"blow" (the wording used in the source is unclear, but wā-ya is said to mean "blow", and after discussing Sindarin forms Tolkien instructs himself to "alter Quenya", introducing a new primitive form ¤wā-wā with váva- as the Quenya outcome. Possibly this still means "blow" as a verb referring to wind.) PE17:34

As usual, the spelling of the Etym forms shows q instead of qu_.) _According to PM:318 and VT47:8, the "chief use [of this word] was in reference to the tightly closed hand as in using an implement or a craft-tool rather than to the 'fist' as used in punching".

drambor

noun. clenched fist; blow with a fist, clenched fist; blow with a fist; [G.] thudder

A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “clenched fist, hence blow with fist”, a combination of dram “heavy blow” and paur “fist” (Ety/DARÁM). It seems this word can refer to both a punch with a fist and a clenched fist ready for a punch.

Conceptual Development: G. drambor was glossed “thudder” in the name G. Dramborleg “Thudder-sharp” (PE13/103; PE15/22).
