The Early Qenya Grammar (EQG) of the 1920s had ᴱQ. {huokainen >>} huekainen “ninety” as a combination of ᴱQ. hue “nine” and ᴱQ. kainen “ten” (PE14/49, 83).
Neo-Quenya: Late in Tolkien’s life, Tolkien changed the Quenya word for “ten” to quëan or quain, which has been the basis for various neologisms for “ninety”: ᴺQ. neterquëan or ᴺQ. neterquain. I prefer to use ᴺQ. neterquain for purposes of Neo-Quenya.
