Early Quenya

noun. (noise of) wind

Early Quenya [LT1A/Súlimo; PME/086; QL/086] Group: Eldamo. Published by

súlisan

proper name. Sunday

Alternate of the first Sunday in the Valinorean fortnight (PE14/22), a combination of súlime “wind” and sana “day”, replacing rejected Taimósi (probably from taime “sky”).

súlime

noun. wind

A noun for “wind” in Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√SUHYU “air, breath, exhale, puff” and connected to the name ᴱQ. Súlimo (QL/86). Later on, Q. Súlimë was used as the name of March (LotR/1110), whereas Q. Súlimo became “Breather” (PE21/85), a combination of Q. súlë (†þúlë) “breath” + Q. mo “person”.

súru laustanéro

the winds rushed

The ninth phrase of the first version of the Oilima Markirya poem (MC/220). The first word is súru “wind” followed by the past 3rd-singular feminine form of lausta- “to roar”, so that a better translation might be “the wind was roaring” (PE16/62).

Decomposition: Broken into its constituent elements, this phrase would be:

> súru lausta-né-ro = “✱wind roar-(past)-she”

Conceptual Development: The second and third drafts of the poem used the similar phrase surussin lurdon lausto (OM1b-c: PE16/57, 60). The phrase súru laustanéro appeared in the fourth draft of the poem (OM1d: PE16/62) and remained the same thereafter.

súke

noun. resinous trees, pine or fir

A word appearing as ᴱQ. súke “resinous trees, pine or fir” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√SUKU having to do with resins and gums (QL/86).

Neo-Quenya: I retain this early root as ᴺ√THUK “resin, gum”, so I would also retain ᴺQ. súcë [þ] as a general word for a “resinous tree, pine or fir”.

súlimi

feminine name. Varda

A name of Varda, feminine equivalent of Súlimo appearing in the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa from the 1910s (QL/86; PME/86).

súyon

noun. nephew, daughter’s son

ᴱQ. súyon appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with the glosses “nephew, daughter’s son”, a combination of ᴱQ. sui “daughter” and ᴱQ. yon “son” (QL/87). It also appeared in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa with the gloss “nephew” (PME/87). Based on its cognate G. fwion “nephew, properly sister’s children”, I think it is more likely this word means “sister’s son” rather than “daughter’s son”.

Neo-Quenya: I would retain this word in Neo-Quenya as a now-obscure elaboration of √YON “son”, but since there are no other words for “nephew” in Quenya, I would use it for male children of any sibling.

súye

noun. air, breezes, winds

A noun in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “air, breezes, winds”, derived from the early root ᴱ√SUHYU “air, breath, exhale, puff” (QL/86).

Early Quenya [PE14/021] Group: Eldamo. Published by

nen

noun. nostril

A word appearing as ᴱQ. nen “nostril” in several documents from the 1920s (PE14/72; PE15/75; PE16/113). Its plural form nengi made it clear its stem was neng- (PE14/72; PE16/112). Its (Early Qenya) dual nenqi was also “usually used of the nose or both nostrils of one person” (PE15/75).

Conceptual Development: In the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, the word for “nostril” was ᴱQ. sūma under the early root ᴱ√SUHYU “breath, exhale”, where its dual sunwi “nostrils” could also be used as “nose” (QL/86). The word súma “nostril” was mentioned in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa along with its dual sunwi (PME/86). Under the same early root, Tolkien had ᴱQ. súne as a more ordinary word for “nose”, specifically a nose of a human (QL/86; PME/86). ᴱQ. súne “nose” survived in the documents from the 1920s (PE14/76; PE15/75; PE16/136), but “nostril” became ᴱQ. nen (neng-) as noted above.

See the entry on ᴹQ. nengwe for a discussion of later “nose” words from the 1930s.

Neo-Quenya: Since ᴹ√NEÑ-WI was the base for the word ᴹQ. nengwe “nose” in The Etymologies of the 1930s (Ety/NEÑ-WI), ᴺQ. nen (neng-) “nostril” might remain viable for purposes of Neo-Quenya as a derivative of the shorter form of this root: ᴹ√NEÑ. However, in later Quenya grammar its dual would most likely become ✱nengu, and I would use the dual only for “(pair of) nostrils” and not “nose”.
