hea

pronoun. it (emphatic); 3rd sg. neut. pronoun

elwen

noun. heart

A word appearing as ᴱQ. Elben “heart” in the Name-list to the Fall of Gondolin of the 1910s (LT2/202; PE15/23), but as ᴱQ. Elwen “heart” in the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon under the early root ᴱ√LEFE (QL/35, 52). These words were connected to the character G. Elfrith who vanished from later versions of the legendarium.

hatse

noun. headlong movement

A word in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “headlong movement” under the early root ᴱ√HATA “hurl, fling” (QL/39).

orikon

noun. heather

A word appearing as ᴱQ. orikon “heather” in the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the 1910s based on the early root ᴱ√ORO having to do with steep and rising things (QL/70; PME/70).

Neo-Quenya: Since √ORO “rise” survives in Tolkien’s later writings, I would retain ᴺQ. oricon “heather” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.

ilwe

noun. sky, heavens

A noun in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s described as “sky, heavens, the blue air that is about the stars, the middle layers”, derived from the root ᴱ√ILU “ether, the slender airs among the stars” (QL/42). Hence it was above the lower airs (where people breathed) and below the upper airs (outer space); this arrangement of lower, middle, upper airs is one that Tolkien eventually abandoned in his later writings.

lá

noun. moor, heath, open space

A noun in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s given as lā “open space, moor, heath” and derived from the root ᴱ√LAHA (QL/50). It also appeared in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa with the gloss “moor, heath” (PME/50).

verb. to wave, heave, surge (up and down)

A verb in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s appearing as ᴱQ. solto- “wave, heave, surge (up and down)”, a derivative of the root ᴱ√SOLO (QL/39).

Neo-Quenya: I think this word can be salvaged as ᴺQ. solta- as a derivative of the later root ᴹ√SOL, as suggested in ABNW (ABNW) from the early 2000s.

taimoinen

Name of Wednesday in the seven-day week of the Elves (otsola) in an early word list (PE14/21). The day was related to the heavens and was probably derived from taime “sky”.

taime

A word for “the sky” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, with variants Taime and Taimie from the early root ᴱ√TAHA [DAHA] (QL/87). ᴱQ. tea “sky” from Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s is probably related, as suggested by Patrick Wynne and Christopher Gilson (PE16/142).

tan(y)a

noun. fire

An element meaning “fire” in some early names: tanya in ᴱQ. Tanyasalpe (LT1/187), tana in ᴱQ. Tana Qentima equivalent of G. Tôn a Gwedrin “Tale-fire” (PE15/7; LT2/197), and possibly also in ᴱQ. Fatanyu “Hell” (GL/51). Tan(y)a is likely a derivative of the early root ᴱ√tan- (GL/69, 71).

conjunction. and

The usual word for “and” in the 1910s was ᴱQ. ya(n) (PE15/69, VT40/8). It was derived from the early root ᴱ√YA (or possibly ᴱ√(D)YṆTṆ) in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s (QL/104-105). In his later writings, the usual word for “and” was Q. ar, but something like ya(n) survived in the “dual” conjunction yo “both ... and”.
