aute

noun. goods, property, wealth, money

A noun for “goods, property, wealth, money” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√AW̯A (QL/33).

Neo-Quenya: Since √AW “possess, own, keep” resurfaced in Late Notes on Verb Structure (LVS) from 1969, I would retain ᴺQ. autë for purposes of Neo-Quenya, but only in the sense “property”. For “goods” I would use ᴹQ. armar, for “wealth” ᴺQ. aurië, and for “money” telpë.

awes

adjective. rich

The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. ausin “rich”, probably an adjectival form of G. avos “wealth, fortune, prosperity” (GL/20). Gnomish Lexicon Slips modifying that document instead had awsin or awsirol, glossed “fortune” and connected by a brace (PE13/111). Though translated as nouns, both awsin or awsirol appear to be adjectives, the latter an adjectival form of G. awsir “fortune”. Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s had ᴱN. {aurin >>} awes “rich” with variants gwes and gwest.

A word in Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s glossed “rich”, derived from ᴱ✶pingwé (PE13/147). The editors suggest it was likely related to ᴱQ. pingwa “fat, rich (of soil)” from the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s (QL/74).

moir

noun. goods

A (singular) noun for “goods” in Early Noldorin Word-lists of the 1920s, based on the adjective ᴱN. maur “good” (PE13/150). Moir was originally the plural of the adjective, but Tolkien later decided the plural form of the adjective was identical to its singular form and moir was a noun instead.
