tusture
noun. tinder, chips, firewood
A noun appearing as ᴱQ. tusture “tinder, chips, firewood” in the Qenya Lexicon, a derivative of the root ᴱ√TUŘU [TUÐU] (QL/96).
Neo-Quenya: I think this word may be salvaged in Neo-Quenya as ᴺQ. tusturë based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√TUD from primitive ✱tud+tud-ē (with a reduplicated root), but I would limit its use to “tinder, chips” and use ᴺQ. tundo for “firewood”.
