kor

noun. war

kortirion

place name. Kortirion

kôr

place name. Kôr

korne

noun. loaf

A word appearing as ᴱQ. korne “loaf” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√KORO “be round, roll” (QL/48), likely referring to the round or cylindrical shape of a loaf.

Neo-Quenya: Since √KOR “round” survived in Tolkien’s later writings, I would retain ᴺQ. cornë “loaf” as well.

kor(o)mas

place name. Resting of the Exiles of Kôr

In the earliest Lost Tales, a town of Tol Eressea housing the exiles of the city of Kôr (LT1/16), a combination of that name with the suffix -mas “-town”, as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT1A/Eldamar, Koromas).

korma

noun. cake, lump

A word in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “lump, cake” under the early root ᴱ√KORO “be round, roll” (QL/48). The word korma “cake” reappeared in Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s (PE16/141). However, in Tolkien’s later writings he used Q. corma for “ring” (LotR/953, 1112).

korosintl

proper name. Ball of Crystal

Name of the palace of the moon king appearing in the Qenya and Gnomish Lexicons from the 1910s (QL/48; GL/38), a combination of some derivation of the root ᴱ√KORO “round” with sintl “crystal”.

koreldar

collective name. Elves of Kôr

Term for the Elves who had lived in Kôr in the earliest Lost Tales (LT1/143, LT2/276), a compound of that city name with the plural of Elda “Elf”. This term also appeared in the earliest Silmarillion drafts from the late 1920s (SM/21), but not in later versions of the narratives.

mastakorne

noun. [bread] loaf

A word appearing as ᴱQ. mastakorne “loaf” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, a combination of ᴱQ. masta “bread” and ᴱQ. korne “loaf” (QL/59). In Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s, “loaf” was instead {korma >>} kormasta (PE16/141).

Neo-Quenya: Since the relevant roots √MBAS “bake” and √KOR “round” continue to appear in Tolkien’s later writings, I would retain ᴺQ. mastacornë “[bread] loaf” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.

kosomoko

masculine name. War-hate

Qenya cognate of G. Gothmog, a combination of the roots ᴱ√GOÞO “strive” and ᴱ√MOKO “hate” (QL/48, 62; PE13/105). It also appeared as Kosmoko, Kos(o)mot and Kormot, in the latter cases with the final k becoming t.
