fúme
noun. (deep) sleep
A noun for “sleep” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s derived from the early root ᴱ√FUMU of the same meaning (QL/39). It also appeared in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa with the glosses “deep sleep, dream”, but the second gloss “dream” was struck through (PME/39). Tolkien seems to have vacillated between the stem forms fūmi- and fūme-.
