tyaro

noun. doer, actor, agent

A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “doer, actor, agent” derived from the root ᴹ√KYAR “cause, do” (Ety/KYAR).

Conceptual Development: In an earlier version of the entry for ᴹ√KAR “make, do”, Tolkien had ᴹQ. káro “doer, actor, agent” (Ety/KAR; EtyAC/KAR), but this form was abandoned when Tolkien decided ᴹ√KAR meant only “make, build”.

Neo-Quenya: Despite the later restoration of the sense “do” to the root √KAR, I would stick with attested tyaro for “actor, agent”, since Q. tyar- “cause” continued to appear in Tolkien’s later writings.
