ya qensie melmur ne iksa telpe rautanéma
by whom we were told his money had all been stolen from him
A number suffix appearing in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s (QL/33, 69, 71). Its basic function seems to be for forming duodecimal words as in ᴱQ. olwen “thirty-six” = “✱three twelves” and ᴱQ. otwen “84” = “✱seven twelves” (QL/69, 71). However in ᴱQ. atwen and ᴱQ. uiven “twenty” it seems to be used to form a decimal number (QL/33); compare ᴱQ. yukainen “twenty” = “✱double tens” from the 1920s (PE14/49, 82) and ᴹQ. yurasta “24” = “✱double twelves” from the 1930s (PE14/17).
