pampine
noun. tremor, earthquake
A word appearing as ᴱQ. pampine “tremor” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√PAPA (QL/72). In the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa it was glossed “earthquake” (PME/72).
Neo-Quenya: I retain ᴺQ. pampinë for purposes of Neo-Quenya along with many of the derivatives of the (Neo-Root) ᴺ√PAP, but I would use it only for a minor earthquake (a tremor), given the relatively weak sense of the base verb [ᴱQ.] pap- “tremble”.
