektā- or ✱phelegtā-. The derivatives of this root had to do with mines and tunnels, so perhaps this verb meant “✱to excavate, tunnel, mine”.
