penya

lacking, inadequate

penya adj. "lacking, inadequate"; pl. penyë in penyë tengwi "lacking signs", "inadequate signs"; in early Elvish analysis of Quenya the term for vowels with no preceding consonant, held (in many cases incorrectly) to have lost such a consonant (VT39:6, 8)

penya

adjective. lacking, inadequate, lacking, inadequate; *poor

An adjective for “lacking” or “inadequate” in notes associated with the Quendi and Eldar essay from 1959-60, appearing in both its plural and singular forms (VT39/6, 19). It is likely based on the root √PEN “lack, be without” from the main Quendi and Eldar document (WJ/375).

Neo-Quenya: Helge Fauskanger used penya to mean “poor” in his NQNT (NQNT).

Early Primitive Elvish

manga

root. lacking

A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “lacking”, with derivatives ᴱQ. mange “lack, want, shortage” and ᴱQ. manka “few” (QL/59). There are no signs of this root in Tolkien’s later writing, and it may have been replaced by √PEN “lack” in the 1950s and 60s.
