nor

noun. oak

norolle

noun. cart

The word ᴱQ. norolle appeared in the Gnomish Lexicon as the cognate to G. drogla “cart” (GL/31), clearly based on the early root ᴱ√NORO “run, go smoothly, ride, spin, etc.” (QL/67).

Neo-Quenya: The root √NOR was associated with both “run” and “roll” as late as 1948 (PE22/127), so I would retain ᴺQ. norollë “cart” for purposes of Neo-Quenya; see the discussion of √NOR for further details.

nornore

masculine name. Herald of the Gods

Herald of the Valar in the earliest Lost Tales (LT1/77). It appears to be an elaboration of nornoro- “to run smoothly” as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT1A/Nornorë, QL/67). This name first appeared as Nornoros (PE14/13; QL/67).

nornoro-

verb. to run on, run smoothly and hum

A word in the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the 1910s appearing as ᴱQ. nornoro-, based on the early root ᴱ√NORO “run, go smoothly, ride, spin” (QL/67; PME/67). The verb had the glosses “run on, run smoothly and hum” and “run smooth” in QL and PME, respectively.

Neo-Quenya: In a Discord chat from 2021-06-04, Elaran suggested revising this verb into a more normal frequentative form ᴺQ. nonóra- “to run on, run smoothly and hum”. Fiona Jallings suggested the extended meaning “✱keep on running (especially of machines)” in a Discord chat from 2019-02-04.

nornelassea

adjective. having oak-leaves

A word appearing as ᴱQ. nornelasse(a) “having oak-leaves” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, a combination of ᴱQ. norne “oak-tree” and ᴱQ. lassea “with leaves” (QL/67).

Neo-Quenya: Since Q. norno was a later form of the Quenya word for “oak”, I would update this word to ᴺQ. nornolassëa for purposes of Neo-Quenya.

noun. cord

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. hempa “cord” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√HEPE “bind” (QL/40).

Neo-Sindarin: In Tolkien’s later writings √KHEP meant “keep”, but I think it could still be the basis for ᴺQ. hempa “cord”.

A noun appearing in Early Noldorin Word-lists as {ūru >>} auro, cognate of ᴱN. úr “sun”, and derived from {✶ourǝ >>} ✶ourū̆ (PE13/155). Elsewhere Q. Úr(in) was a name for the Sun from the 1910s up through the 1950s, but Tolkien eventually changed this to Vása (MR/198).
