hyarmaite
adjective. lefthanded
A word for “lefthanded”, a combination of hyar[ya] “left” and maite “handed” (Ety/KHYAR).
Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. malenka “left handed” as a combination of ᴱQ. má “hand” and ᴱQ. lenka “slow, dull, stiff” (QL/52, 57), but this was before Tolkien decided the Elves were ambidextrous and equally skilled with both hands.
