mahtanë yúyo má véla
*wielded both hands alike
An untranslated word in the phrase mahtanë yúyo má véla associated with the Ambidexters Sentence from the late 1960s (VT49/6). Patrick Wynne suggested this phrase means “✱used both hands alike”, and that véla means “✱alike, having a likeness or similarity” as an adjective form of vē̆ “as, like” (VT49/10).
Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had several similar forms: ᴱQ. víka “like” under the early root ᴱ√VĪ [VI'I] “as” (QL/101), as well as more emphatic ᴱQ. avíka “very much alike” and ᴱQ. inqavíka “exactly alike, identical” (QL/30, 42).
