muku

root. cacare [Latin], *defecate

The root ᴱ√MUKU “cacare [Latin = defecate]” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with derivatives like ᴱQ. múko “dung” and ᴱQ. muqa “filthy” (QL/63). As there are no other roots of similar meaning in Tolkien’s later writing, I think it is worth retaining a Neo-Eldarin root ᴺ√MUK for this purpose.

muku Speculative

root. *silent

A hypothetical early root based on words like G. mug- “keep silent, say nothing (about)” and G. maug “silent” (GL/57-58). In later writings Tolkien used words like S. dîn for “silence” in Sindarin.

mukta-

verb. cacare [Latin], *to empty bowels

A verb appearing as ᴱQ. mukta- “cacare” (Latin for “defecate”) in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√MUKU of the same meaning (QL/63).

Neo-Quenya: I’d adapt this word as ᴺQ. muhta- “to defecate” for purposes of Neo-Quenya based on the Neo-Root ᴺ√MUK “defecate”.

múko

noun. dung, stercus [Latin], *manure, muck

A word appearing as ᴱQ. múko “dung, stercus” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, the second gloss being Latin for “dung, manure, muck”. It was based the early root ᴱ√MUKU “cacare”, which is Latin for “defecate” (QL/63).

Neo-Quenya: I’d retain ᴺQ. múco “dung, ✱manure, muck” for purposes of Neo-Quenya based on the Neo-Root ᴺ√MUK “defecate”.

mut

noun. dirt, filth

gorn

noun. dung

A noun for “dung” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s of unclear etymology (GL/41).
