An adverb for “little” in the Early Qenya Grammar of the 1920s with a shorter form mit (PE14/48, 80), also used as a diminutive prefix with variant forms mie and mimīke (PE14/81). In the contemporaneous English-Qenya Dictionary it was translated as “a bit”, and its variant mimīke “a little bit” seems to be somewhat emphatic.
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would update this adverb to ᴺQ. nicë “a little, a bit” using the later root √NIK, and would use it to modify both adjectives and verbs: nicë maita “a little hungry”, pata nicë “walk a bit”.
