fauka

adjective. thirsty, parched, (lit.) open-mouthed

An adjective in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “open-mouthed, thirsty, parched” under the root ᴹ√PHAU̯ “gape” (Ety/PHAU).

Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. {loise >>} loire (loiri-) “thirsty” under the early root ᴱ√LOYO, along with an alternate form ᴱQ. loimea as the adjective form of ᴱQ. loime “thirst” (QL/56).

Neo-Quenya: I would retain fauca “thirsty, parched, (lit.) open-mouthed” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, but use it only for extreme thirst and dry conditions (parched), as opposed to Q. soica for more ordinary levels of “thirsty”.
