saya-
verb. to be hungry
An impersonal verb appearing as ᴱQ. saita- “I am hungry” in the Qenya Lexicon under the early root ᴱ√SAẎA, alongside a variant form saya- (QL/82). The verb say- also appeared unglossed on page of Qenya Verb Forms from this same period (PE14/28).
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would simply say nán maita “I am hungry”.
