faen

noun. vapour; [disembodied] spirit

A word for “vapour” in some 1957 notes derived from √PHAY “spirit”, also referring to disembodied spirits as the equivalent of Q. fairë for “spirit” (NM/237).

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I’d use better-known S. faer for a disembodied spirit (MR/349), a more direct cognate of Q. fairë, but I see no reason why faen can’t be used for vapour.

Compounded in Ninquelótë noun "White-Flower" (SA:nim), = Sindarin Nimloth, the White Tree of Númenor; ninqueruvissë ("q") "white-horse-on" _(MC:216; this is "Qenya", read _ninqueroccossë or *ninquiroccossë in LotR-style Quenya). Normally ninquë would be expected to have the stem-form ninqui-, given the primitive form ¤ninkwi; Ninquelótë rather than *Ninquilótë must be seen as an analogical form.
