nóleme

masculine name. Nóleme

A sobriquet of Finwe (LT1/115), it is simply nóleme “wisdom” used as a name, as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT1A/Nólemë).

nó-

verb. to be born, become

A verb appearing as ᴱQ. nó- “be born” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√NŌ “become, be born”, with an unusual past[?] form nōte (QL/66). Somewhat later Tolkien added the gloss “become” to the verb nó- as well.

Neo-Quenya: I would retain ᴺQ. nó- “be born” for purposes of Neo-Quenya since the root √NŌ survived in his later writings, and this verb is somewhat supported by the later adjective nóna “born”, and I would conjugate it like ná- “be”. For “become” I would use ola-.

nóte

noun. dew

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. nōte “dew” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s derived from the early root ᴱ√NOSO (QL/67), and as ᴱQ. nóte “dew” in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/68). It also appeared as ᴱQ. nōtē­ in the Early Noldorin Grammar of the 1920s as a cognate of ᴱN. nûd “wet” (PE13/122).

kalainis

proper name. May

A name for the month of May in the Qenya Lexicon from the 1910s (QL/44), an abstract noun formation from kalaine “serenity, serene”.

lep-

verb. to take

A verb appearing in Qenya Verb Forms from the 1910s as ᴱQ. lep- “take” (PE14/28), clearly based on the early root ᴱ√LEPE having to do with fingers (QL/53).

Neo-Quenya: This root was still the basis for finger-words in Tolkien’s later writings, and in notes from the late 1960s, √LEP was glossed “pick (up/out) with the fingers” (VT47/24). As such I would retain this as the verb for “take”, but more specifically “take (with fingers)” so closer in meaning to “✱pick, pluck”.
