raustar

rausima

adjective. *hunted

An adjective in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s described as the passive equivalent of ᴱQ. raustea “of prey” (QL/79), hence describing animals that are hunted rather than animals that do the hunting.

raustea

An adjective form of the noun ᴱQ. rauste “hunting” with the translation “of prey” (QL/79), hence used of animals do hunting.

rauta-

verb. to chase, hunt, pursue; to extirpate, exterminate; to steal

A verb in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “chase, hunt, pursue; extirpate, exterminate” based on the early root ᴱ√RAVA (QL/79). In the Early Qenya Grammar of the 1920s it appeared in the phrase ᴱQ. ya qensie melmur ne iksa telpe rautanéma “by whom we were told that his money had all been stolen from him”, so apparently meaning “to steal” in this document (PE14/54).

rausime

noun. vermin

The word ᴱQ. rausime “vermin” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, apparently a noun form of the adjective ᴱQ. rausima “✱hunted” under the early root ᴱ√RAVA (QL/79), thus meaning “a thing hunted”.

Neo-Quenya: This pattern may be modernized as a neologism ᴺQ. farinë “vermin”, a noun form of the passive participle farina “hunted” of the verb fara- “hunt”.

turwa

adjective. powerful

An adjective for “powerful” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√TURU “am strong” (QL/96).

Neo-Quenya: Since √TUR remains connected to power in Tolkien’s later writings, I’d retain this word for purposes of Neo-Quenya, but I’d use it for general or abstract forms of potency, as opposed to being physically powerful (turca or [ᴹQ.] poldórea) or politically powerful (túrëa). For example: turwa nus “a powerful smell” or turwa vangwe “a powerful storm”.

tyulin

valma
