noun. museum, (lit.) hall of the past

A neologism for “museum” coined by Paul Strack in 2023 specifically for Eldamo, a combination of [ᴹQ.] vanwie “the past” and mar(da) “hall”, so literally “hall of the past”. This neologism is inspired by Tamas Ferencz’s neologism ᴺQ. autamar of the same meaning, where the first element is instead the verb auta- “pass away”. I’ve altered this because I don’t think a verb is appropriate for the initial element.

The Neo-Quenya Wiki instead had ᴺQ. combemen “museum”, a combination of combë “collection” and [ᴹQ.] men “place”.
