pole

noun. oats, grain (unground kernels of oats, wheat, etc.); flour

tulwe

noun. tall thin pillar, standard, pole; banner

A noun in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “tall thin pillar, standard, pole; banner”, under the early root ᴱ√TULU which originally meant “uphold, support, bear, carry” (QL/95).

maisilanda

noun. sycamore

mapalin

noun. plane [tree], sycamore

A word appearing as ᴱQ. mapalin “plane or sycamore” in Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the 1910s, apparently a combination of ᴱQ. má “hand” with some form of the early root ᴱ√PALA “flatness” (QL/57, 71; PME/57). Here “plane” probably refers to the plane tree (genus Platinus), and the word mapalin probably refers to the hand-like five-lobed leaves of the European variants of these trees, as suggested by the editors. Various adjectives can be applied to this tree-name for different subspecies: ᴱQ. varivoite “foreign”, ᴱQ. fatsevoite “tasseled”, ᴱQ. rámavoite “winged”, ᴱQ. tarukka “horned”, and ᴱQ. wilwarinda “butterflylike”, the last three for varieties of sycamores.

The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had an alternate word ᴱQ. palapapte for “sycamore”, a combination of ᴱ√PALA “flatness” and ᴱQ. pat (papt-) “small leaf” (QL/71). Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s had ᴱQ. maisilanda “sycamore” (PE16/140), possibly a combination of an early iteration of ᴹQ. maite (maisi-) “handy” and ᴱQ. landa “wide”. ᴱQ. mapalin “plane [tree]” also reappeared in this 1920s list (PE16/140).

Neo-Quenya: I’d retain ᴺQ. mapalin “plane tree [Platinus], sycamore, (lit.) hand-flat” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, since the relevant roots survived in Tolkien’s later writings. I would update the adjectives for the various subspecies to ᴹQ. ettelëa “foreign”, ᴺQ. fassitë “tasseled”, ᴺQ. rámaitë “winged”, ᴺQ. rassëa “horned”, and Q. vilvarindëa “like a butterfly”.

neldorion

noun. beech wood

A word in the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the 1910s glossed “a beech wood”, an elaboration of ᴱQ. neldor “beech” (QL/65).

tamarin

noun. yew

tamuril

noun. yew

A word appearing as ᴱQ. tamuril “yew” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, but in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa it was tamarin “yew” (QL/84; PME/84). The etymological basis for either word is unclear.

Neo-Quenya: I would retain ᴺQ. tamuril “yew” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, since there are no later alteratives.

tapatenda mavoisi

noun. Spanish [chestnut]

A variant of ᴱQ. mavoisi “chestnut” that Tolkien labeled “Spanish”, so presumably a “Spanish chestnut” (QL/57). It is a combination of ᴱQ. tapatenda “long fingered” and ᴱQ. mavoisi “chestnut”, likely referring to the long and narrow leaves of that variant.
