cainen

[cainen] ("k") cardinal "ten" (KAYAN/KAYAR). According to VT48:12, Tolkien eventually rejected this word (cainen would only mean "I lay", sc. the pa.t. cainë with the ending -n "I"). See quain, quëan.

[cëa, cëan ("k") cardinal "ten", forms Tolkien later abandoned in favour of quain or quëan. An adjectival form caina ("k") was also listed, but must likewise be considered obsolete. (VT48:12-13, VT49:54)]

paẏa
root. requite, punish, take vengeance on, conquer, subdue
A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “requite, punish, take vengeance on, conquer, subdue”, with derivatives like ᴱQ. paime “the vengeance taken, the punishment, the penalty; an infliction” and ᴱQ. paitya- “repay, requite” (QL/72), along with augmented forms like ᴱQ. apaika “conquering” and ᴱQ. apaire “victory, conquest, reduction” (QL/34). G. abair “victory” from the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon was almost certainly related (GL/17). The root ᴹ√SPAY “despise, contemn” from The Etymologies of the 1930s might also be related (Ety/SPAY).
Neo-Eldarin: For purposes of Neo-Eldarin, I think this root might be salvaged as ᴺ√PAY “punish, take vengeance on, requite” to serve as the basis for Neo-Quenya words for vengeance and punishment.

kayan
root. ten
A root Tolkien introduced in the late 1960s as the basis for his latest Elvish word for “ten”: Q. quëan/quain, S. pae, T. pai(n) (VT42/24; VT48/6). It was an extension of √KWA “complete” as in “a complete set of (10) fingers”. Prior this late change, the usual word for “ten” was ᴹQ. kainen (along with other variants beginning with kai- or kea-) from the root ᴹ√KAYAN or ᴹ√KAYAR as it appeared in The Etymologies of the 1930s (Ety/KAYAN). This basis for “ten” dates back to the Early Qenya Grammar of the 1920s (PE14/49, PE14/82). Tolkien was still considering √KAYAN for “10” in the late 1960s before replacing it with √KWAY(AM) (VT48/12).
