#nancar- vb. "undo" (destroy). Cited in the form nancari- ("k"), apparently including the connecting vowel of the aorist (PE17:166)

nancar-

verb. to undo, to undo, *destroy

A verb for “undo” appearing in notes from around 1959 as a combination of nan- “back (again)” and car- “do” (PE17/166).

Neo-Quenya: Helge Fauskanger also used this verb to mean “destroy” in his NQNT (NQNT), but I prefer ᴺQ. fehta- this meaning; see that entry for discussion.

undë

adverb. less

A neologism for “less” as an adverb proposed by Paul Strack in a 2022-02-27 chat Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS), inspired by the adjective/pronoun undo “less”. In the 1000W project (1000W), Sami Paldanius instead suggested ampícië “less” as an intensified adverbial form of pic- “lessen”.

mis

palu-

verb. open wide, spread, expand, extend

palu- vb. "open wide, spread, expand, extend" (PAL). Compare palu- intransitive "swell", pa.t. púlë, in Tolkien's early material (QL:75)

avanut-

verb. to untie

únut-

verb. to untie

A neologism coined by Paul Strack in 2018 specifically for Eldamo, a negation of [ᴹQ.] nut- “to tie”. Helge Fauskanger had ᴺQ. avanut- for “untie” in his NQNT (NQNT), but the prefix ava- means refusal or forbiddance, so I think the connotation is wrong.
