allu-

verb. to wash

A verb for “wash” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with variants allu, alnu-, both under the early root ᴱ√ALU “cleanse, dress” (QL/30).

alnu-

verb. to wash

sovo-

verb. to wash

A verb appearing as ᴱQ. sovo- “wash” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s derived from the early root ᴱ√SOVO or ᴱ√SOW̯O “wash” (QL/86).

Neo-Quenya: In some Neo-Quenya writings (including earlier versions of this lexicon), ᴺQ. sov- is used as the neologism for “wash”. However, in 2024 the word Q. hwal- “wash” was published in PE23, and this is now preferable to sov- for this meaning. I am currently retaining sov- as a neologism for “✱bathe” instead, but may revisit this in future versions of this lexicon.

taste

noun. fringe

A word appearing as ᴱQ. taste “fringe” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√TASA (QL/89). 1940s ᴹQ. atsa “tassel, fryse, fringe” may be a later iteration, also derived from the root ᴹ√TAS (PE22/50 note #187).

Neo-Quenya: I would retain ᴺQ. tastë “fringe” for purpose of Neo-Quenya, but based on the Neo-Root ᴺ√TATH to avoid conflict with the later root √TAS “indicate”. I would not use atsa “fringe” since it conflicts with the more common ᴹQ. atsa “claw”; see that entry for discussion.
