kan

adverb. four times

kanu

noun. lead

A word appearing as ᴱQ. kanu “lead” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√KANA (QL/44). It was also identified as the source of the k in the name of the magical metal ᴱQ. Tilkal (LT1/100).

Neo-Quenya: I retain ᴺQ. canu “lead [metal]” for purposes of Neo-Quenya as there are no better alternatives in Tolkien’s later writings.

kanga-

verb. to weave, spin

A verb in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s appearing only in its 1st sg. form kangin “I weave, spin” under the early root ᴱ√KANGA (QL/45).

kangaris

noun. spider

A word for “spider” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, based on the verb ᴱQ. kanga- “weave, spin” from the early root ᴱ√KANGA (QL/45), also appearing in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/45).

kankale-malina

noun. daffodil, (lit.) yellow laughter

A noun appearing as ᴱQ. kankale-malina “daffodil” in the Qenya Lexicon and Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa of the 1910s, a combination of ᴱQ. kankale “laughter” and ᴱQ. malina “yellow” (QL/44; PME/44).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya I would update this word to ᴺQ. lalië-malina “daffodil, (lit.) yellow laughter” using a later form [ᴺQ.] lalië for “laughter”.

kantl

noun. (large) harp

kandóla

noun. crown of head

A word appearing as ᴱQ. kandóla “crown of head” in a list of body-parts from the 1920s, an elaboration of ᴱQ. nóla which likewise could mean “crown of head” (PE14/117), but elsewhere generally meant “head” or “hill” (QL/67). The initial element of candóla is probably from ᴱ√KASA “head”.

Neo-Quenya: As the basic elements continued to appear in later versions of Quenya, I would retain this word as ᴺQ. candóla “crown of head” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, with kas-ndōlā > candóla, because sn > zn > nn after which the long cluster nnd reduced to nd.

kangale

noun. web

A word for “web” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, based on the verb ᴱQ. kanga- “weave, spin” from the early root ᴱ√KANGA (QL/45), also appearing in the contemporaneous Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/45).

kanuina

adjective. of lead

A word appearing as ᴱQ. kanuina “of lead”, an adjectival form of ᴱQ. kanu “lead” (QL/44).

Neo-Quenya: Since I retain ᴺQ. canu “lead [metal]” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would retain ᴺQ. canuina “of lead” as well.

kanuva

adjective. leaden

A word appearing as ᴱQ. kanuva “leaden”, an adjectival form of ᴱQ. kanu “lead” (QL/44).

Neo-Quenya: Since I retain ᴺQ. canu “lead [metal]” for purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would retain ᴺQ. canuva “leaden” as well.
