A variant word for “thousand” from the Early Qenya Grammar (EQG) of the 1920s as a combination of ᴱQ. tuksa “hundred” and ᴱQ. kainen “ten”, following the pattern of words like ᴱQ. kan(ta)kainen “forty” (PE14/50, 83). Properly it is tuksa kainen, shortened to either tuksakainen or tuksainen. Compare ᴱQ. húme “thousand”.

The Early Qenya Grammar (EQG) of the 1920s had several different words for “thousand”. The manuscript version had ᴱQ. {súme >> húme >> ellume >>} húme “thousand”, originally meaning “a great number” (PE14/50 and note #56). The typescript version had ᴱQ. maite (maisi-) “thousand” (PE14/83).
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I use ᴺQ. húmë “thousand” since Q. maitë means “handy; handed” in Tolkien’s later writings. Some Neo-Quenya writers prefer ᴺQ. mencë “thousand” as a hypothetical cognate to S. meneg.
