únirna

 adverb/adjective. spontaneous, unforced, vouluntary

Parts
ú-“not-, negative prefix”
nir-“press, thrust, force (in a given direction)”
-napassive participle suffix

Depending on the age of the formation, úninda might be possible as well, restoring the d of its primitive Elvish root √NID, which became r between vowels in Quenya, but survives in the combination -nd-. This is illustarted by the past tense forms of nir-: archaic †ninden was eventually reformed to nirnen.

Thanks for contributing to Parf Edhellen!

I like this word, though it would probably be a good idea to record nirna “forced” separately. Also, depending on how old you want the word to be, it might come out as NIDnā > ninda and I’m still pondering whether √NID or thakta- would be the preferable source ‘non-physical force’. For ‘voluntarily’ specifically I’d also like to throw nirmenen/nirmello “of/with will” based on Tolkien’s lintiénen “quickly, with speed”. I’ll ask for some other opinions.

Regarding the technical side of things, you should change the Group from “Eldamo — fan inventions” to “Neologism” since your formation doesn’t appear on Eldamo and I would encourage you to at least add links to the words mentioned, which you can do with the shorthand [[q:ú-]], [[q|nir-]].

Hello

You are right, my fault(s). Thank you for the explanation :). It seems that an error occurres when I try to delete it, so I'll try it later I think.

I'm a bit trying to get how the contribution works, is there somewhere some kind of "manual" maybe?

Gilruin #2319

Ok, I have fixed some things and added a few details to the contribution, is that still in line with what you want to propose?

Miril #2321

Yes, I think so!

Gilruin #2323

Good, consider it approved then!

I’ve seen what happened to you! I’ve added it to my “todo” list of things to fix for the next patch in August. Thank you!
