A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “snare” under the root ᴹ√SNEW “entangle” (Ety/SNEW).
Neo-Quenya: Its Noldorin cognate was also glossed “noose”, so that meaning might apply to neuma as well; this would help distinguish it from later remma “snare” which had more to do with nets.
A prefix for “a large amount” in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/100), used for quantities rather than countable amounts.
