penya

adjective. lacking, inadequate, lacking, inadequate; *poor

An adjective for “lacking” or “inadequate” in notes associated with the Quendi and Eldar essay from 1959-60, appearing in both its plural and singular forms (VT39/6, 19). It is likely based on the root √PEN “lack, be without” from the main Quendi and Eldar document (WJ/375).

Neo-Quenya: Helge Fauskanger used penya to mean “poor” in his NQNT (NQNT).
