funda-

thunder

#funda- stem of uncertain meaning occurring in a "Qenya" text, but possibly meaning "thunder" (see the comments of the editor in PE16:59). If the word survived (in Tolkiens conception), it would appear as *hunda- in Third Age Quenya, since Tolkien decided that fu- tended to become hu*-. This could result in such words as hunda**- vb. "to thunder", gerund *hundië (which could then express "thunder, thundering" as a noun).

A neologism coined by Paul Strack in 2021 specifically for Eldamo, a noun variant of the (rather hypothetical) verb ᴺQ. hundu- “to thunder”.
