esselda

collective name. *First-elf

A rejected name apparently meaning something like “First-elf” (EtyAC/ESE), a combination of (rejected) esse “beginning” and Elda “Elf”.

essea

adjective. in place, local

A (rejected) word appearing as ᴹQ. essea “in place, local” in The Etymologies of the 1930s, an adjectival form of the word ᴹQ. esse “place” under the root ᴹ√ES (EtyAC/ES). The entry and its derivatives were revised to words having to do with names.

Neo-Quenya: I would update this word to ᴺQ. nómëa “local” based on later Q. nómë “place”. Sami Paldanius instead suggested ᴺQ. nómessëa “local”, a formation based on the locative.

essea

adjective. ?primary

qantesser

collective name. Full Names

A term for the word-based names of Tengwar in linguistic notes from the 1940s (PE22/22, 50). For example, the Full Name of the tengwa q [p] was parma “book”. This term is a compound of qanta “full” and the plural of esse “name”.

Conceptual Development: Although this term did not appear in later writing, the Full Names themselves appeared in The Lord of the Rings appendices (LotR/1122), though some of the specific names were revised from Tolkien’s earlier writings.

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).
