A specialized word for “eighteen” that was part of a duodecimal system of counting in notes from the 1930s, derived from ᴹ√nakat (PE14/17 note #6).
Conceptual Development: The Early Qenya Grammar of the 1910s had ᴱQ. hualqe “eighteen” and adjective ᴱQ. hual(qe)tya “eighteenth” beside the more ordinary but rarer form ᴱQ. tolkea (PE14/49, 82). The word hualque is perhaps another specialized duodecimal word meaning “✱double nine” as a combination of ᴱQ. hue “nine” and the dual root ᴱ√WI.
A noun for “a bite” in The Etymologies of the 1930s under the root ᴹ√NAK of the same meaning (Ety/NAK).
