yú-

prefix. both

yú

adverb. too, too, *also

A word used for “too” in several sentences from the Quenya Verbal System (QVS) of 1948 (PE22/121-122), for example ᴹQ. qe (ai) e·tulle, (san) inye tulle yú “if/when he came, I came too”. It clearly means “too = ✱also”, and is probably connected to the dual sense of yú- “both”.

Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. yando “also” under the early root ᴱ√YA and related to ᴱQ. ya(n) “and” (QL/104). This word also appeared in the English-Qenya Dictionary of the 1920s, but there it was deleted (PE15/69).
