yere(n)
noun. pig iron
A word appearing as ᴱQ. ’yere or yeren “pig iron” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, under the early root ᴱ√DYEÐE (QL/105). ᴱQ. yĕrĕ(n) was also mentioned in the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon in the entry for G. ger “ore, metal” (GL/38).
Neo-Quenya: In a 2024-08-17 post in the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS), Luinyelle suggested restoring ᴺQ. yeren with the added meaning “✱ore”, based on G. ger “ore, metal”. Presumably these words would be derived from a Neo-Root ᴺ√GYEREN.
