pekte

noun. plume, cox-comb

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. pekte “plume, comb (of cock)” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√PEKE (QL/73), also mentioned in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa in its stem-form pektĭ- “cox-comb” (PME/73).

Neo-Quenya: I would use the later word ᴹQ. lúpe for “plume”, but I think this Early Qenya word might be salvages as ᴺQ. pehtë “cox-comb” as a derivative of the Neo-Root ᴺ√PEK(W) “comb”, perhaps usable more generally for the crest of birds.

pelek

masculine name. Axe

Qenya cognate of G. Peleg appearing on an early name list (PE13/103), perhaps a reduced form of pelekko “axe”.

pelloini

collective name. Earth [Fay]

Name for a type of Earth Fay in Tolkien’s “Creatures of the Earth” from the 1910s (PE14/10). Its etymology is unclear.

peksiporoku

masculine name. Chantecler, (lit.) Cox-comb

An otherwise unexplained name in the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa from the 1910s (QL/73; PME/73), a combination of pekte “plume” and poroke “barn fowl”. According to the editors (Gilson, Hostetter, Wynne, Smith), “Chanticleer” is the Old French name of the rooster in the fable of Reynard the Fox.

peqe-

verb. to comb, card wool, tease

A verb appearing as ᴱQ. peqe- “to comb, card wool, tease” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√PEQE (QL/73).

Neo-Quenya: I think it is worth retaining ᴺQ. pequ- for purposes of Neo-Quenya as a derivative of a Neo-Root ᴺ√PEK(W) “comb”.

peqen

noun. comb

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. peqen “comb” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√PEQE (QL/73).

Neo-Quenya: I think it is worth retaining ᴺQ. pequen for purposes of Neo-Quenya as a derivative of a Neo-Root ᴺ√PEK(W) “comb”.

penta

noun. nose, beak (probably of such birds as woodpeckers)

A noun in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “nose, beak” derived from the early root ᴱ√PETE, the basis of several “hammer” words (QL/73). Tolkien specified that this word was used “probably of such birds as woodpeckers”, but he also marked the word with a “?”.

eanosse

collective name. People of the Eagles

A Qenya equivalent to G. Thornhoth in an early name list (PE13/105), a compound of ea(r) “eagle” and nosse “people”.

kolman

noun. peak, summit

A noun appearing as {kolmaine >>} kolman “peak, summit” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s derived from the root ᴱ√KOLO (QL/47). The word kolman “peak” also appeared in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/47).

mildi

collective noun. pease

A word appearing as ᴱQ. mildi “pease” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s derived from primitive ᴱ✶mldẏǝ under the early root ᴱ√MLŘL [MḶÐḶ] (QL/62), where “pease” is an archaic word for “pea”. Tolkien somewhat cryptically said it was “used plural or as yə sing”. I interpret this to mean that it could be used as a collective plural form, or as a singular with stem mildy-. Tolkien could have been indicating that its singular ✱milde was a back formation from its apparently plural form mildi, much how English “pea” was derived from apparently plural “pease”, originally from Latin “pisa”.

Neo-Quenya: I would adapt this word as ᴺQ. mildë (mildi-) “pea” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.

qolúva

adjective. pestilent, pestilential

A word appearing as ᴱQ. qolūva “pestilent, pestilential” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, an adjectival form of ᴱQ. qolu “disease” (QL/78).

Neo-Quenya: I’d retain ᴺQ. quolúva for purposes of Neo-Quenya in reference to things and environments apt to cause disease. Not all Neo-Quenya writers accept quo- as a valid combination; see the entry on how [[q|[wo] became [o]]] for further discussion.

hyelle

noun. pebble

A word for “pebble” in Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s (PE16/138; PE16/144). Its etymology is unclear, and in later writings ᴹQ. hyelle was used as a word for “glass”.

tolot

noun. pebble, cobble-stone

A word for “pebble, cobble-stone” in the English-Qenya Dictionary of the 1920s (PE15/77). Its etymology is unclear; elsewhere in Quenya ᴹ√TOLOT was connected to the number “eight”, and √TOL with things that stand or stick up.

qolúvie

noun. pestilence

A word appearing as ᴱQ. qolúvie “pestilence” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, a noun form of ᴱQ. qolūva “pestilent, pestilential” (QL/78).

Neo-Quenya: I’d retain ᴺQ. quolúvië “pestilence” for purposes of Neo-Quenya. Not all Neo-Quenya writers accept quo- as a valid combination; see the entry on how [[q|[wo] became [o]]] for further discussion.

eldalie

noun. People of the Elves, Elf-folk

lie

nosse tuilinda

proper name. *People of Tuilindo

Qenya cognate of Nos Duilin (PE15/22), a combination of nosse “people” and the genitive of tuilindo “swallow”.

puntl

noun. mem. vir., *penis

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. puntl in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√PU(HU) “generate”, with an erased gloss “mem. vir.” (QL/75). As suggested by the editors, “mem. vir.” is an abbreviation of Latin “membrum virile” = “male organ”, hence “✱penis”.

Neo-Quenya: I would adapt this word as ᴺQ. puncil “male organ, ✱penis” based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√PUK.

randa

noun. bark; peel, rind, outer ring, circumference

A word for “bark” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, also glossed “peel, rind, outer ring, circumference” and derived from the early root ᴱ√RAŘA [RAÐA] (QL/79).

orivaine

noun. pod, seed pod, pea; peapod (a boat)

A word appearing as ᴱQ. orivaine “pod, seed pod, pea” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, a combination of ᴱQ. ore (ori-) “seed” and ᴱQ. vaine “sheath, pod” (QL/70). In the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa this word was glossed “peapod (a boat)” (PME/70).

Neo-Quenya: In Tolkien’s later writing he had ᴹQ. erde for “seed”, so I think this word could be updated to ᴺQ. erdevainë “seed pod, peapod” for purposes of Neo-Quenya. For an individual “pea” I would use ᴺQ. mildë.

hos(se)

noun. folk, people, tribe

lasse

lata-

nosse

noun. the folk, people

tayorme

noun. mountain peak

lalle

noun. pebble

A word for “pebble” the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s appearing under the root ᴱ√LALA, though Tolkien marked it with a “?” and other derivatives of the root had to do with “babble” (QL/50). This word was also mentioned in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/50).

alandri

collective name. Earth [Fay]

Name for a type of Earth Fay in Tolkien’s “Creatures of the Earth” from the 1910s (PE14/10). Its etymology is unclear.

qolu

noun. disease

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. qolu “disease” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s derived from the early root ᴱ√QOLO (QL/78). This word was also mentioned in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/78).

Neo-Quenya: I’d retain ᴺQ. quolu “disease” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, and would assume it applies to disease in general, as opposed to disease or sickness within a body which would be [ᴺQ.] hlívë. Not all Neo-Quenya writers accept quo- as a valid combination; see the entry on how [[q|[wo] became [o]]] for further discussion.

naute

noun. skin

A noun for “skin” appearing in a list of body parts from the 1920s (PE14/117). Its etymology is unclear.

soresta

noun. family

The word ᴱQ. soresta “family” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s as a combination of ᴱQ. so- “together” and ᴱQ. resta “kin” (QL/85).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would adapt this word as ᴺQ. orendë as a combination of later prefix Q. o- “together” and ᴺQ. rendë “kin”. Furthermore, I would use it specifically for a nuclear family (just the parents and children), as opposed to Q. nossë which seems to refer to an extended family or clan.
