fatsevoite

adjective. tasseled

An adjective appearing as ᴱQ. fatsevoite “tasseled” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, a combination of ᴱQ. fas (fats-) “tassel” and the suffix ᴱQ. -voite (QL/37).

Neo-Quenya: A later iteration of ᴹQ. fas “fringe, border” had a stem form fass- (PE21/19), and the adjective suffix was generally -itë in Tolkien’s later writing. I would therefore adapt this word as ᴺQ. fassitë “tasseled” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.

fas

noun. tassel

fatse

noun. tassel

pimpilin

noun. hanging tail, tassel

A word appearing as ᴱQ. pimpilin (pimpilind-) “hanging tail, tassel” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, an elaboration of ᴱQ. pint (pimp-) “tail” (QL/74). The meaning of the second element is unclear: its form resembles ᴱQ. lin(d-) “musical voice, tune” (QL/54) but that meaning doesn’t fit. The second element might instead be a variant of ᴱQ. lint (linty-) “fluff, down, soft stuff” (QL/54).

Neo-Quenya: Since I retain ᴺQ. pimpë for “tail”, I’d retain ᴺQ. pimpilin for “tassel, hanging tail” without being overly concerned about the meaning of its second element.

noun. sip, taste

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. sult (sulp-) “a sip, taste” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√SḶPḶ (QL/84).

Neo-Quenya: I’d adapt this noun as ᴺQ. salpë “sip” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, from the later form of the root: ᴹ√SALAP (Ety/SÁLAP).
