van
noun. way, path
A word in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s attested only in its stem form vand- “way, path” under the early root ᴱ√VAHA having to do with departure (QL/99). Its uninflected form was probably ✱van, as in ᴱQ. Vansamírin “Road of the Feast of Double Mirth” (LT1A/Qalvanda). It also had a longer form vanda seen in some names like ᴱQ. Qalvanda “Road of Death” (LT1/213) and ᴱQ. Uswevanda or Uswevandë “Way of Escape” (PE13/102; PE15/21).
