perya- vb. "divide in middle, halve" (PER)

quer-

verb. to turn, to turn, *revolve

A verb for “turn” appearing in various forms in the Ambidexters Sentence from 1969 (VT49/20-21). It is clearly based on the root √KWER “revolve” (PE17/65), and so probably has that sense as well. If so, this verb might be used both transitively (turn something) and intransitively (turn oneself = revolve).

Conceptual Development: A similar verb ᴱQ. {wir- >>} kere “turn” appeared in Early Qenya Word-lists from the 1920s (PE16/134), likely based on the early root ᴱ√KERE of the same meaning (PE14/65). This early root had a variant ᴱ√ku̯ere [KWER] which Tolkien eventually decided was the normal form of the root.

anto

mouth

anto (1) noun "mouth", also name of tengwa #13 (Appendix E)

anto

noun. mouth, mouth [as a thing for eating]; [ᴱQ.] jaw

The basic Quenya word for “mouth”, appearing as the name of tengwa #13 [4] in The Lord of the Rings Appendix E (LotR/1123). It is likely derived from the root √MAT “eat” from primitive ✱amtō, and hence refers to the mouth as a thing for eating. Quenya has a number of other more specialized words for the mouth, however, such as Q. pé for the closed mouth, Q. ópa for the mouth opening, Q. songa for the interior of the mouth and Q. náva for the entire mouth apparatus (tongue, lips and teeth) used for speech.

Conceptual Development: ᴹQ. anto “mouth” first appeared in notes on The Feanorian Alphabet from the 1940s, where it replaced ᴹQ. anta “jaws” (PE22/50 note #50). In the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, ᴱQ. anto (antu-) was itself glossed “jaw” and was based on the early root ᴱ√MATA “eat” (QL/31, 59).
