A correlative combination appearing as {láqa(n)nome >>} allanome(s) in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/112 and note #143), combinations of ᴹQ. alla “none” and ᴹQ. nome “place”.

allanome(s)
adverb. *no place

-no
suffix. male
A masculinizing suffix for pronominal forms in Quenya Personal Pronouns (QPP1) from the late 1940s (PE23/102), so that for example mane “who (neutral)” could become mano “who (male)” and ane “someone” could become ano “someone (male)”. It is probably based on the contemporaneous masculine primitive suffix ✶-owo.
(a)láqainen
adverb. by no means
A correlative combination appearing as {láqainen >>} ᴹQ. (a)láqainen “by no means” in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/111), a combination of ᴹQ. láqa “none” and the instrumental suffix ᴹQ. -nen.
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would update this to ᴺQ. allanen “by no means” using later ᴹQ. alla “none”, also from DRC.
(a)láqalde
adverb. in no way, by no method, nohow
A correlative combination appearing as {láqalde >>} ᴹQ. (a)láqalde “in no way, by no method, nohow” in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/111), a combination of ᴹQ. láqa “none” and ᴹQ. -l(de) “way”.
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would update this to ᴺQ. allë “in no way” using later ᴹQ. alla “none” also from DRC, along with the later suffix -llë.
all(an)ar
adverb. *on no day
The correlative combination ᴹQ. {(a)láqanar >>} allanar or allar appeared in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 along with variants lálar and {láqanaryas >>} alaryas (PE23/109 and note #114), basically combinations of ᴹQ. alla “none” and ᴹQ. -ar(yas) “days”.
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would update this to ᴺQ. alaurë “on no day” using later aurë for “day”.
allane
pronoun. nobody, nothing (no thing), no one
The correlative combinations ᴹQ. {aláqe, lāqe >>} alle, allane “nobody, nothing, no one” appeared Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/103 and note #41), proniminal forms of ᴹQ. alla “none”. There was also an archaic variant form †lálane and a more elaborate form ᴹQ. láqane “nobody, at all”. Drafts has laqe “nobody” in the phrase ᴹQ. tasse ni·kenne laqe imma “there I saw nobody whatsoever” (PE23/101-102 note #36).
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would use ᴺQ. alquen for “nobody, no one”, inspired by Q. ilquen “everbody”. Other neologisms for “nobody” include ᴺQ. alaquen from the NQW and ᴺQ. úquen from ABNW (ABNW) from the early 2000s. For “nothing” I would just use ᴹQ. alla.
allanima
adjective. of no sort, of no kind
The correlative combination ᴹQ. {aláqima >>} allanima or lálima “of no sort” appeared in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/107 and note #88), combinations of ᴹQ. alla “none” and ᴹQ. -ima “sort”. Drafts had láqima “of no kind” (PE23/106 note #80).
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would update this to ᴺQ. alaitë “of no kind, of no sort” using the later suffix -itë.
alli
no [not any quantity]
A plural variant of ᴹQ. alla “none”, as in ᴹQ. sisse alli neri “there are no men here, (lit.) here [are] no men” (PE23/108 note #96). Likely it can also be used as a pronoun: cenin alli “I see none (of a group)”. It has a variant allina, presumably only adjectival: ✱alline neri “no (quantity of) men”. Strictly speaking alli is a combination of ᴹQ. alla “none” and the suffix ᴹQ. -lli(ni) “quantity”, so actually “✱not any quantity”.
immatwe
pronoun. either (when there is no choice)
The correlative ᴹQ. immatwe “either (when there is no choice)” appeared in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/107), a combination of ᴹQ. imma “any” and ᴹQ. atwe “one of the two”.
Neo-Quenya: Since ᴹQ. imma “any” too closely resembles the later prefix Q. im- “same”, for purposes of Neo-Quenya I would update this to ᴺQ. aiatwë “either” using the hypothetical prefix ᴺQ. ai(a)- “any”; see that entry for discussion.
alande
adverb. to no degree, in no way
A correlative combination in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/111), a combination of ᴹQ. alla “none” and ᴹQ. -n(de) “degree”.
allaro
adverb. *for no reason
A correlative combination appearing as {láqaro >>} allaro in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/112 and note #149), combinations of ᴹQ. alla “none” and ᴹQ. -ro “reason”.
allo
adverb. from no place
A correlative combination appearing as allo or lalallo in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/112), combinations of ᴹQ. alla “none” and the ablative suffix ᴹQ. -llo.
laqalka
adjective. *no quantity
A correlative combination appearing as aláqa or laqalka in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/108), combinations of ᴹQ. laqa “none” and ᴹQ. -lka “quantity”. Tolkien then deleted these forms saying “negative {hardly >>} not used” (PE23/108 and note #101).

hanwa
adjective. male
A word appearing in The Etymologies of the 1930s with the gloss “male” (Ety/INI), an adjectival form of the noun ᴹQ. hanu “male” (Ety/ƷAN).
Conceptual Development: In drafts for the first version of Quenya Personal Pronouns (QPP1) from the late 1940s, Tolkien had various adjectival forms based on the root ᴹ√NŌ/ONO “beget” (vs. ᴹ√RÉ “bear, produce”), including ᴹQ. noa, nóna, or ᴹQ. noito “male (of any kind)” (PE23/87), but the relevant sections were rejected and elsewhere √NŌ is not specifically masculine.
