nosdaith

 noun. coat of arms

This compound noun consists of words:

noss - family/ house

taith - mark

atto

noun. daddy, father (familiar/family)

A family or familiar word for a father, roughly equivalent to English words like “daddy” (VT47/10, 26; VT48/19), a simplified form based on the root √AT(AR) (VT48/19).

Conceptual Development: In the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s the familiar form was ᴱQ. atta, as opposed to the normal form for “father” which was ᴱQ. attu (QL/33), and likewise in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/33). In Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s, ᴱQ. atto or tatto was the ordinary word for “father” (PE16/135). In The Etymologies of the 1930s, ᴹQ. atto was a hypocoristic (familiar or pet name) for “father” derived from the root ᴹ√ATA “father” (Ety/ATA). Atto seems to be generally used as a familiar word in later writings, most notably in Tolkien’s notes on Elvish Hands, Fingers and Numerals from the late 1960s (see above).

nossë

clan, family, 'house'

nossë noun "clan, family, 'house' " (NŌ), "kindred, family" (PM:320), "kin, people" (LT1:250, LT1:272, LT2:338)

nos(së)

noun. kindred, family, kindred, family, [ᴹQ.] clan, ‘house’, [ᴱQ.] folk, kin, people

nórë

noun. land, country; †people, race, tribe, land, country, [ᴹQ.] region where certain people live, [ᴱQ.] nation; [Q.] †people, race, tribe, [ᴹQ.] folk, [ᴱQ.] family

emmë

noun. mummy, mother (familiar/family)

The affectionate word for “mother” (= “mummy”) was Q. emmë in notes on Elvish Hands, Fingers and Numerals from the 1960s, based on the late 1960s root √EM for mother (VT47/10; VT48/6, 19).

Conceptual Development: The earliest hypocoristic (pet-name) word for “mother” was the “childish word” ᴱQ. ama in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√AMA (QL/30); it was also mentioned in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/30). In The Etymologies of the 1930s it became ᴹQ. amme “mother” derived from the root ᴹ√AM of the same meaning (Ety/AM¹), though in this document it seems to be an ordinary word and not a pet name, a variant of ᴹQ. amil. In late 1960s notes on Elvish Hands, Fingers and Numerals Tolkien revised the Elvish root for “mother” from √AM to √EM, and the affectionate form became emme as noted above.

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I prefer to retain the root √AM for “mother” since it is what Tolkien used for 50 years, and as such recommend restoring the 1930s form ammë to use as affectionate “mummy, mommy”; see the entry on Q. amil(lë) for further discussion.

nossetur

noun. patriarch, family head

A neologism for “patriarch” or “family head” coined by Helge Fauskanger for his NQNT (NQNT), a combination of nossë “family” and -tur “master”. Helge coined another neologism for “patriarch”, ᴺQ. atartur with initial element atar “father”, but I prefer nossetur.

velyávë

noun. gourd, Cucurbitaceae, the gourd family

A neologism for a “gourd”, or more generally fruits of the gourd family Cucurbitaceae, coined by Orondil in 2021 on the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS) as a combination of the Neo-Root ᴺ√WEL “bubble” with yávë “fruit”.
