A noun for a “stony place” in The Etymologies of the 1930s derived from the root ᴹ√SAR which had other stone-related derivatives (Ety/SAR). In The Lost Road as originally published, Christopher Tolkien gave this as a “strong place”, but that was corrected to “stony place” by Carl Hostetter and Patrick Wynne in their Addenda and Corrigenda to the Etymologies (EtyAC/SAR).
Qenya
sar
noun. stone (small)
sarna
adjective. of stone
sarne
noun. stony place
sara
noun. stiff dry grass, bent, stiff dry grass, bent [as a type of grass]
A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “stiff dry grass, bent” under the root ᴹ√STAR “stiff” (Ety/STAR). In theory “bent” may be an adjective, but more likely it refers to the species of stiff grass often used in lawns.
saro
adverb. therefore, for that reason named, and so
A correlative appearing in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/112), a combination of ᴹQ. sa “that [anaphoric]” and ᴹQ. -ro “reason”.

noun. [unglossed]
aire

airen

earen

vea
noun. sea
sane
pronoun. that (mentioned), the same one (as before mentioned)
The correlative ᴹQ. sane “that (mentioned), the same one” appeared in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948, a pronominal form of ᴹQ. sa “that [anaphoric]” with masculine and feminine variants sano and {sare >>} sanie (PE23/85, 102-103).
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would update this to ᴺQ. samo “that person (mentioned)” and ᴺQ. sama “that thing/matter (mentioned)”; compare later tamo “✱that person” and tama “that matter”.

hún
noun. earth, earth, *ground
A word in the Declension of Nouns from the early 1930s with stem form hun- and gloss “earth” (QL/39). It might be a later iteration of ᴱQ. han “ground, earth” from the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s (QL/39), and if so then hún might also be used as “✱ground”. I think it is useful to assume so for purposes of Neo-Quenya, as the other attested word for “ground”, Q. talan, is probably used more often for “floor”, including floors above the ground level.

lára
noun. grave
A rejected noun for “grave” in a deleted entry in The Etymologies written around 1937 for the root ᴹ√DAG “dig” (EtyAC/DAG).
Conceptual Development: There was a word ᴱQ. kaune “grave” in the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the 1910s based on the early root ᴱ√KAVA which also meant “dig” (QL/45; PME/45). In the first version of the ᴱQ. Oilima Markirya poem and its drafts written around 1930, Tolkien used ᴱQ. sapsa or sapta for “grave” (MC/221; PE16/75), a word that is clearly based on another root meaning “dig”: ᴱ√SAPA.
Neo-Quenya: Since √SAP appeared in Tolkien’s later writings with the same or similar meaning (PE19/86), I’d adapted ᴺQ. sapta for “grave”, along with the meaning “(delved) hole, pit”; see that entry for discussion.

solor
noun. surf, surf, [ᴱQ.] surge; wavebreak, coast
A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “surf” derived from the root ᴹ√SOL, more specifically from the primitive form ᴹ✶solos (Ety/SOL).
Conceptual Development: The word ᴱQ. solor (solos-) “surf, surge” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s as a derivative of the root ᴱ√SOLO, alongside a longer variant solosse (QL/85). The long form had the same gloss in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa, but the short form solor was glossed “a wavebreak, coast” (PME/85). The form ᴹQ. solor “surf” in The Etymologies was abnormal, in that it showed final -s becoming -r, which may be a remnant of Early Quenya phonology; later on, final s generally survived and medial s became r.

uruite
adjective. fiery
A word in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “fiery”, an adjectival form of ᴹQ. úr “fire” under the root ᴹ√UR “be hot”, but these words were deleted when the meaning of the root was revised to “wide, large, great” (Ety/UR).
Conceptual Development: A similar word ᴱQ. uruvoite “fiery, having fire” appeared in the Qenya Lexicon under the early root ᴱ√URU (QL/98).
Neo-Quenya: The word úr “fire” was restored in some later writings, and this adjective may have been restored with it, but I prefer ᴺQ. úruva for “fiery”; see that entry for discussion.

adjective. fiery
A word in The Etymologies of the 1930s appearing as ᴹQ. úruva “fiery”, an adjectival form of ᴹQ. úr “fire” under the root ᴹ√UR “be hot”, but these words were deleted when the meaning of the root was revised to “wide, large, great” (Ety/UR).
Conceptual Development: The word ᴱQ. urūva “like fire” also appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√URU (QL/98).
Neo-Quenya: The word úr “fire” was restored in some later writings, and this adjective may have been restored with it. I personally would use ᴺQ. úruva “fiery” for purposes of Neo-Quenya. See the entry on ᴹQ. úr for further discussion on the viability of “fire” words based on √UR.
An adjective for “of stone” in The Etymologies of the 1930s derived from the root ᴹ√SAR which had other stone-related derivatives (Ety/SAR).
