hon

noun. heart

hon

noun. stone, rock

hont

noun. sneeze

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. hont (honty-) “sneeze” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s derived from the early root ᴱ√HOTYO of the same meaning (QL/50).

Neo-Quenya: I’d retain this word as ᴺQ. hont “sneeze” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√HOT, but without the more elaborate stem form. Note that -nt remained a valid (but rare) final consonant cluster in Tolkien’s later conception of Quenya.

hontosse

noun. a loud sneeze

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. hontosse “a loud sneeze” in the Qenya Lexicon, an elaboration of ᴱQ. hont “sneeze” (QL/50).

Neo-Quenya: I’d retain this word as ᴺQ. hontossë “loud sneeze” for purposes of Neo-Quenya based on ᴺQ. hont “sneeze”.

hongwir

collective name. ogres of the north

A name for the “ogres of the north” in early name lists (PE13/99; PE14/9). The etymology of the name is unclear.

honde

noun. heart

hondo

noun. heart

nektele

noun. honeycomb

The word nektele “honeycomb” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the 1910s as an elaboration of ᴱQ. nekte “honey” (QL/65; PME/65).

Neo-Quenya: I’d update this word to ᴺQ. nehtelë “honeycomb” to be compatible with the later form Q. nehtë “honey” (PE19/91).

aista

noun. honour, reverence

ile

noun. honey

nekte

noun. honey

nies

noun. honey bee

hón(a)

noun. bone

Quenya cognates of G. hûn “bone” given as Q. hōn- or hōna- in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/49), perhaps related to the early root ᴱ√HONO “✱heart” (QL/40).

matsile

noun. bear

A word appearing only as an element in the name ᴱQ. Oromatsile “Great Bear” from Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s (PE13/149). It was a cognate of ᴱN. magli “bear” = “honey-eater”, and hence composed of the same elements: ᴱQ. mata- “eat” and ᴱQ. ile “honey”, where the s appeared because ti became tsi in Early Qenya, so that matile > matsile.

hotyo-

verb. to sneeze

A verb appearing as ᴱQ. hotin “I sneeze” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with past tense hontye, derived from the early root ᴱ√HOTYO “sneeze” (QL/50); the verb stem is probably also hotyo-.

Neo-Quenya: I’d adapt this word as ᴺQ. hotya- “to sneeze” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√HOT, but redefined as a ya-formative verb and hence with past tense ✱hotonye.

ondo

noun. stone, rock

as

noun. bone

elben

noun. heart

elwen

noun. heart

A word appearing as ᴱQ. Elben “heart” in the Name-list to the Fall of Gondolin of the 1910s (LT2/202; PE15/23), but as ᴱQ. Elwen “heart” in the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon under the early root ᴱ√LEFE (QL/35, 52). These words were connected to the character G. Elfrith who vanished from later versions of the Legendarium.

herendo

noun. brother

A word for “brother” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with numerous variants: herendo or herēro, hestaner, and hesta(noi)nu, all based on the early root ᴱ√HESE that was the basis for “brother” and “sister” words (QL/40). Of these Tolkien said herendo/herēro was the “ordinary word”, and herendo appeared in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/40).
