Narqelion

nark

noun. spiteful remark, snap of a dog

A word appearing as ᴱQ. nark “spiteful remark, snap of a dog” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√ŊARA “bite at” (QL/64).

Conceptual Development: The later Sindarin word S. narch “bitter-biting” hints that this early word might remain conceptually valid. I would therefore retain this noun as ᴺQ. narcë “rend, tear”, with extended meanings “snap of a dog; spiteful remark” for hurtful sounds based on the root ᴹ√NARAK “tear, rend (tr. and intr.)”; compare also [ᴹQ.] naraka “violent (?of sounds)” from that same root.

narka

adjective. dead

An adjective for “dead” implied by the stative formation narkea “is dead” in Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s (PE16/140), perhaps connected to some precursor of √NDAK “slay”.

narda-

verb. to smell sweetly

nardi

feminine name. a flower fairy

A name in the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa from the 1910s, glossed as “a flower fairy” or “a flower Valar” but otherwise unexplained (QL/68, PME/68). It was given as a derivative of the root ᴱ√NṚŘṚ having to do with sweet smells (QL/68).

taran

noun. bang, buffet

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. taran (taramb-) or tarambo “a bang, buffet” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s as a derivative of the early root given as ᴱ√TARA(MA) “batter, thud, beat”, but actually ᴱ√DARA(MA) based on its Gnomish forms (QL/89); in Early Qenya, primitive initial d became t (PE12/17).

Neo-Quenya: The root ᴹ√DARAM “beat, hew” survived into The Etymologies of the 1930s, so ᴱQ. tarambo (< ✱darambō) may be salvageable in Neo-Quenya. In later Quenya phonology, initial primitive d usually became l, but I think in this case it would assimilate as n to the following nasal, aided by the similar root ᴹ√(N)DAM “hammer, beat”, so I would suggest ᴺQ. narambo “bang, buffet”.

verb. to wither

A verb appearing as ᴱQ. hesta- “wither” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√HESE of the same meaning (QL/40).

Neo-Quenya: I would retain ᴺQ. hesta- “to wither” for purposes of Neo-Quenya derived from the Neo-Root ᴺ√KHES. There is also Q. hwirya- “wither” from the 1950s.
