latya

noun. opening

An noun for “opening” appearing as an element in sanwë-latya “thought-opening” in the Ósanwe-kenta essay from 1959-60 (VT39/23). It is probably related to the verb latya- “open (so as to allow entry)”, perhaps an infinitive form.

latya

opening

latya (1) noun "opening" (used as abstract in the source) (VT39:23). See sanwë-latya.

latya-

to open anything (so as to allow entry)

latya- (2) vb. "to open anything (so as to allow entry)" (PE17:159). Cf. the negated form avalatya *"un-open" = to "close"? (VT41:6). See ava- #3.

latya-

verb. to open anything (so as to allow entry)

A verb appearing in notes associated with the Ósanwe-kenta essay from 1959-60, glossed “to open anything (so as to allow entry)” and derived from √LAT “open, unenclosed, free to entry” (VT41/5; PE17/159).

ava-

without

ava- (3) prefix "without" (AR2, AWA). In some cases apparently used as a mere negation prefix: The form avalerya in VT41:6 is seemingly a negated form of the verb lerya- "release, set free"; the verb avalerya- is suggested to have the same meaning as the root KHAP = "bind, make fast, restrain, deprive of liberty". Likewise, the verb avalatya- from the same source seems to mean "to close, shut", this being a negated form of a verb *latya- "open" (q.v.)

ú

without, destitute of

ú (1) adv. and prep. "without, destitute of" (VT39:14). Usually followed by genitive: ú calo "without light" (cala). In one source, ú is seemingly also used as a negative verb "was not" (VT49:13), but Tolkien revised the text in question.
