Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!
A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “a male, man (of Men or Elves), male animal” derived from the root ᴹ√ƷAN “male” (Ety/ƷAN). The first version of this entry gave it the gloss “male (of all creatures)” (EtyAC/ƷAN).
Conceptual Development: In the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s this word appeared as ᴱQ. anu “a male” (QL/31), also appearing in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa with the gloss “man” (PME/31).
In drafts for the first version of Quenya Personal Pronouns (QPP1) from the late 1940s, Tolkien had various adjectival forms based on the root ᴹ√NŌ/ONO “beget” (vs. ᴹ√RÉ “bear, produce”), including ᴹQ. noa, nóna, or ᴹQ. noito “male (of any kind)” (PE23/87), but the relevant sections were rejected and elsewhere √NŌ is not specifically masculine.
