lat

noun. flap, small hinged door, lid

A word appearing as ᴱQ. lat (latt-) “flap, small hinged door, lid” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, which Tolkien considered deriving from the early root ᴱ√LAPA “enfold” (QL/51).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I think this word can be salvaged as ᴺQ. lat (latt-) derived from the later root √LAT “open”, perhaps from primitive lattă with an original sense “opening”.

latúken

noun. tin

A word appearing as ᴱQ. latúken “tin” in the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (QL/51; PME/51). It was also identified as the source of the first l in the name of the magical metal ᴱQ. Tilkal (LT1/100).

Neo-Quenya: I retain ᴺQ. latúcen “tin [metal]” for purposes of Neo-Quenya as there are no better alternatives in Tolkien’s later writings.

lattin

noun. window

A word appearing as ᴱQ. lattin or lattulis “window” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, an elaboration of ᴱQ. lat (latt-) “flap, small hinged door, lid” (QL/51).

Neo-Quenya: Since I retain ᴺQ. lat (latt-) as a derivative of the later root √LAT “open”, I would retain ᴺQ. lattin “window” as well, a word also used in Helge Fauskanger’s NQNT (NQNT).

latukenda

adjective. of tin

A word appearing as ᴱQ. latukenda “of tin”, an adjectival form of Q. latúken “tin” (QL/51).

Neo-Quenya: Since I retain ᴺQ. latúcen “tin [metal]” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would retain ᴺQ. latucenda “of tin” as well.

lata-

verb. to be able to (used of opportunity, permission)

latsina

poimine

noun. lather, foam; mermaid

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. poimine “lather” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, an elaboration of ᴱQ. poime “soap” (QL/75). In the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa it was glossed “lather, foam; a mermaid” (PME/75).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I’d update this word to ᴺQ. lipsanë, an elaboration of the later word ᴹQ. lipsa for “soap”.

terendl

noun. lathe

A word appearing as ᴱQ. terendl “lathe” in the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the 1910s based on the early root ᴱ√TEŘE “pierce” and similar in form to ᴱQ. teren “lissom, lithe” from the same root (QL/91; PME/91). Tolkien marked both these Early Qenya words with a “?”.

Neo-Quenya: The root √TER “pierce” appeared in Tolkien’s later writings along with a derived adjective [ᴹQ.] teren(e) “slender”, so I think this early “lathe” word can be salvaged For purposes of Neo-Quenya. I would update it to ᴺQ. terendel “lathe” to be consistent with the later Quenya rules for the syllabification of l.

oilima

adjective. last

telwa

adjective. last, late

larma

noun. area, space, room

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. larma “area, space, room” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√LAŘA (QL/51).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would update this to ᴺQ. latsë “area, space, room” coined by Tamas Ferencz based on the root √LAT “open”. The word latsë means “room” only in the sense of “having room”; a room in a building would be [ᴹQ.] sambe.

lalta-

verb. to smooth out; stroke

@@@ per editors, uncertain reading, maybe latta-

larmea

adjective. roomy, spacious

A word appearing as ᴱQ. larmea or larmavoite “roomy, spacious” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, an adjectival form of ᴱQ. larma “area, space, room” (QL/51).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would update this to ᴺQ. latsëa “roomy, spacious”, an adjectival form of ᴺQ. latsë which is the word I use to replace ᴱQ. larma.
