nu karne vaiya

under red skies

The thirty first line of the Oilima Markirya poem (MC/214). The first word is the preposition nu “under” followed by the adjective karne “red” and the noun vaiya “sky”, translated loosely as “skies” in the English.

Decomposition: Broken into its constituent elements, this phrase would be:

> nu karne vaiya = “✱under red sky”

nungo

noun. cold (in the nose or head)

This word appeared as ᴱQ. nungo “a cold in head” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s derived from ᴱ✶nṇg·ẇǝ under the early root ᴱ√NṆGṆ “have a cold” (QL/66), where the [[eq|syllabic ṇ became un [uŋ] before the primitive labial w]]. In Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s, the word became ᴱQ. nungwe “cold in the nose” (PE16/145), probably of similar origin.

Neo-Quenya: I’d retain ᴺQ. nungwë “cold (in the nose or head)” for purposes of Neo-Quenya as a variant of ᴹQ. nengwe “nose” with the back-vowel u representing congestion in the nose.
