fas

noun. tassel

faskala-númen

proper name. Bath of the Setting Sun

Pool where the ship of the sun rested at night (LT1/187), a compound of faskalan “bath” and the genitive of núme “west”, as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT1A/Faskala-númen).

faskalan

noun. bath

A word appearing as faskala as an element in the name ᴱQ. Faskala-númen “Bath of the Setting Sun”, also appearing as standalone Faskalan (LT1/187), so probably meaning “bath”. As pointed out by Christopher Tolkien, it is probably related to G. fôs “bath” (LT1A/Faskala-númen).

fáse

noun. gulf, gap

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s given as ᴱQ. fāse, the cognate of G. fôr “gulf, gap” (GL/36), which in turn was related to G. far- “separate” (GL/34). There is, however, no obvious connection of ᴱQ. fāse to any other Early Qenya forms.

fatse

noun. tassel

tanka

noun. fastening, rivet

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. tanka “fastening, rivet” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s written under the adjective ᴱQ. tanka “firm, fixed, fast, steady”, both based on the early root ᴱ√TAKA “fix, fasten” (QL/88).

Neo-Quenya: The root √TAK and adjective tanca survive in Tolkien’s later writing, so I think the noun ᴺQ. tanca “fastening, rivet” can also be retained for purposes of Neo-Quenya, perhaps as a nominalized form of the adjective.

taqa-

verb. to build, fashion, construct, make

A verb in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “I construct, fashion, build, make” derived the early root ᴱ√TAQA “fashion”, which was properly TAK + w̯ə (QL/89). It reappeared in notes on Early Qenya Phonology from the 1920s with the gloss “to build, fashion” and based on the root ᴱ√tak (PE14/66).

taka-

verb. to fix, fasten

tanka

adjective. firm, fixed, fast; steady, (stead)fast

karma

noun. shape, fashion; act, deed

tak-

verb. to fix, fasten

fatsale

noun. (tasseled) fringe

A word appearing as ᴱQ. fatsale “(tasseled) fringe” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, an elaboration of ᴱQ. fas (fats-) “tassel” (QL/37).

Neo-Quenya: A later iteration of ᴹQ. fas “fringe, border” from the early 1930s had a stem form fass- (PE21/19), so I would adapt this word as ᴺQ. fassalë “(tasseled) fringe” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.

fatsevoite

adjective. tasseled

An adjective appearing as ᴱQ. fatsevoite “tasseled” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, a combination of ᴱQ. fas (fats-) “tassel” and the suffix ᴱQ. -voite (QL/37).

Neo-Quenya: A later iteration of ᴹQ. fas “fringe, border” had a stem form fass- (PE21/19), and the adjective suffix was generally -itë in Tolkien’s later writing. I would therefore adapt this word as ᴺQ. fassitë “tasseled” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.

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).

alluva

adjective. clean

An adjective for “clean” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√ALU “cleanse, dress” (QL/30).

alnu-

verb. to wash

aule

adjective. shaggy

An adjective in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “shaggy” derived from the early root ᴱ√OWO that was the basis of “wool” words (QL/71).

feng-

verb. to cut

A verb appearing in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s as fengin “I cut” under the early root ᴱ√FEŊE (QL/38).

piek

noun. pin

A word for “pin” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with variants piek and piet as well as a stem form piekk- (QL/73).

pieksin

noun. brooch

piet

noun. pin

sauna

adjective. clean

soina

adjective. clean

An adjective in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “clean” based on the early root ᴱ√SOVO or ᴱ√SOW̯O (QL/86), perhaps from ✱sowinē with óu̯i > oi (PE12/13).

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

vilki-

verb. to cut

A verb appearing in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s as vilkin “it cuts” under the early root ᴱ√VḶKḶ (QL/101).
