mastakorne
noun. [bread] loaf
A word appearing as ᴱQ. mastakorne “loaf” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, a combination of ᴱQ. masta “bread” and ᴱQ. korne “loaf” (QL/59). In Early Qenya Word-lists of the 1920s, “loaf” was instead {korma >>} kormasta (PE16/141).
Neo-Quenya: Since the relevant roots √MBAS “bake” and √KOR “round” continue to appear in Tolkien’s later writings, I would retain ᴺQ. mastacornë “[bread] loaf” for purposes of Neo-Quenya.
