entya, enetya adj.

enya < endya adj. "middle" (EN). Compare #endëa.

enya

adjective. middle, *central, middle

An adjective for “middle” in The Etymologies of the 1930s derived from ᴹ✶endya under the root ᴹ√ÉNED “centre” (Ety/ÉNED).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would instead use this word for “✱central” similar to the gloss of later entya. For “middle” I would use the later adjective Q. endëa.
