etsir

noun. mouth of a river, mouth of a river, *(lit.) outflow

A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “mouth of a river”, a combination of ᴹQ. et “out” and ᴹQ. sir- “flow” (Ety/ET). Its Noldorin cognate N. ethir reappeared as S. ethir “outflow” in later writings (RC/350).

ettul-

verb. *to come forth, come out, issue

An untranslated verb appearing in its plural form ettuler in the phrase Soroni númenheruen ettuler from the 1940s (SD/290). It is clearly a combination of et- “forth, out” with tul- “come”, so meaning something like “✱come forth, come out, issue”. A similar (primitive) verb ✶et-tul- “come out, issue” appeared in Common Eldarin: Verb Structure (EVS2) from the early 1950s (PE22/136).

etingul

proper name. one of Noldorin race who remained in Kor

A term for the Noldor who remained in Valinor appearing only in linguistic notes from the 1930s (PE21/33), its initial element is derived from primitive ete “back, below”.

(ek)koiru-

verb. to come to life

A verb appearing as {ekkoitu >>} (ek)koiru “come to life” in the Quenya Verbal System (QVS) from 1948 (PE22/112), a u-verb based on the root ᴹ√KOY “live” with the (optional) prefix ᴹQ. et-, where tk became kk as it did in cases where it did not undergo metathesis to kt > ht.

ehtelu-

verb. to well, bubble up

A verb in the Quenya Verbal System (QVS) from 1948, a combination of primitive ᴹ✶et “out” and ᴹ✶kelu- “flow, well up” (PE22/103), whose phonological developments mirror ehtelë. See ᴹQ. kelu- “to flow forth” for a discussion of similar verbs.

Conceptual Development: It seems to be a later iteration of (archaic) ᴱQ. †kektelu- “bubble up” from the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, a verb form of ᴱQ. †kektele “fountain” (QL/46).

ekkoita-

verb. to awake

A verb for “awake” appearing in its past or perfect form ekkoitanie “might awake” in Koivienéni sentence from the late 1930s (VT27/7), probably a combination of ᴹQ. et “out” and the verb ᴹQ. koita-. Luinyelle suggested the form ekkoitanie “might awake” could be related to the primitive “subjunctive affix” -jĕ from the contemporaneous Primitive Quendian Structure: Final Consonants (PE21/56).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I prefer to use the verb ᴺQ. cuita- for “to waken, rouse”.

tinga-

verb. to twang, to twang, *to ping

A verb appearing as tinga- “twang” in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed derived from the onomatopoeic root ᴹ√TING or ᴹ√TANG (Ety/TING). The Quenya Verbal System (QVS) of 1948 instead had tanga- with past forms tange or tangane “twanged”, derived from ᴹ√TAÑ.

Neo-Quenya: In a 2025-01-30 post to the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS), Luinyelle suggested this verb might also mean “✱ping” in the modern internet sense, as in tinganel nin “you pinged me”.

kelure

noun. fountain

A noun in the Quenya Verbal System (QVS) from 1948 glossed “fountain”, derived from the verb ᴹQ. kelu- “spring forth (of water)” and a suffix of general action: ᴹQ. -re (PE22/110).

Conceptual Development: A possible precursor is (archaic) ᴱQ. †kektele “fountain” from the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, a combination of the roots ᴱ√KEKE “bubble up” and ᴱ√KELE “flow” (QL/46), also mentioned in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/46).

tuilu-

verb. to bud, open (of flowers and leaves)

A word in the Quenya Verbal System written in 1948 appearing as {tuiyu “bud, spring, ...” >>} tuilu “bud, open (of flowers and leaves)” as an example of a u-verb (PE22/114). It is clearly based on ᴹ√TUY “spring, sprout” (Ety/TUY).

Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. tuita- “to bud, burst, burgeon, grow” under the early root ᴱ√TUẎU (QL/96).
