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!

Early Quenya

hes

noun. brother, sister, *sibling

A word ᴱQ. hes in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with stem form hest-. It was used as a generic term for “brother, sister”, hence = “✱sibling”, and derived from the early root ᴱ√HESE (QL/40).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Quenya-Sindarin, I would retain the word ᴺQ. hes as a derivative of the Neo-Root ᴺ√KHETH to serve as a gender-neutral term for “sibling”.

Another name for Fui Nienna appearing in the Qenya and Gnomish Lexicons from the 1910s (GL/18, QL/40), a derivative of the root ᴱ√HESE “wither” from which the word hesin “winter” was also derived (QL/40).

hesta

noun. the nearest consanguinity

The term ᴱQ. hesta appeared in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with the gloss “the nearest consanguinity” (QL/40), that is the closest relative sharing a common ancestor, usually a sibling but possibly cousins if one has no siblings. The form hesta is followed by (-le) in parenthesis, which usually indicates a stem form but in this case probably indicates a variant form hestale. This word is derived from the early root ᴱ√HESE.

Neo-Quenya: I would retain this word for purposes of Neo-Quenya as a derivative of the Neo-Root ᴺ√KHETH.
