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.
