A word for “son” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with variants hilu and hilmo under the early root ᴱ√HILI (QL/40), both variants also appearing in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/40).

ion

noun. son

In the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, ᴱQ. Ion was the “mystic name of God, 2nd Person of Blessed Trinity”, that is the “Son” in the “Father, Son, Holy Ghost” trinity (QL/43). In that document yon or yond- was given in a couple of places as (archaic?) words for “son” (QL/43, 106). In Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s, Tolkien gave ion as the equivalent of ᴱN. “son”, along with a plural form yondi (PE13/113). However, in the English-Qenya Dictionary Tolkien said yondi was an irregular plural form of ᴱQ. yondo “son” (PE15/77), and this is the form he typically used in later writings.

noun. Elf

qinde

noun. womanliness, femininity; (concr.) women as a whole

A noun for “womanliness, femininity” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with variant qinne, both derived from the root ᴱ√QIMI (QL/31). In the entry, this word was predeceded by the definite article in parenthesis (i) and Tolkien gave it the alternate gloss “(concr.) women as a whole”; by this I assume Tolkien mean qinde by itself meant “femininity”, but with the definite article i qinde meant “women as a whole”.
